Via Cousin John
NORMALLY, at this time, I send an email announcing the posting of another
Southern Devotion Blog entry, an email advertisement for a
Confederate Soldier Statue, or one of our
DVD Collections from our
Online Store. Not so, this time! I want to address something far more serious.
UNFORTUNATELY,
I must announce the removal of ALL of our products from Amazon.com!
Below my signature block is an E-mail from Amazon Services, I received
on Friday, July 10th, at 9:11 PM. In the E-mail, Amazon Services
mentions they are removing the Confederate Diaries Collection because
they consider it "confederate flag merchandise." Amazon Services also
refers me to their "Restricted Products" Policy and gives me 48 hours to
comply with the remainder of my Amazon listings or loose my selling
privileges.
I can't begin to express how disgusted I am regarding
the removal of the products and the wide-spread removal of our beloved
Confederate flag from flag poles and retailers through out the nation.
Why don't they go after porn, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, smokes, Nazi
flags, and terrorist promotional materials. Each of these does far more
damage to our society. Makes you wonder what's next .. Confederate
Statues, Monuments, Grave-sites, the Christian flag, Christian symbols,
the removal of ALL Confederate historical documents, like the ones sold
on
DixieJunction.com, from the Internet, public schools. and Universities.
OUR
ACTION .. At the moment, Amazon.com only removed our Confederate
Diaries Collection, but there is no way we can comply with the rest of
our items, they are based on actual historical documents. So, in
protest, we have removed ALL of our items from Amazon.com. My opinion,
eBay will be next. Even though it will no doubt hurt our "bottom line,"
from now on, ALL of our products will ONLY be available on
DixieJunction.com.
MESSAGE
to ALL .. I want to encourage ALL who read this email to patronize
Southern businesses, like ours, before buying elsewhere. Your
consideration and loyalty will help us, and others, endure the loss of
sales.
MESSAGE for SOUTHERN BUSINESS OWNERS .. I have created a
Southern Business Directory on DixieJunction.com. It is FREE to list your business. Click the above link to learn more!
