Hey folks just called corprate for office depot talked to a attorney through his secretary. He said everyone is entitled to thier opinion and basically didnt care that this guy was raising political money through thier site. You might want to give them a call 1800 937 3600. I asked for legal maybe the chairman or CEO might care.

Ive gotten about 3 companies to take down their names just by letting them know it was linked.

[CJ Wolf]

I'd bet they'd care if it was going to fund Al Queda.

I got a response from REI that basically said they were in the process of asking him to CAD. Within 30 minutes the link to REI was gone. It's funny that about 4 hours ago this guy wanted to raise 10 million to defeat bush, now he wants $4,000. He sure mmoved down quickly...

I called our local office depot and they gave me the same
phone # and said I should talk to public relations.
The girl who answered the public relations line said
"Her boss was out of touch and would I leave a voice mail.
I did but they have not replied to me yet."

[jonalvy44]

As I watch the democRATS try to destroy our efforts in Iraq, I'd swear that they are Al Queda.

[maeng]

I am not sure exactly how to do that, but guide me and I will.

GOOD WORK!!

Here was REI's response.

Dear Lee,

I am writing in regards to the REI Affiliate program.

We thank you for bringing this website to our attention. REI has an affiliate program in which any person can earn money by putting our link on their website. If a customer used their link to purchase with our company, they earn a small percentage of the sale.

REI IS NOT donating money to an anti-Bush campaign. This site has broken several affiliate program rules. The situation is currently being reviewed. It should only be a short time before the account is disabled.

We hope you understand that in a free country in which people can say anything they want, they may not always be telling the truth.

Wishing you happy outdoor adventures!
