Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Jeff Bezos said the e-commerce giant is working with lawmakers and state officials to explore legal options to counter President Donald Trumps executive order on immigration.
In an email to staff Monday, Mr. Bezos said the company has reached out to members of Congress to explore legislative options. The companys public policy team in Washington, D.C., also has reached out to senior administration officials to make clear its opposition, Mr. Bezos wrote.
In one of the strongest signs of corporate disapproval of the order, Mr. Bezos said Amazon has prepared a declaration of support for a suit expected to be filed against the order by the Washington state Attorney General. We are working on other legal options, as well, he added.
To our employees in the U.S. and around the world who may be directly affected by this order, I want you to know that the full extent of Amazons resources are behind you, Mr. Bezos added.
Leaders from across the technology industry have criticized Mr. Trumps temporary immigration ban on foreign nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries, expressing concern about the orders effect on their employees, with some executives saying the ban violated their personal and company principles.

Maybe Amazon should worry about the way it uses knock-off phony “distributors” who charge full price as original stuff and then you are SOL on the warranty.
hint hint, don’t buy from My Mobile GLX NOT an authorized Samsung distributor.
Wow. I really may have to abandon Amazon.com over such ignorance.
Bezos had best watch his step. I know I am not alone.
you should shit can that anyway!! they just started recurring check deduction on me out of the blue a couple months ago... no warning no nothing... I called em up and demanded my money back. I still can watch Prime all day long. I’m just not a member. you don’t have to be. Tell them you want out anyway!
Use them as a storefront to find what you want. Then Google the seller and buy direct. Starve these traitors.
“Amazon might need a review to determine if there are anti trust or inter state commerce violations.”
Time to dust off the Sherman Act.

Yep. And also Amazon sells a poop ton of counterfeit gear. Much of it air mailed directly from communist China. I wonder how Jeffie boy looks in stripes?
PS. . .Just checked. . .my Prime Membership is up in June. Live in the boondocks so will have to force myself to get out and shop. Perhaps an industrious Freeper will have a list of good on-line shopping sites a little later.
Thank you for buying American. You alright in my book!
PS Again.
Another thought. . .this is a good thing. Will curtail some of my impulsive spending!!!!!!
Just cancelled Prime after a long damned time. I’ll still use their product reviews but will make actual purchases elsewhere.
The may be the most convenient game around but there are higher principles.

And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust...
I will not patron any company anymore that puts it’s agenda of cheap labor above the lives and security of Americans for their own profits. FU AMAZON get out of US move to China or Syria, that means you CEO of Amazon and all your family, don’t you dare live here protected by our police and military while you don’t give a damn about bringing in those who want to attack our police and military. You are not an American company, you are a bedouin on the deserts of you own profits. Get the f out and move to Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, I am not interested in getting run over by a truck so you can eat sushi, get the f out of the country and live with your cheap labor foreign haters.
No Amazon for me EVER again and no joke. F their cloud and AWS as well, most everything on AWS goes right into the hands of the Chicoms.
Just cancelled my membership too. Was up to renew on 2/14. Will be getting my Downton Abbey elsewhere (library)
I also live in the boonies—get my stuff shipped to my work because they can’t seem to find my address.
“Let’s Roll!”
Calling on all freepers to ditch Amazon
Use ixquick or duckduckgo
That is excellent advice. Amazon screws stores selling on their site. They always side with buyers who claim item was not received even though tracking shows it was received. They give the money from seller's account back to the "occupy wallstreet" scammers. They do not give sellers a way to see buyer's history and sellers have no way to give buyer feedback. Ebay also does not allow buyer feedback that is not "Positive". Liberals suck.
I was considering giving them another chance, but not now.
Here is a start:
You may also unsubscribe from all Amazon marketing communications. Please note that this excludes transactional e-mail (transactional e-mail includes messages related to orders, listings, and bids) and AmazonLocal and Amazon.com Delivers subscriptions.
Just canceled my Prime and all their apps. Done.
