Dear Amazon,

We the people have decided to boycott your company. We will NOT shop and will encourage our family and friends not to shop with you. We will NOT stand by you while you ban the Confederate Flag. Our stand is The Confederate Flag does NOT represent hate. It represents our History and Heritage. You are uneducated when it comes to our flag. Until you educate yourself and lift the ban we will NOT shop with you. You are trampling our first amendments rights and you will lose our business until you stop.

The feedback regarding this move to limit historical expression continues to inform our ongoing strategy. We are currently evaluating how best to present these concerns directly to the corporate leadership at Amazon. Change requires consistent pressure on those who prioritize current trends over the preservation of our heritage.

Our flag has been fine nor does it play any part in anyones personal agenda you clearly can't hold the flag responsible for any one mans actions

If Nazi parfonaial is allowed to be sold then confederate flag items should be allowed to be sold. Nazis murdered millions of people. The confederate flag did not. You are allowing fear to rule you and your wrong perception of the flag to rule over you. Open a book and do real research.

A better stance would be to remain neutral on issues like this. If it is not illegal then you should sell it. People can choose to buy it or not. We do not need Amazon or any other business deciding social issues for us.

I guess my money isn't worth anything to you, so your products won't be worth anything to me. Spend a decent amount with you, but Fingerhut takes up the slack.

Please see this flag as a symbol of our Southern Heritage, honoring our ancestors. It is not a symbol of hate or racial identity or any negative connotation......we are as proud of our ancestors as anyone else.

I have to agree. I will not buy anything else from you until and if this ban is lifted. You won't be the first place I run to find anything anymore. There are more places to look than yours. You can sell ISIS items and other such crazy terrorist junk but you ban a flag that so many of our people died for??

Until Amazon educates themselves on the Confederate flag and the true history of her, I will take a stand and do everything in my power to spread the word on how you can buy a flag of murdering hate groups like ISIS and The New Black Panthers and even a Nazi flag from your web site. So #boycottamazon until Amazon stops stomping on our first amendment rights.

Our history shoulnt be banned, you can fair and see the whole picture of what happened with out looking at both sides , no American flags should even be banned ,especially those which were used in war ,carried by soldiers, to be cleanseing our history is the same things the Nazis and Red Chinese did in their countrys ,its not American , its not Constutional, an I was sworn to uphold and defend our U.S. Constution and (all )our Our American flags so help me God an no time limit ,from that day forth!
