UPDATED 2-24-2018 Today United and Delta have cut ties with the NRA.

As my friend Eric Milgram, spokesperson for the Newtown Action Alliance has said, make this an economic issue. Make the firearms industry pay the full costs of the damage their products do.

I've shown in the past with right-wing radio hosts that corporations don't like to be associated with a toxic brand. But they often need a negative news event about the group or person to cut ties.

The Parkland shooting was another occasion for activists to ask corporations, "Do you still want to associate with the NRA brand?" Today 18 of them said no

1. Amazon is a big one

I emailed last week saying if they did not discontinue NRATV I would quit doing business with them. Below is their generic reply and my original email.

Your Name: Robert
Comments:I have been an Amazon Customer for years and a prime member for close to a year. I have been completely satisfied and like prime and prime video very much.

You air NRATV on prime. The only thing that would make me cancel prime and quit using Amazon is your support of NRA. If you continue to support NRA, I will not be an Amazon Customer. I will be an ex Amazon Customer. Your support of NRA contributes to the murder of Americans.
