Response I received from FedEx re: NRA discounts

[CurtEastPoint]

My comments: I recommend you stop favoring murderers and hawkers of weapons of war by giving discounts to members of the NRA. I have made my decision to ship via UPS and USPS exclusively. Shame on Fedex.

Their response? "Suck it."

7. Heres the FedEx link - "NRA Business Alliance"

The NRA has cleverly made it seem like FedEx is endorsing them in "The Business of Freedom"

I take FedEx at their word - but they need to look at this.

It sure looks like an endorsement.

9. Request UPS whenever you have a choice. nt

Considering the petulant nature of your email. They could have responded in kind.
