1. I've seen several posts today noting different companies that are breaking ties with NRA.

Is anyone keeping a tally?

[Leghorn21]

6. Not me, because who can keep up, Granny?! But yesterdays exit by the First National Bank

was apparently a huge piece of news and helped get this “ADIOS NRA” ball rolling!!

[WhiteTara]

13. Enterprise, Alamo and National

all dropped them yesterday

[dchill]

42. *Do you have more Info. about FED EX? New DU Post,

"These Companies Are Staying with the NRA" from Huff Po today has Fed Ex included, so does the Think Progress website.
Huff Po article, in the Fed Ex section, states that a page has been removed from the NRA website, but their shipping co. (?) hasn't made a statement about the relationship with the NRA. ~ Thanks!

[underpants]

[Chakaconcarne]

30. At the end of the day, that's what will be left.....

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. Yes!

[octoberlib]

22. Hertz just did , too!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. The Trumpanzees are exhausted boycotting so many anti-NRA companies :) . . . nt

[MontanaMama]

25. Saves me from writing

to Fedex today to complain! I use them for parcel service every day. I’ll write a thank you note instead.

[BigmanPigman]

28. YEAH!!!

I had already planned to boycott FedEx since it is the only one of the 22 companies that I use.

RISIST! It works!

[mainer]

29. I'm not sure what it means that FedEx cut ties.

Does that mean FedEx doesn't give corporate discounts to them? Were they doing that?

[LanternWaste]

31. I never expected the reaction we're getting coming out of last week's mass-killing.

I never expected the reaction we're getting coming out of last week's mass-killing. There's a part of me, buried dark, deep and inaccessible ever since Columbine, that sees a bit of hope this week.

That maybe there will be change.

And yeah... I'm getting off my ass this time.

[Justice]

45. The cell phone video of the shooting in virtual real time and students speaking out

made tremendous impact.

I watched one cell phone video of kids in class room and heard shots - it was deafening. Just made such an impact on me. Had no idea how loud the sounds were.

I also read some of the autopsy summaries that HuffPost published of Las Vegas victims. Only got through about 8 before had to stop. Not sugar coasting how much worse damages is from these bullets. I mean people who lost multiple limbs during Boston Marathon bombing lived yet these bullets killed virtually immediately.

The kids saying this is the last one, we call BS on this excuse and that excuse. Really said what most of us thought but had not heard on TV before. Only heard elected officials saying thoughts and prayers.

[TarponSnook]

33. I just called Amazon customer service and dumped my Amazon prime membership!

Anyway I can participate to defeat the NRA....I WILL!

[4now]

34. That good to hear. Maybe Amazon will do something about their NRA TV app

And here is a link to Amazons NRA TV app in case you want to see some of the comments/reviews.

Some good news to start the weekend... thank you everyone!

[TNNurse]

39. I would like to amend the "we" in we are being heard,

to Those Students Are Being Heard, they are doing the big work. "We" have been ignored for years.

[George II]

40. I was surprised that Norton (Symantec) was involved with them, glad they dumped them.

[blake2012]

44. FedEx needs a reminder who provides most of their revenue

Call or write to them

[Cha]

46. WOW!!!!! What's next, Amazon?!
