    One down -- three more to go!
    Let's force Amazon.com to stop
    marketing molester materials

    In answer to thousands of emails and faxes, Amazon.com pulled the disgusting "NAMBLA Bulletin" from its online shelf only a week after ConservativePetitions.com began its effort. While it would be nice to praise the online giant for its fast response, that would be wrong.

    Amazon.com should never have offered the molester material in the first place. The corporation has a long history of aiding and abetting the pedophile cause -- a money-making tactic that continues even today. It took public outrage to get the sickening how-to newsletter removed, but Amazon.com refuses to learn its lesson. It still offers three North American Man Boy Love Association products that encourage and inform child molesters.

    Sign the petition below, and let's see how fast these three books are removed. Amazon.com has fought hard to peddle pornographic and molester-minded materials. It's likely to take a larger effort, so alert everyone you know about Amazon.com's insistence to profit from molestation by putting America's youth at greater risk.

    The NAMBLA-produced books with Amazon.com webpages are:

    • Loving Boys -- A two-volume book set authored by Dutch "boy-love" advocate Dr. Edward Brongersma that reportedly "eschews both the common Judeo-Christian belief that man-boy contacts are morally wrong and the traditional psychiatric premise (never honestly tested) that they are unnatural, perverted and harmful for boys."

    • Amazon.com sells two other Brongersma books, including Male Intergenerational Intimacy: Historical, Socio-Psychological, and Legal Perspectives.

    • Anarchist of Love: The Secret Life of John Henry Mackay -- Author Hubert Kennedy glorifies anarchist philosopher Mackay by claiming his experience as a boy-lover helped shape his conviction that anarchists must free themselves of psychological obstacles resulting from social oppression.

    • Witchhunt Foiled: The FBI Vs. Nambla -- Ruled to be child pornography by Canadian Customs, it chronicles a series of confrontations in the courts and the media between the FBI and NAMBLA in the Northeastern United States.

    Although their webpages said the three books are "not currently available," they could be. Amazon.com tells interested child molesters to "occasionally check this page to see if it has become available." And a closer look rewards pedophiles with the fact used copies of Loving Boys are available to purchase through Amazon.com.

    As one disgusted reviewer said of Loving Boys: "What a horrible shame that a successful company, like Amazon, has demonstrated their lack of morals and social values by choosing to sell materials like this that are both destructive to the book's reader and to the innocent, young children they may end up preying upon. Shame on you, Jeffrey Bezos, Amazon CEO!"

    Amazon.com, which has teamed with Borders for online sales, continues to hide behind the First Amendment to justify its sale and promotion of books advocating adult-child sex in cooperation with NAMBLA, perhaps the most evil organization in the United States. Its primary goal is to help men have sex with young boys.

    NAMBLA masks its promotion of child sexual abuse by calling it "man/boy love." This perverted organization has its own web site with hundreds of members worldwide. Its "NAMBLA Bulletin," a quarterly newsletter, tells about the various sexual exploits of pedophiles and provides legal and philosophical justifications for the molestation of innocent young boys. NAMBLA also lobbies for the lowering of the age of sexual consent so its members can gain legal access to boys for sexual abuse.

    A $200 million federal lawsuit alleges NAMBLA incites members to "rape male children" and "serves as a conduit for an underground network of pedophiles in the U.S." The pedophile group naturally is being defended by the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The suit was filed by the parents of Jeffrey Curley, lured into a van in 1997 by two NAMBLA members who attempted to rape the East Cambridge, Mass., boy. When he resisted, Christopher Jaynes, 25, and his homosexual lover, Salvatore Sicari, smothered Curley to death with a gasoline-soaked rag and raped his corpse.

    The NAMBLA Bulletin was mentioned by Jaynes in his diary, saying finding the group "was a turning point in discovery of myself," that the newsletter previously offered by Amazon.com "helped me to become aware of my own sexuality and acceptance of it."

    Such molester materials are resulting in horrific damage in America. Studies show homosexual males are 20 times more likely to molest a child than a heterosexual male, and 32 percent of all child molestation is done by homosexuals -- representing only 1.5 percent of the population!

    And thanks to Amazon.com and Borders, more damage is being done through its support of NAMBLA, whose goal is to legalize pedophilia! That's because, for many in the homosexual rights movement -- children are the final prize. They will stop at nothing to attain their objective, which is UNHINDERED ACCESS TO OUR CHILDREN -- at any time and place of their choosing.

    Amazon.com and Borders depend upon the good will of millions of customers-and it should also be concerned about selling a product that leads directly to the sexual molestation of boys!

    This is not an issue of free speech or censorship. Amazon.com can freely choose which products it sells. And if it is selling a product that promotes the sexual abuse of boys, it should have the decency to stop immediately! Amazon.com would certainly not sell books or magazines promoting the lynching of blacks. It should not be selling a product that promotes the sexual abuse of boys!

    Please sign the petition below and send copies of this to your friends and neighbors. Encourage them to sign it as well. This petition will go directly to Amazon.com President Jeff Bezos.

    Thanks for helping us protect boys from sexual abuse.

    Sincerely,

    Jim Hughes
