Subject: PAX and Levi’s

On 11/08/99 someone posted the machinations of the Levi Strauss company in their efforts to support victim disarmament. I sent an e-mail to the
feedback link telling them I would never buy their products again:

Feedback: http://www.levistrauss.com/hr/feedback.asp

The PR chick blew me off with this canned BS
:
Dear Rob:

Thank you for taking the time to write us. Customer feedback is very important to us and we appreciate your taking the time to express your opinions about this issue.

PAX is a non-profit, anti-violence organization which strives to reach youth all over the country by making a difference and attaining a society free of gun violence.

Levi Strauss & Co. supports PAX’s goal to bring all Americans together to support common sense solutions to the gun violence epidemic. PAX does not seek to ban firearms. It only seeks to end firearm violence through measures which the majority of Americans, including gun owners, can support.

Levi Strauss & Co. believes that all students should have an opportunity to learn in a safe environment free of violence and by supporting PAX and their petition, we hope to help put an end to gun violence in our schools.

Your views have been registered and we appreciate your taking the time to write and express your thoughts about this important issue.

Sincerely,

Amy
Levi Strauss & Co

You want victim disarmament in this country?

I’ll never buy another product from your company.
