Thank you for taking the time to write to us at Amazon.com to express
your opinion.

We have great respect for your concerns and appreciate your position
with regard to drlaura.coms participation in Amazon.coms Associates
Program.  It is important to note that we do not endorse the point of
view of any of our Associates, nor do we consider ourselves sponsors
of their web sites.

We do not pay an up-front advertising fee to drlaura.com.  Associates
post links to Amazon.com on their sites in exchange for a small
percentage of the sales that result when their visitors follow these
special links to place an order with us.

We would like you to know that we searched through drlaura.coms
website, but did not find any open calls for discrimination.  If you
are able to find any explicit discrimination at drlaura.coms web
site, then we certainly want to be notified of the exact text and URL
on her site where it is located.

Our Associates include viewpoints on all sides of virtually every
major political, social and religious issue.  We hope you will
understand that our goal in working with an Associate is not to
provide support to their point of view, but simply to provide
interested readers with access to all the products in our catalog.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  We appreciate your
interest in Amazon.com.


Best regards,

Galen Sather
