I couldn't find any Amazon press releases on this (only a holiday bake fund raiser for the hungry).
Need more info from Amazon.

I wonder if JR has considered an Amazon portal here. As a fundraising tool it seems like a no-lose proposition.

The Million Moms have become a left wing pack of freaks , just like the Brady Bunch and NOW.
Any man who is 18 and old enough to go to Iraq is old enough to come home and have a beer and buy a gun.

You won't. Anybody with a website can do this and hundreds of groups have a similar deal.
To: mbynack
Please let Amazon know how you feel. I will! Thanks for the post!

The NRA or GOA or FR could have a link through their own websites to Amazon and get the same benefit.

It's not a hoax, it's simply a click through arrangement that allows organizations to collect a fee from Amazon. Lot's of groups use it, including Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership.

Amazon.com is promoting the Million Mom March, a group known for its support of strict gun control laws and regulations. It will give five percent of every sale to the organization when visitors access Amazons website through the Million Mom March site.There is ZERO chance I will patronize Amazon henceforth.
I have a large (and I mean HUGE, multi-hundred-dollar) technical reference purchase coming up, so they will be the ones who lose. I had originally planned to patronize them.
DO NOT patronize Amazon.

Turns out that there is no official relationship, just that the MMM people are hosting, as anyone can, and Amazon storefront and receiving the standard commission. You can do it too. Nothing about Amazon's supporting the content.Damn. I got gigged.

Thats why I pinged, so I can check back later. I don't want to go give Amazon some hate mail if they don't deserve it. It's generally a pretty good website.

What if they had a link to Hamas? Would that connote sponsorship?

And we wonder why the lie'brals think we're stupid.
I have an Amazon seller account. Lots of people do. It's business. Not politics.
