I just received this email from "The Freedom States Alliance", a Joyce Foundation funded astroturf group:
There doesn't seem to be any reason why this would not be true. I'll never shop at Amazon again.

Dear stalin,
Freedom States Alliance is working around the country, thanks to your support, for our mission of Changing the Way America Thinks About Guns. And now, we've come up with a very easy and very simple way for you to help.
Now, whenever you buy from Amazon.com through the link below, a portion of your purchase will automatically go to the efforts of Freedom States Alliance and our associated state groups.
It's that simple. Save this email, and whenever you shop on Amazon.com, use this link to do it:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/freestatalli-20
And when you check out, a portion of your purchase-- up to 8.5% depending on the item-- will automatically go to FSA. There are no extra forms to fill out, you don't have to enter any codes, and you don't have to remember any special passwords. All you need to do is enter the Amazon.com site from the link above, and then make purchases as you normally would.
For your convenience, we've also placed that link on the front page of our website at freedomstatesalliance.com. Whenever you shop at Amazon, use that link (look for the Amazon.com logo) to visit their site, and a portion of your purchase will go automatically go towards our mission. It's a completely easy and simple way for you to support our efforts.
Amazon.com is one of the biggest retailers online. They've got terrific deals and a great selection on books, movies, and music, and even videogames, housewares, and apparel. Whether you're buying a new book for yourself, or a gift for someone else, Amazon will have it-- and when you use the link above, a portion of your purchase will automatically support the efforts of FSA.
Thanks very much for your support-- it's only with your generous help that we're able to continue our mission, and the work of our affiliated state groups. Gun violence is a devastating problem in America, but thanks to programs like this and your participation in them, we're gaining the ground we need to stop it.
Sincerely,
Freedom States Alliance
Changing the Way America Thinks About Guns and Securing Our Nation's Future
There doesn't seem to be any reason why this would not be true. I'll never shop at Amazon again.
