It looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. Make your own conclusions.

1. The Million Mom March said this (http://www.millionmommarch.com/html/contribution.html) about your donation, until a few days before May 14 [emphasis is mine]
• "We have 501-c(3) status as a nonprofit tax entity and have recently been adopted by The Bell Campaign. Contributions are tax deductible."
2. The Internal Revenue Service says this (http://www.irs.gov/plain/bus_info/eo/eo-faqs.html#12) about 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax entities.
• "Can tax-exempt organizations endorse candidates for public office?" "Whether a tax-exempt organization may endorse candidates for public office without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status depends upon the type of tax-exempt organization it is. For example, § 501(c)(3) organizations may not engage in political activity, including endorsing candidates, but other organizations, such as §501(c)(4) organizations, may engage in political activity so long as that is not their primary activity. However, § 501(c) organizations that make expenditures for political activity may be subject to tax under § 527(f). For more information, download Election Year Issues."
3. The Million Mom March's "Apple Pie Award" page praises several politicians and candidates for favoring gun control.  (http://www.millionmommarch.com/html/pies.html)
• Los Angeles City Attorney Jim Hahn, Rep. Joe Hoeffel, (D) PA, Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell, Gov. George Pataki of NY, Congressman Connie Morella of MD.
• Also President Bill "Mom, Apple Pie, Adultery, and Sexual Harassment" Clinton, who cannot run for the Presidency-- but his Vice President, Al Gore, is running on a gun control platform.
• Hillary Clinton, who is carpetbagging for New York Senator, is participating in the march. (More about this below)
4. The Million Mom March's "Time Out Chair" effectively calls for the defeat of House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX).  (http://www.millionmommarch.com/html/timeout.html)
• "We owe you a great debt, Mr. Delay, for telling us in another recent article in the New York Times that this House has been bought and paid for by lobbyists. How much is a child's life worth nowadays, Mr. Delay? Was the Representative's salary not enough to garner their loyalty?" [excerpt]
