Stockholders in publicly traded companies: you can file a stockholder resolution to demand that your company withdraw and repudiate its support of the Million Mom March.
- What this Web page is about
- List of former Million Mom March sponsors that have apparently disassociated themselves from this organization
- List of Million Mom March sponsors and contact information (where appropriate; addresses of private individuals will not be posted)
Sponsors (individual, business, and corporate): the Million Mom March told you they were a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization when they asked for your money. But they recently announced plans to become a political action committee (PAC), to which donations are not tax deductible.
- Furthermore, their activities while they claimed tax exempt status (endorsing and condemning political candidates) may have violated tax regulations. I have filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service about this. I am not an attorney or tax professional and I cannot give you tax advice, but you might want to ask your attorney or tax professional whether you want to continue to sponsor (contribute money to) the Million Mom March.
- Look for a column by J.R. Labbe on this issue
- Religious organizations: are you allowed to sponsor political action committees?
- Corporate sponsors: the Federal Election Commission says,
- Prohibited Contributions and Expenditures
The FECA places prohibitions on contributions and expenditures by certain individuals and organizations. The following are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures to influence federal elections:Corporations;
Labor organizations;
Federal government contractors; and
Foreign nationals.So what's the purpose of this Web page?
Those who saw the recent movie edition of Merlin will get the idea immediately. Close to the end, Merlin fights the evil sorceress Mab. She asks what he thinks he can do to harm her. Merlin remembers that it is people's belief in her that gives her her power, and he answers, "We're going to forget you." He, and everyone around him, turn their backs on her and walk away. She screams at them (sort of like Rosie O'Donnell) to turn and look at her, but they ignore her, and she fades into nothingness.And that is what this Web page is about: getting the Million Mom March's sponsors and supporters to turn their backs on lying manipulators and demagogues like Donna Dees-Thomases and Rosie O'Donnell. Like Mab, Dees-Thomases and O'Donnell depend on peoples' belief in them for their political and social power. When people turn their backs on them and walk away they, like the dog "doo" in Clint Eastwood's Sudden Impact, will dry up and blow away.
Good Million Mom March sponsors (i.e. ex-sponsors)
The following organizations were formerly on the Million Mom March sponsor list, but are no longer there-- or have announced that they are no longer sponsoring this organization. I wonder what it was that convinced them to drop their support-- the realization that they had been lied to about 12 children a day, or the Million Moms' concealment of their plan to become a political action committee?
- Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
- "Church officials also said they were not aware that MMM organizers planned to become politically active regarding candidates for office, and would have preferred knowing the organization's plans before the event." ("Lutheran Church Not Informed of Gun Control March Politics," By Scott Hogenson, CNS Executive Editor16 May, 2000) Hey, guess what, Donna Dees-Thomases? Even people who might be sympathetic to your cause don't appreciate being deceived and misled. Remember that as this list (like Pinnochio's and your noses) gets longer and longer in the coming weeks.
- Northwest Airlines
- No longer on the sponsor list
Sponsor list and stockholder relations address (where available; I will update this as I get more).
Note: names of apparently private individuals have been removed from the list. It is not the purpose of this Web page to promote or even facilitate invasion of anyone's privacy. I have made efforts to list only public entities like corporations, businesses, celebrities, foundations, and religious institutions. Our mission with private businesses, religious institutions, and so on is to inform them that the Million Mom March lied to them to obtain their support, and concealed its intention to become a political action committee.California Senator Dianne Feinstein also endorsed the Million Mom March. So what else is new?
