The Million Mom March: What a crock! (2000)

Last Sunday's Million Mom March, the gun-control protest organized (as the major media is finally admitting) by the sister-in-law of Hillary Clinton's longtime lawyer pal and hatchet woman, surly Susan Thomases, may not do the Democrats much good this year.

...It doesn't take a weatherman to figure out that the average citizen doesn't want national policy determined by packs of weeping women led by a shrill, dimwitted talk-show host (Hillary sycophant Rosie O'Donnell).

Creative Clinton Campaign Financing (SCANDAL)

Old news but highly relevant to the 2008 elections. Hillary Clinton played a central role in orchestrating the Million Mom March, which was later exposed for alleged (1) improper use of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to support a political campaign and (2) a rather creative Form 990 tax return.

Million Mom March scandal fact sheet http://husaria.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/mmm.doc (1.3 megabytes or so, downloadable Word document)

(1) This fact sheet documents the original Million Mom March’s alleged misuse of 501(c)(3) tax exempt money to fund a political campaign and its provision of inaccurate information to the Internal Revenue Serviceo The Million Mom March also lied to its own supporters and allies about firearm misuse killing “12 children a day.”

(2) The Million Mom March was a project of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (formerly Handgun Control Incorporated) and its actions reflect on the character and integrity of the Brady Campaign, as well as that of the prominent political figures who were involved in it. Hillary Clinton was closely connected to the Million Mom March, noting that it was put together by her close associate Donna Dees-Thomases.

The fact sheet includes screenshots of the Million Mom March's Form 990 tax return for 2000, in which it told the IRS it made no efforts whatsoever to influence legislation. These screenshots are placed side by side with excerpts from the MMM's own Web pages and those of leftists like Dianne Feinstein in which it is obviously lobbying for gun control laws.

Thank you for the reminder !

Also, This article says “Gun Control”. I don’t believe they argue that people should control guns. They argue that they should all be un-armed - Except for criminals and the Clintons. Oops, there I go with the redundancy again.
