    I think Amazon supports causes that earn them money.

    Ordered a few things, since I'm addicted to Amazon and have aboout 50 things in my Wishlist :(

    I just did the laborious task of moving all my Wishlist item though to the SAF link...now when my liberal friends use it they make a contribution...:D (I think [???])

    I wish I had known this when I made some Hurricane prep purchases.

    I just emailed anyone and everyone that I know who cares about such issues and most are Amazon users and almost all of them are prime members. Thanks for the heads up!

    Support SAF by Shopping at Amazon
    How can you save money AND support SAF’s lawsuits (helmed by legal rockstars like Alan Gura) at the same time? It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3!

    1. Get to Amazon through saf.org/amazon. When you want to shop at Amazon, get there by going to saf.org/amazon – you’ll be redirected to the regular Amazon homepage. Voila!

    2. Buy stuff! Really. It’s that simple. Every item that you buy through saf.org/amazon (even if you just put items in your cart and buy them later) is credited to our fundraising program. Oh – it costs you NOTHING, by the way. Total win-win, right?

    3. Watch SAF win (with your help!). Up to 10% of every purchase through saf.org/amazon is sent by Amazon to SAF about 45 days later. That’s some 2A cha-ching!




    Still have questions? No problemo. Here’s more on this awesome program:

    When you go to Amazon through saf.org/amazon, Amazon creates a special “session” cookie that associates your purchases with our affiliate account. It’s all transparent to the shopper; there’s literally no difference in your shopping experience.

    No, we can’t know who ordered what. Amazon does a great job making sure your privacy is protected. (Plus, you know, we don’t wanna know…)

    Once you get to Amazon through saf.org/amazon, all you will see in your browser's address bar will be a url containing a "tag" like this one: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&tag=s0cc7-20. There won’t be any “confirmation page” or notice that you’re shopping through saf.org/amazon. Hey, you didn’t want another pop-up to deal with anyway, right?

    “This rocks!” you say? We think so, too, so don’t be bashful – go share the good news with the world! Thanks very much for your continuing support of our work to advance your rights.


    Sincerely,

    The Second Amendment Foundation team

    The SAF site still has a link to Amazon: http://www.saf.org/

    If you are a Prime member, do you still get to utilize all the benefits of Prime when you use the SAF portal?

    Yes. This isn't anything special endorsed/sponsored by Amazon, it's just their affiliate program. It's transparent to the end user, but SAF will get part of the sales. A lot of times, if you click a link to Amazon from any random website, part of your sale will be going in that website's affiliate account.

    Cool. I buy stuff on Amazon all the time. Just got an Amazon Visa card I use it so much so SAF will be getting a lot of money in the future from me.

    You all will make a fortune from my wife.

    Amazon is the debil.

    Can't lie. I buy too much stuff with amazon prime too.

    At least I can justify my purchases now!

    Specifically, the proper redirect URL is:

    http://www.saf.org/amazon

    Very nice. Glad I saw this link. Only wish I had known about it years ago. I have ordered plenty of stuff through Amazon and was just looking at ordering some sandals and kids' toys last night. Saw this and ordered them through the link.

    Just wish there was some confirmation on my receipt that a portion of the proceeds went to SAF.

    Is there any way for us to tell that this worked? Like, will I be able to see a message in my receipt saying that some percentage of my money went to SAF? I always like verification that I am doing something right.
