Well bye… LaPierre

[mike mccormick]

"But the jury did not find him liable for breaking laws against self-dealing when he secured a post-employment contract with the NRA in a package that the New York Attorney General’s Office valued at over $17 million, finding that it was properly approved in advance by the NRA board."

Golly, so he still is up another $13 million of NRA member money before it is all said and done...

Proof that the entire board should be out on their collective ass.

The members should quickly find out if WLP and the others that were stealing from them can be charged in criminal court. Returning a portion of the stolen funds is not punishment. That money belongs to the members. Also the contractors that were 'kicking back' to WLP and others should be charged. All former board members should be banned, of course WLP's agreement should be immediately canceled and attorney fees used to defend WLP and the others also returned. This criminal behavior was covered up by too many board members, and financial officers. Any and all that had any fiduciary responsibility should be investigated. They do not deserve the trust of the membership. This is very upsetting to me, I guess we all are too trusting.

Oli North testified. 38 million dollar deficit due largely to misspending. What did they do? Not cut back on misspending, they cut back on their core functions like training.

Former NRA chief Wayne LaPierre misspent gun rights group's money and owes more than $4M, jury finds

The jury ordered LaPierre, 74, to repay almost $4.4 million to the powerful gun rights group that he led for three decades.

OK, now I can start contributing to the NRA again. I’ve been a life member for 20 years, but I haven’t given them a dime since the nonsense with Wayne started.

Recently was on the phone with the NRA webpage tech support getting my login reset. Got the fund raising spiel several times. Was thinking exactly what does that have to do with resetting my login access and why don't y'all fund that with some of that 17 million? I declined each time obviously.

OK, now I can start contributing to the NRA again.

I'm sure the NRA board will appreciate that, seeing as they gave WLP a $17 Million dollar golden parachute they need to make good on...

BINGO....THANKS

Did anyone else get the Go Fund Me request for LaPierre's retirement plan? Just kidding but I wouldn't be surprised.

Actually, you are NOT required to vote for 25 BoD members.
The way it works is, if you vote for ONE member, he or she gets your entire vote.
If you vote for more than one, they get that FRACTION of your vote.

So, you can 'Bullet Vote' for ONLY the candidate(s) that you believe would best represent you (or us).

That is incorrect. The candidates you mark on your ballot each get one vote, but you do not need to vote for 25 candidates. I plan to only vote for candidates nominated by petition. The current BOD candidates and those nominated by the Nominating Committee will not get a vote for me.

 

[mauser284]

I left NRA when he was comming in and have not been a member of that orginization for a long long time. They are not the only players in the game! Give your money to those that really represent you not the old guard that is ripe with corruption!

You sir, are correct, and I was operating on false info. My apologies. Edited to correct.
