    Worth the small contribution to be able to vote the bastards out... hopefully.

    I hope I am wrong about this, but my gut feeling is that this is a last ditch effort to grab as much cash as possible before closing the doors. If I do it, I will use a credit card with a favorable track record for handling disputed charges.

    IIRC, you have to be an annual member for five years to be eligible to vote.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Yes, and then they might have to look at similar abuses by BLM and similar non-profits.

    I was going to mention Palosi, Feinstein, and McConnel but no need to now. It's a good gig if you can get it.

    That's correct. I just pay my dues because I have to. Range rules. I look at it as insurance, although shake down might be a better term. The NRA has been useless here in WA. fighting the Evil Empire. I can't help to think that all that embezzled money could have helped us when we were going under in years past.

    I’d wait about a year or so, and see how this pans out..IMO, All of the board members should be removed..there’s too many wayne wannabes in there,and they’ll do or say anything to get to Wayne’s old job..besides, they don’t need 70 board members, that needs trimmed down to about 12-15 at the most..Until this type of reorganization is done, I’m not giving them anything..

    My membership is up in June. I will renew before then, but only 1 year at a time. The NRA must get its finances and leadership in order before I risk any more than a year at a time.

    ^^^This is the true, long-term elephant in the room, IMO. WLP may have been the huge Walrus getting all the attention, but a BOT inflated to 76 sucklings? Ludicrous.

    This article claims WLP and company cost the gun rights movement more than $1 billion. That amount is enough so that it would have made a difference over the last few years.
