NRA Leadership Troubles, What Next?

[Ingomike]

This week I've been getting 2 emails a day from the NRA. They are "from Wayne" and use his name frequently in the text.
Considering that every gun forum has had plenty of members posting comments that they won't give money until Wayne goes, I'm surprised that the NRA still thinks Wayne's name carries a positive feeling for fund raising.
Many corporations have severed ties with chief executives after a public scandal that didn't involve something as serious as questionable use of funds. I am curious why the NRA feels that Wayne is still an asset.

One word answer: POWER

In a legal blow to the NRA, a NY judge has ruled that the NRA's former ad agency Ackerman McQueen must comply with a subpoena from NY AG's office.

NRA argued that it had contractual right to vet anything Ack/Mac turned over to AG. Judge disagreed.

It is ridiculous, especially when so much of that money ends up in LaPierre's pockets. It is no wonder that they "don't have enough money to fight the antis...", LaPierre took it all!

Welcome to INGO.

Nothing new here at all. That $54 million number has been out there for well over a year and the fact that Ackerman McQueen has been milking the NRA for years with LaPierre's blessing is already well known.

This is just The Trace (a Bloomberg backed anti-gun website) using the court filing as a reason to pull the story out of the drawer again and frame it as new.

That doesn't minimize the need to continue calling for LaPierre's ouster, but this is not new info by any means.

Well that explains it . . . I got a letter from Wayne over the weekend begging for money to stem the impending doom of the NRA . . . It went in the shredder.

I send them back with a sharpie print: "No money till WLP goes!"

Yep, I've done that too . . . They probably know my handwriting by now . . .
