~~Ping!
I don’t believe that the NRA had this in their mind. They are guilty of back-dooring period. And I said before, for me it’s bye bye NRA.
Right . It is not so different than the McLame-Fiendgold Incumbent Protection act .
>> And now, it’s both parties.
It’s an indication of hopelessness and self preservation at the expense of our Liberties.
The NRA can go to hell if this is the type of crap it seeks to support.
Sordid.
I rode by on the Harley.
I kissed ‘em off when I found out one of their board members, grover norquist, was a big guy in the muslim terrorist front group CAIR. their agenda setter, lobbyists, fund raiser and overall heavy hitter, he was ALSO an NRA board member!!!!!!!! AND they knew of his anti American muslim crap!!!!! they did not care or remove him once they found out!!!!
Soros is a group of one. I am sure they exempted him somehow also.
John Dingell, a conservative. I think he was an NRA board member but other than that he’s a socialist.
Dingell’s no conservative.
No law means NO LAW. Close Congress.
True campaign finance reform would allow unlimited contributions from US citizens providing:
1) Payment was made via check drawn on a US bank.
2) Contribution was posted on the internet within 24 hours of receipt. Internet listing would disclose full name of the donator, address of the donator, and occupation of the donator. Internet listings would be fully searchable.
3) No contributions to individual campaigns allowed from organizations permitted. This includes labor unions, non-profit organizations, political parties, and businesses.
4) No contributions by non-citizens.
5) Spending records of campaign posted on the internet within 10 days of recording the item or service purchased, the amount of the expense, and the reason for the expense.
6) No public funds expended.
7) Candidate’s website required to link to disclosures on websites of organizations supporting the candidate.
8) Political activity by organizations requires full disclosure. Website would show amount of expense, how the money was used (i.e. advertising, get out the vote campaign, etc), candidate or party for who the expenditure was intended to benefit. Again, posting must occur within 10 days of the expense. Links of disclosures to candidate websites required as indicated in #7.
9) No direct or indirect political activity allowed by foreign organizations.
This proposal allows for unrestricted support by US citizens for the candidate of their choice. However, it also requires full disclosure, and easy access to disclosure, so citizens can make an informed judgement as to who may be influencing a candidate.
AND FOR ALL YOU IGNORANT ANTIGUN NRA HATING IDIOTS:
1. The NRA didn’t become a lobbying group until 1974.
2. While whiners complain about mail, guys like me get out the checkbook.
3. The NRA fought against Parker, not Heller. That’s because Parker was filed before Roberts and Alito. We would have lost. The NRA knows how to count to the number nine.
4. The goa has never done a single thing in it’s entire history. It’s the NRA and the SAF that filed all those lawsuits.
5. The “R” in the NRA stands for rifle. Not Republican. Get rid of Reid AFTER taking control of Congress or you’ll be whining about gun control and pleading for the NRA again. As always.
6. The antigunners hate the NRA just as much as some freepers. That explains the mentality of some freepers.
7. The media doesn’t know the name of any progun group other than the NRA. That should tell you something but you’re too stupid to understand.
8. The goa is the only gun group that asked the Supreme Court to take the narrow view. So far, they haven’t filed a single lawsuit to take responsibility for their actions. It’s the NRA and the SAF that filed all those lawsuits.
9. Lazy, stupid people always have an excuse not to get involved.
NRA needs change in the front office.
I called and told them so...
Some FReepers can’t distinguish friend from foe.
Some Freepers allow the perfect to be an enemy of the good.
I support the NRA as well as GOA and others.
I recognize they are all my allies in the same struggle.
Thanks STARWISE! And ta hell with the paranoid.
There was so much ambiguity in the NRA “explanation” that who the hell knows? I don't think this sort of backroom deals were ever a part of NRA when Hesston was around. I prefer NRA to be more plain-spoken and just mount a campaign AGAINST a bill rather than try and fool the libs with some subterfuge. On the otherhand, the NRA Poison Pill did seem to work.
For me it was when the nra-ila donated to the murtha campaign. Im in the GOA now.
Join some pro gun org if not the nra. All the membership numbers count, not just the nra’s.
