NRA's trouble=Wayne's Attitude.
Period.
Period.
how so?
So rich people won’t give money to the NRA unless he’s going on $38,000 shopping trips for clothes?
His champagne taste was for his own ego. I think in broad terms, NRA members are everyday people who are concerned about their gun rights. The fancy pants dress up is a turn off. I would be interested to know though how much of their budget is raised through dues vs. big donors.
Nailed it!We need a strong, healthy NRA now more than ever. They're not perfect, but they're rich and influential. The antis are gaining strength every day.
Bump W.L.P Can he be voted out? What are other organizations that are out there?
When you are raising money, you have to look like money. Its as simple as that. There are a lot of other reasons WLP needs to go, but I find this criticism silly.
You really think it requires a quarter of a million dollars worth of clothing to raise money?? From gun owners who dress like gun owners? That's F ing ridiculous
Look at the expense report of any rainmaker, you probably wont like it.
And never mind the rainmakers. Look at how much a lot of high profile non-profits spend to drag in every dollar they actually get to put to work towards their putative goal/agenda. If it costs $100k in suits/whatever to raise $1m, that's a BARGAIN compared to the day in, day out stupefying overhead for most orgs that rely on farmed out call centers and the like. They're lucky to keep $100k out of $1m raised by the people sitting in their shorts making phone calls and sending out mailers.
