FROM: Marion P. Hammer
Executive Director
United Sportsmen of Florida
NRA Past President
For years YETI Coolers have been a hot item for sportsmen at the Friends of NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction events around the country.
These Foundation events raise money to support youth programs and educational programs nationwide. The youth of America who benefit from these programs are the future hunters, hikers, fishermen/women, bikers, campers, wildlife photographers, mountain climbers, sportsmen/women and conservationists who will protect our natural resources and recreational lands.
Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why.
They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation.
That certainly isn't sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy
outdoor recreational and educational programs.
The NRA Foundation is 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization.
In this day and age, information is power. We thought you needed this information.

Well, this is the good ol' US of A, right.
Don't like something................vote with your feet. Which apparently is what Yeti, or their corporate owners, has/have decided to do in regards to supporting the NRA Foundation.
Now................it's our turn to vote with our wallets....................not hard for me, as I've yet to purchase a Yeti product............ Doubt I ever will now.

Yup, everyone should rebel and take their coolers down to the range and blast holes in them and [bleep]-can any of their products bought in the past, refusing any further dealings with the company!
Would really show them....

I can think of other brands that are close or better coolers for less money (simply because they aren’t charging for the name tag) that I would rather support.
Orca
Rtic
Ozark Trail (wal mart’s Brand)
Grizzly
Magellan
Cabelas
Others I’m missing?

They want to distance themselves from the NRA, but are too spineless to say so publicly.
I think they were hoping that no gun owners would notice.
Most likely no one would have noticed it, except the NRA called them out on it.
People/companies like that are worse than the ones who go public with their stand.
If no one had ever noticed, next thing you know they will be taking the money they made off hunters who bought their product and donating it to anti gun organizations.

Mike Because they used to support the NRA.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Phil Better yet: every Yeti cooler owner should fill that chest full of cow schitt and mail it to their Austin headquarters.

Yeti is HUGE! They are being pressured by lots of knockoffs. I saw their big mugs in Thailand for under $5 and they had pallets of them.
Yeti has been big at SHOT for the Last couple years especially. I wonder how they will deal with that.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Phil I dunno about taking out what I have... but we won't buy more. Most folks ignore the fact that this is EXACTLY how you get someones attention, numbers of folks refusing to do business with them. Its a shame most are too lazy to even WANT to attempt to do some GOOD against idiots. I suspect most people have been brainwashed by the liberal thought train unfortunately.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
