I do not disagree with your position here, but at the same time we (at least I) don't know the terms of his contact and the expense allowances that the Board may have built into that agreement - and those allowances may have been included and active for quite some time. Such is very common in big CEO contracts. My own take is that those with power who want Lapierre gone have publicized such expenses to generate outrage among the membership and, if so, it is working.

I'm just trying to get my name off their mail and email list. Even if I hit the "unsubscribe" button it seems to put their system into overdrive.

Whatever the flavor, I never touch the stuff. I've heard that it makes old guys go and hide somewhere when their posts are challenged.

If he was truly dedicated to the cause of the NRA he would have stepped down long ago. His actions have revealed the true person that he is. Just another self serving individual who's true cause is the dollar. All top officers should also resign as they have been complice in his actions. GW

You do not seem to want to describe what Hilton did or phrased wrong I too have read a lot about the situation and cannot imagine having to lie or hedge a comment to make WLP look bad.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

What Hilton did - as one example - used some examples of LaPierre's travels and expenditures to paint a picture of misuse or theft of funds; which the NRA Board has not claimed - no matter how selfish or inappropriate those expenditures seem to be among us common folk in the NRA: Had Lapierre done that - he would be gone already. There are other aspects of Hilton's presentation that were of the same slant. I don't wish to inaccurately describe Hilton's paint job - would rather you watched it yourself from a knowing and balanced point of view. That particular piece came across as very unfair and misleading - to me.

The left has been out to kill the NRA for years. So, a few carefully leaked stories, alittle internal dissension cause by new board members, a little butthurt over a worthless stock accessory, and WE do it for them.

Yep, sounds about right.

What did the NRA do as far as Heller? The last I knew, the NRA had a video up supporting Red Flag Laws-it was posted just in the last day or two, possibly on this thread.

The fact that he will not speaks volumes about him and his regards for both the NRA and it's members.7mm
He cannot step down, he would have huge legal bills to pay out of his own funds. He is certainly facing civil action and possibly criminal charges. As it stands now NRA will pay.

Do some research on what the duties are of a BoD and get back with us. Here's a hint--it's not to be the public face of an organization and go around shaking hands because you're famous.
