For the life of me, I can not understand why those with the authority do not have the balls to fix it. Maybe its not as broken as some have been led to believe, or maybe its been fixed. Maybe too much mail and phone calls Everyone knows they sell hysteria.

Maybe too much mail and phone calls Maybe you are right, but if so, they have really, truly sucked at working on their membership relationship. They seem to have not a care in the world about their members' perception (rightly or wrongly) of WLP and the BoD. They won't even discuss it. So, down they go. Dumber than a box of rocks if the stories about Wayne's priorities are not true.

We are not gleefull-- we are concerned that the NRA-- that we support, and have for years, just seems to give in to the anti's all the time--- Why the hell do we not attack them constantly? Lets take the fight to them, make them defend thier position. Every time we give in, they see that as a weakness. I have been a paying member for years, I will continue to be. I will no longer send money to the ILA, or the NRA. They must fix this!!!

They won't even discuss it. That's a lie. Statements have been issued; but how would a gun hating commie know that right?

To me the NRA is like a church.
People give money to further the mission. It's ideology, not the man. They want to move forward. When the leader thinks the money is his, and it's he who they worship, things go wrong. If he suddenly thinks those giving money want him to earn 50 or 100 times their earnings, The ship is on its way to the bottom.
People may respect what has been done under Wayne, but you average guy earning $45k isn't going to throw an extra Benjamin in the pot for Wayne to earn $3mil plus a ton of expen$e$.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

IndyCA35, I think we are not gleeful with the NRA going down. We are pissed at the way our money has been wasted. We don’t want the NRA gone, we want it “fixed”. There a lot of money sitting on the sidelines until it is fixed. For the life of me, I can not understand why those with the authority do not have the balls to fix it. Point taken. I would prefer them to address these issues more forthrightly. For instance, "We have received complaints about about internal politics, WLP's compensation, the fight with our ad agency, blah blah blah...Here's what we truly think about that..." Instead there is silence. Maybe the views expressed here (which I share in part) are not shared by enough NRA members to rise to the level we would like.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Wayne Laaaa Perrier is doing what he is GOOD AT. Laàaa Perrier' is a FUND razor. He is the highest paid con man that I am aware of.
Laaaa Perrier every other month tells those on his spam list,
"Oooowww! Scary bad ol Hillary is going to get your guns and eat your children! Send me mone.... I mean, send the NRA more money so we can protect you from her and Chucky cheese shuuumer!! Be afraid...be veeerrry afraid!!! and of Course I will kick G. Northams butt like Chuck Norris IF YOU JUST SEND MORE $$$**!!!! We just couldn't get involved with our headquarters home town because of unemployed, non essential nra workers...But we need YOUR $$$$. WE NEEEEED YOUR HELP!
HOW ABOUT THE NRA DO SOMETHING HONORABLE AND FIRE THAT CON MAN SWINDLER. HOW ABOUT LAAA PERRIER' PITCH IN AND GIVE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF HIS INCOME TO RESTORE THOSE VITAL POSITIONS INSTEAD OF BEGGING MIDDLE CLASS WHO WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK TO PAY OFF THEIR OWN DEBTS AND BILL. PERHAPS HE AND MR T CAN AGREE TO NOT VIOLATE 1. GOD GIVEN RIGHTS TO WEAPONS OWNERSHIP AND 2. COMPLETE DUE PROCESS FIRST AND FOREMOST!

It's up to them if they want to survive. Nailed it. ^^^^^ Me too. I just got the NRA Mag . It had Wayne with a meme, " It's time to fight " , with a serious look on his face while wearing a suit and tie that is likely a cost of several thousand dollars. There is something wrong with that.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

At this point the NRA is simply the KWRA (Keep Wayne Rich Association). This isn't going to turn around before November.
You do know that you can send your contributions directly to the conservative politician of your choice don't you?
There is really no need for Wayne to be a middleman.

Wayne will probably go down with the ship, Capt Ahab style...
Ole Ahab got so target fixated and tangled up with that whale, Mobe-Dick, he lost it all. Ahab got sucked under by the whale he managed to harpoon and kill.
The whale in this scenario, is the dwindling NRA coffers, evidently in a death spiral, bled for so many years by WLP and his cronies. All this while we were continually coerced into giving just a little bit more.
Well, as an Endowment member, I'm done until they clean house. I don't even round up at MidwayUSA any longer, just check the "no thank you" box and move on.
DF Whereis the board of the NRA? I have to believe that there is more than enough unhappiness in the rank and file to make a change with Wayne. But nothing happens. Wayne is no longer the problem, those that don’t replace him are the problem. Ditto on MidwayUSA roundup, I don’t give a penny there, either. It is my understanding that the Board is window dressing, there for PR, to energize the membership into giving more and more money. It should be run like a corp, the elected Board with the power to hire the CEO, set the direction for the company. Seems WLP and his cronies ARE the power, the Board just there to assist the hierarchy. WLP is a long time leader. Is that not too unlike Putin and Xi...? Just asking... If I'm wrong, correct me. DF

Springfield Missouri, September 5 is the place and date for the annual NRA meeting. Maybe we should all go and let Wayne know it's time to go. He may be surrounded by folks that tell him everyone loves him and is happy with the job he does. Wayne has done a good job in the past but so did Benedict Arnold before he turned against us. Judas Iscariot was a trusted disciple and was Jesus' money holder for years and then went bad. Power and GREED corrupt. I will give Wayne credit, he is smart. He has fixed the organization to his benefit and seems to be unassailable. Maybe he could go take over Venezuela or Haiti, they like thieving dictators.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
