First, please sign our National Petition to Fire Eric Holder...Second, after you sign our Petition, please help NRA's fight this critical battle by making a contribution of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 or the most generous amount you can afford to NRA Voice of Freedom today. [More]
The first part sounds good on the surface, but what effect will that have on gathering evidence against him, charging him and prosecuting him if he's out of the way and no longer an active target for focus?
Anyway, it's not a "real" petition and it asks for money--Hey, that's exactly what that lying "NRA Winning Team" asshole accused me of doing in his attempt to sabotage my successful one-man drive to remove "collective rights" language from the Federal Register. And who then went on to do exactly what he falsely accused me of doing.
Go figure.
Kind of funny that the folks who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Gunwalker are now using it for fundraising--of course, I also thought it was kind of funny when they made great hay of their leadership in it at the annual meeting--all the while relegating the award ceremony for those who actually have led on this story off premises, out of sight and away from them.
In terms of the donations they're asking for, I have a better idea: If you have the money to throw at self-serving grandstanding like this, why not instead support the guy taking point in this story? Is a buck a month voluntary subscription really too much to ask for all the value you get from all the work he does?

The petition has no legal effect: the money pitch is SOP with this and many other organizations such as Grassfire, etc.
Oh Hell Yes: I am a member of GOA and have been chronically dissatisfied with NRA but I held my nose and joined recently for this very reason. I will contribute.
Now that's pretty funny.
Here in NH, the NRA's John Hohenwarter actively worked to derail legislation that would have provided constitutional carry, a solid Castle Doctrine, and decriminalized legitimate gun use in self-defense. We got a Castle bill -- no thanks to the NRA -- but it was much weaker than it would have been.
It didn't help that Hohenwarter spent his time undermining, insulting and abusing the local grassroots groups. For the effect he has had here, he might as well be working for the Brady Campaign. Hey, maybe he is -- he's a lobbyist, after all, it's not fair to expect integrity.
He had similiar issues in his native Pennsylvania. He's on record in favor of hunting, but not self defense. And this is the NRA lobbyist dude!
I've been told -- not by Hohenwarts -- that NRA's beef with constitutional carry and liberal must-issue is that they prefer shall- or must-issue bills that require training by "NRA Certified" instructors. Cha-chingg.

Maddening is it not?
