NRA BOD Endorsements

Several of you have asked for mine. I have none at the moment but am working on a revised questionnaire to define my criteria for a "thumbs up."

In the meantime, WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M sends his:

They all say the right things to questions on the 2A and claim to be stalwarts of gun rights, but how will those who seek your approval answer these questions intended to ferret out the status quo, establishment, and obsequious Board seekers best personified by Tom King and Scott Bach? How will Anthony Colandro answer them? 1.) Do you approve of the continued employment of Josh Powell and his salary of $700,000? (Or whatever it is.) 2.) If not, what do you intend to do to change this situation? 3.) What reforms do you think are necessary to put the NRA back into financial order and regain the trust and general backing of the gun community? 4.) Will you publicly disagree with NRA leadership if you thought they were doing something not in the best interests of the membership and preserving the Second Amendment? 5.) Do you think that legal immigration must be checked/restricted? 6.) Do you agree that the below listed salaries of NRA senior managers are fair given the current downdraft in revenue caused by ongoing controversies? Would you support a salary cut of 40% for these managers with the money saved put into the 2020 presidential election? 7.) Do you approve of the stripping of committee assignments from the following Board Members who were critical of the CEO? 8.) Define "Independent Board Member". 9.) Will you seek to reduce costs associated with Board meetings by housing Board members in rooms that cost no more than $135 a night? 10.) Ex SEAL Eric Frohardt was reportedly paid over $525,000 as the director of NRA Education and Training in 2018. Do you agree with this salary? If not, will you seek to reduce it immediately to a amount commensurate with the industry?

Pretty sure this would not be legal, as it would constitute a massive financial transaction from a 501(c)(4) to the ILA, a registered lobby.
