Members Make Case to Intervene in New York Action Against NRA

 

The motion, filed by NRA members Frank Tait and Mario Aguirre, seeks to ensure that the membership is not held accountable for the actions of association officers and “to protect their rights as individuals and as NRA members under the U.S. and New York constitutions as well as applicable New York statutes.” [More]

Letitia James has her interests and Wayne LaPierre has his. So who's looking out for the interests of members caught in the middle?

Misdirected

 There don’t seem to good odds of a director explaining to the court how re-electing corrupt officers (after their corruption has been public knowledge for years), not even asking them if the charges were true, not investigating, purging directors who did ask, etc., was action in “good faith,” reasonably believed to be in NRA’s best interests, that fairly entitles them to reimbursement by the corporation to which they owed a fiduciary duty. “Why didn’t you even question LaPierre?” “why did you shout down Journey?” can’t be answered with “if I did, the Nominating Committee wouldn’t re-nominate me” or “Marion Hammer would get nasty to me.” But without those answers, that $5 million fund cannot be used to indemnify anyone.

This could turn into a real can of legal worms.

Because Your Opinion Guides Me

Via email:

  Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this issue, and I hope you will continue to contact my office with any future comments or questions. I’m committed to being transparent and accountable with all Arizonans... 

That's the last paragraph in a letter to an Arizona constituent objecting to Chipman confirmation from Mark Kelly's office -- it would have been nice if the staffer cared enough to pay attention and include the right boilerplate response instead of their form letter on prescription drugs for seniors.

I wonder which old lady asking about her meds got the gun response...

[More]

And Baker didn't tell him to go **** himself and then report him instead?

No job is worth your dignity.  Speak your mind when appropriate. Never brown-nose. Refuse to be pressured into doing anything you know is wrong. Tolerate no bullying. The worst they can do to you is fire you. On a scale of 1 to 10, compared to a real-life challenge, that barely registers. 

Your soul comes first.

I'm just not getting why so many people are evidently incapable of making doing the right thing their default position.
