2. The NRA Is Being Sued Over Its Relentless Telemarketing Campaigns

The NRA Is Being Sued Over Its Relentless Telemarketing Campaigns

When begging for bucks goes wrong.

The NRA has employed InfoCision since 2012 under a contract that grants the fundraising company up to 65 percent of the funds it raises on the NRA’s behalf. InfoCision gets between $2.50 and $3.75 for each “completed call” to potential NRA donors, and up to half of the regular payments for new or renewed NRA memberships.
-------------------------------------------

If those high fees are unavoidable, they can also have the effect of obscuring, for a potential donor, exactly where his or her money is going. Many of those speaking with an InfoCision fundraiser, after all, will not know that a majority of their donation is not going to the charity that fundraiser is representing.

comment from a blog - (DU I think)

I had a coworker who was a big time gun owner who kept a gun in every room in the house just in case someone broke in (lots of problems with that idea, may be worth a blog article someday, but that’s what he did). He even went so far as to start buying more guns for each room after a school shooting, like home invasion and mass shooting are correlated somehow. He had let his NRA membership lapse and refused to renew it because he got tired of nonstop requests for donations. To him all the membership did was give the NRA to badger him for more money with phone calls, and direct mailings. If the
organization is as strapped for cash as it appears, those solicitations may have gone way over the top and people are simply tired of being badgered for money and are choosing to let their membership to lapse.

8. Here's a link to the Daily Beast article

https://www.thedailybeast.com/national-rifle-association-fundraising-letter-we-could-shutter-very-soon

The letter came in early March and the message was dire.

The National Rifle Association could shut down “very soon,” according the four-page fundraising letter, signed by the group’s executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre.

He blamed the dire straits on steps Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has taken to pressure banks and insurance companies that do business with the gun rights organization.

“[R]ight now we’re facing an attack that’s unprecedented not just in the history of the NRA, but in the entire history of our country,” the letter began. “And if this attack succeeds, NRA will be forced to shut down forever.”

The threat, LaPierre said, is imminent...

10. Womp Womp!

[Dickster]

11. I haven't belonged to the NRA for 30 years,

but they have resumed calling me asking for money, even though a month ago I told the nice lady who was making the call that it would be a cold day in hell before I gave Wayne LaPierre any of my money. They wanted to give me am American flag signed by LaPierre if I donated $140 bucks. I told her to stuff that flag up LaPierre’s ass.

12. Ummm, this is just a fund raising ploy, source NRA. nt

their beloved NRA spewing lies about liberals taking away their gun rights?

[Thekaspervote]

[keithbvadu2]

22. There are other gun supporter groups. Some that consider NRA to be liberal flamers.
