I'll send it up through channels but you should know that us mods are, for this sort of request, powerless. Also, the owners of TGT, AFAIK, would never see your request posted here.Meanwhile, what I am asking for here is for the TGT owners to give us a separate TGT forum to discuss this NRA / LaPierre issue.

The proper way to ask for this (the way to speak directly to the right folks) is to hit the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page, assuming you're using the web interface. Even though I'm helping send up your request, I strongly suggest you do that, too.

The longer the board members do nothing the longer it will take the organization to heal and recover from this going into the public eye and governmental investigations.
This should have been dealt with internally. Digging their heals in is pure stupidity. Now they have to pull a baby calf out of the tar pit with one rope without a horse.
Ha! I've only got 47 years with them.>
Our ONLY power under the "Nominating Committee" regime is to withhold all donations, bequests, renewals, etc, until LaPierre is GONE.
Perhaps, after 50 years NRA, I'll have to go GOA, too.
Sad !

Especially when the membership is told to basically shutup and write a check.How do you deal with something internally when a significant portion of the leadership is part of the problem? This all came to light because they chose to ignore a member's attempt to rectify this issue internally. They never had any intention of dealing with the issue.
Actually, no. That's a big part of the problem. The Board elections are badly rigged, stripping the board of any practical power.The BoD must be able to dictate who's at the top.
...Whoever is in Wayne's job gets to call the shots and the board is structurally divided so as to make opposing him a practical impossibility.

No clue who they are. The main job of field representatives is coordinating fundraising.I believe that each state has NRA representatives; maybe some of you know them?
Actions speak louder than words. The NRA has just become a bunch of words. GOA is doing the action. I jointed GOA this year because of all the NRA mess. Jumped straight to life member. No point in wasting time supporting the right folks once you figure out who the right folks are in my mind.
