I'm a Golden Eagle member.
I will not renew my Golden Eagle status. They no longer get my yearly tribute. Hell, the only reason I kept it this long was explained in the "NRAAM in Houston" thread and now that the Houston meeting was cancelled, I'll probably be dead before I get a chance to act on those reasons.
Electing Cotton is the straw that breaks the camel's back. It's a huge conflict of interest. It was already a conflict of interest to have a board member on the audit team but electing him president is just a giant middle finger to the whole concept of ethical behavior.
I hope to God that when the organization finally augers into the dirt, the competition, training, educational, and a few other functions spin off into an independent organization. We still need the parts of the NRA that still serve a valid function and haven't been totally corrupted by politics.
