NRA CUTS DEAL WITH PELOSI, REID TO LIMIT FREE SPEECH
SELLING OFF THE FIRST AMENDMENT
By Matt Cuddy
Yes, the once mighty National Rifle Association, that defender of the Constitution and all things 2nd Amendment just caved in to Nancy Pelosi and her liberal minions, by supporting a “limit” to 1st Amendment free speech rules, due to the specter of the “other” political party running the Democrats and their tax and spend platform right out of Washington.
What it boils down to is this: The Democrats are trying to come up with a new law to respond to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision on campaign finance rules. The NRA had objected to the Democrats’ proposal, but then secured an exemption for themselves from the legislation and have dropped their objection.
The new agreement would exempt organizations that have over one million members, have been in business for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states, and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations, from the disclosure requirements. The NRA, with four million members, would fall into the exempted category and will not oppose the DISCLOSE Act now, according to the Democrats.
So if you are a small organization that just started up to defend freedom, you're screwed. But if you’ve been collecting a large amount of members for decades from the image of Charlton Heston holding a musket, while repeated screwing conservatives, you’ll be safe.
This is just the NRA not wanting competition for itself. If they were really committed to freedom, let alone the second amendment, they should be encouraging more freedom loving, second amendment loving organizations to rise and fight. Instead, they are collaborating with the left to shut out competition.
This rates right up there with Neville Chamberlain's Munich Agreement, or Potsdam. To think an organization that so many freedom loving true Americans trusted would never fold in the face of rabid liberalism, is astounding.
We would like all you readers out there to contact the NRA and voice your opposition of their collusion with the radical left, whose ultimate goal is to take all your rights away, not just the first and second amendments. Call up the NRA at 1-800-672-3888 and demand that they renounce their deal with Pelosi and Reid. Believe me; it’s not too late to get involved in stopping this travesty.
Here are some links to check it out your self. Oh, and I’ve scraped the NRA lifetime member decal off the back window of my van, and have turned in my membership. I hope anyone out there with any balls who’s an NRA member does the same.
