(35,454 posts)So next I ask, why the pay? And if she's got a beef down the road will the NRA be subject to a payout. Seems possible a Mr. Pecker's services could come in handy.

(13,583 posts)this image of his hiding under the bed on the 4th of July like some little dog terrified of the fireworks! I know he's more of a legal administrative type, but still! LOL
I did a search to see if I could find any pics of him actually shooting a gun and came up empty. That doesn't mean there are none, but I seriously doubt it.

(17,600 posts)New York or San Fran, maybe.
I guess a short term lease runs a little higher than a normal apartment rent, but still. 13K for about 3 months sounds insane.
HipChick
(25,485 posts)Can you run you 6K per month....

(36,796 posts)The NRA Is Being Sued Over Its Relentless Telemarketing Campaigns
When begging for bucks goes wrong.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-nra-is-being-sued-over-its-relentless-telemarketing-campaigns
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 NRAs 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 thats 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.

(349 posts)Maybe the owner is a senator or congressman who needed a few extra untraceable bucks?

(36,796 posts)The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.
Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.
