USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Save The Second (savethe2a.org) is in the final week of collecting signed petition forms to change the attendance policy of NRA Board of Directors Meetings.
If you are a Voting Member of the NRA and you care about your Directors participating and being more accountable, download the form, fill it out and send it in ASAP!
The NRA Bylaws currently have no requirement for attendance at meetings and many Directors rarely attend these important events. When Directors don’t attend, they neglect the duty they signed up for and their responsibility to the Members. Many of the problems facing the NRA and American Gun Owners today might have been avoided had the NRA Required the Elected Directors to Participate.
Save The Second was formed in June of 2019 to represent the voice of concerned American Gun Owners in the wake of serious revelations of dysfunction at the top of the Nation’s oldest and largest Second Amendment advocacy organization: The National Rifle Association.
Save The Second was founded by Anthony Garcia and Ron Carter after a tumultuous NRA Annual Meeting and week’s of allegations, leaks, lawsuits, Liam’s and counterclaims about the problems created by Wayne LaPierre’s leadership and those who are have working closely with him over the past 20+ years, including many NRA Directors and the Ackerman-McQueen PR Firm that is now embroiled in a legal battle with the NRA. All this while the NRA is being investigated by authorities in NY and Washington, DC. Save The Second is working with members, donors, and Directors that want change to help guide the NRA back on track.
Stay tuned for continued updates.
About Save the Second
Save the Second, a non-profit organization, was formed in June of 2019 to represent the concerns of NRA Members, as well as former and potential NRA Members, who believe that the leadership and strategies of the NRA have failed and that the organization needs to be reformed in order to effectively represent American Gun Owners and their concerns. STS has proposed Five Points of Reform at their website savethe2a.org for consideration to improve the NRA.
For more information about Save the Second, The BoD Survey, The Five Points of Reform or other related issues, contact STS Board Member and Media Relations Representative, Rob Pincus at [email protected].
I would like to see the results of the BoD survey, if any. However, petitions to the BoD for any reason is wasted effort. The BoD and the executive officers have not been responsive to the general membership, and not likely will be. Besides, how can it be expected that 76, or now, 77 people to be available at the same time. The entire NRA is now seen as to promote the multiple right infringing Red Flag laws. By the leadership not countering this stance, they are continuing to betray us. It is stupid to have traitors in our midst.… Read more »
We should not have to “petition” the NRA to do the right thing. That we are even here is proof that the wheels fell off the bus a long time ago. Time to stop “ooo”-ing and “ahh”-ing over the latest NRA stupidity and join GOA or some other worthy 2nd Amendment group.
Too little too late. Stop pussyfooting around and dump LaPierre, then you can work on the rest of the problems after you’ve eliminated the source of the infection.
Don’t burn down the building because of a few bad actors. I don’t like the pricey suits and junkets either, but I always try to look at some of the good things they do. I won’t donate a nickel until they get their act in order, but I’ll pay the dues to stay a member. “just my take”
To what address should the petition be sent?
Thanks,,Bill
“*There is no such thing as a director who doesn’t direct.* You’re responsible to make yourself aware of what’s going on. If the board doesn’t know, they’ve breached their duty of care, which is against the law in New York,” where the N.R.A. is chartered. According to Owens, the former I.R.S. official, New York State “could sanction board members, remove board members, disband the board, or close down the organization entirely.”
