Guys,
This has been posted to several internet forums but I thought I should post it here as well. The NAGR claims to be a gun rights group and may well have done some work towards that end, but they're currently running a scam trying to get donations. They're claiming they are prohibited from telling you who they endorse unless you donate money and become a "member". This is a flat out lie and obviously a way for this Dudley Brown, whoever he is, to make money.
It's important we donate to legitimate organizations and not waste our money on shysters like this. Here's the link from Arfcom where I read about it:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1269051_Scam_being_run_by_the_National_Association_for_Gun_Rights.html&page=1And here's the text of the message they're sending out.
Dear Xxxxxx,
I’m in a bind.
It’s illegal for me to tell you which candidates the National Association for Gun Rights PAC supports. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) expressly forbid me from telling you which candidates are so solid on gun rights that I want you to help us help them.
It sounds crazy, I know.
But the anti-gun Obamacrats who run the federal government don’t want gun owners and activists like you and me to be organized going into the 2012 election.
That’s why the IRS/FEC will only let me tell “a restricted class” of “legal members” of the National Association for Gun Rights who they should –– and shouldn’t –– support in the election.
The good news is, I’ve found a loophole around their legal gag, and frankly it’s pretty easy.
All you need to do is chip in at least $5 (or more), and take a positive pro-gun action, and you can then be counted as part of our “legal membership.”
So I've set up a page for you to do just that when you click here.
It’s that easy. Once you’re considered what the bureaucrats call a “legal member of the Organization’s restricted class” I can tell you which candidates to support, and which anti-gunners to oppose.
Are you upset with our government’s attempts to take away your rights?
Are you angry at the way politicians are trashing our God-given liberties and the Constitution?
Do you get tired of hearing the election season lies politicians tell about their supposed “support” of your Constitutional right to keep and bear arms?
And it is very important you act today because election season is the best time to hold politicians accountable. Nothing is more important to a politician than getting elected or re-elected.
That’s why the politicians and their bureaucratic allies put up as many road blocks as possible to make it hard for individuals and groups of like-minded gun activists to influence elections.
Due to the onerous, free speech-violating elections laws, the National Association for Gun Rights and our members are severely limited in what we can and can’t do during the election season.
I formed a Political Action Committee (PAC) for the National Association for Gun Rights to do exactly what needs to be done to hold politicians accountable without worrying about getting hauled into an IRS audit or a federal courtroom.
Through the National Association for Gun Rights PAC, we can now expressly advocate for the election –– or defeat –– of politicians across the country.
That’s why I’m asking you to do me a personal favor –– and a favor for the cause we share by taking the simple step of clicking HERE and taking the simple actions.
I know I don’t have to tell you that the coming election is pivotal for our gun rights. The Obama administration is desperate to pay off the anti-gunners, and I need to be able to mobilize as many gun owners as possible in the coming election.
That’s why I started the National Association for Gun Rights PAC in the first place, so gun owners like you and me can have a direct impact on the elections that are so vital to our gun rights.
With the specter of the United Nations’ “Small Arms Treaty” gun ban looming on the horizon, and President Obama’s pledge to pursue gun control “under the radar,” now is NOT the time for gun owners to sit on the sidelines.
I need gun owners and activists just like you to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me against the anti-gunners in both parties.
To do that, I need to be able to communicate directly with you through our Political Action Committee. I can’t do that unless you’re a “legal member of the Organization's restricted class” of National Association for Gun Rights membership.
The National Association for Gun Rights PAC is already involved in important Federal races, but I simply can’t tell you which ones.
I can’t risk the legal battle that would surely follow.
The good news is, I’ve found an easy loophole that will keep you connected with the National Association for Gun Rights PAC, and keep you on the frontlines of the most important battles in the coming election.
All you need to do is chip in at least $5, right now, so you can be counted as part of our “legal membership.”
It’s that easy. Once you’re considered a “legal member of the Organization’s restricted class” I can tell you which candidates to support, and which anti-gunners to oppose.
It will only take a few moments. I hope I can count on you to become a “legal member of the Organization’s restricted class” so I can speak directly to you about which candidates gun owners should support, and which ones we need to fight.
For Freedom,
