Title: The NFOA-PAF is facing an unplanned expense, can you help us meet that need?
Post by: AAllen on December 02, 2014, 11:42:23 AM
Well I was hoping to give everyone a break until after the New Year but the PAF has been informed by Accountability and Disclosure that one of the Donations we received (back in 2013) is disallowed. So we need to return those funds or forward them to the NFOA. Since the PAF spent all of the donations we had on hand to get good Senators elected that means we need to raise $500 quickly so we can take care of this issue.

 We are also planning another banquet for early 2015 and can use some starter capital to put that on and as we have seen there are nationally attempts to take away your rights at the ballot box. These are issues the PAF has been designed to take on while getting candidates elected that will support and defend your rights.

 If you can please make a donation today so we pay this unplanned expense and build for our next battle.

The NFOA-PAF made significant strides this last election and we need to keep the momentum going.

95 views and if half of those people would donate $5 each, we would be about there.

In all fairness, I have viewed this at least 5 times myself to watch the progress!

I plan on donating & I have been trying to think of a creative way to make the most impact....

How about a contest called....."I can't think of anything beyond what I did prior to the election"....SO......

I will match the next 4 respondents to this forum post who are willing to donate $25 each....for a total combined donation of $200!

BINGO!  I will deposit my $100 tonight!  We need to get some billionaire donors like the other side has!   I appreciate everyone stepping up so close to christmas!  Without active members we cannot achieve much....

Like Andy touched on, if we were to face a ballot initiative like they just did in Washington or are going to in Nevada, we need the PAF to already be established & ready to go in good standing.  It would literally be our last line of defense to inform the general public about the falsehoods of a background check/registration ballot initiative.

Maybe pass the hat, and all loose change goes in.  That will add up quick.

As I touched on earlier, we have got to get the War Chest ready for anything the Antis can throw at us.

Thank you to everyone that has stepped up and made a donation.  I was away from the computer for over a day and come back to find you have more than covered what is needed right now.  We need to keep the fund growing, it will need $1,000-$1,500 as starter cash to put on the banquet (need to make deposits and purchase auction items).


Again thanks to everyone for stepping up this quickly, I have a call out to the treasurer from the campaign that made the error to verify the intent of the money to go to the NFOA so hopefully I will be able to get a check to Rod soon.

I will not be able to be at the breakfast Saturday (going to see my Daughter's choir perform) but if someone decides to pass the hat for spare change Jeremy knows how to get the money into the PAF's account and can gather it for us.

Just to let everyone know the unplanned expense, after talking with the concerned party, is being donated to the NFOA.  So later this week I will be getting a check to Rod for $500 from the PAF.

Very Nice!  Ribeye Steaks for everyone courtesy of the PAF!  Andy you are alright!

Thanks Patrick & everyone else who contributed!    Any rough ideas on possible banquet details?
