Thanks, Everyone On The Internet.).<br /><br />NRA sells life memberships. The sane way I'd handle that, if I was them, was investing the proceeds in an endowment to provide Continuing Income.<br /><br />Does the NRA have an endowment like that? If so, how big is it?<br /><br />If it does, and it's of any substantial size, that further reduces the "relative value" of any individual donation.<br /><br />(I wouldn't want the endowment to get Too Big, on the grounds that membership-independent organizations can get un-moored, but a goodly sized one isn't bad.)Sigivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152366541957466049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-37146989546636591502011-11-23T11:29:33.299-06:002011-11-23T11:29:33.299-06:00Where can I get a gig that I get most of the budge...Where can I get a gig that I get most of the budget for my salary?Robert Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475193874676131196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-58522309212284190792011-11-23T11:16:00.324-06:002011-11-23T11:16:00.324-06:00Why do they so hate the fact that industries are d...Why do they so hate the fact that industries are donating to the cause. I would say they are free to do the same. They could get revenue from an industry that doesn't make guns. How Jo Ann Fabrics? Of course Jo Ann Fabrics would have to realize the loss of over 4 million members, up to 13 million who think their members of the NRA! <br /><br />The last three men I had sign back up, were all convinced they were members, right up until I proved they were not. <br /><br />They have lost the battles, now the war. We are beating them so badly, we do not have accept any surrender, it wouldn't be civil. Their mindset is off kilter! They don't even know it's over.Dannythemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989960286856430952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-51145672560115559972011-11-23T11:04:35.206-06:002011-11-23T11:04:35.206-06:00Percentages?
