[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3409750, member: 9374"] The problem is, if they refuse to implement appropriate changes and appropriate oversight to the use of funds DONATED from members who expect some sort of fiscal responsibility, then they are doomed to fail. All organizations need accountability. If I'm donating my money, I expect my money to be used appropriately. However, when I sign a check to the NRA, the thought that comes in my head (as I'm struggling to pay my bills, yes, quite LITERALLY losing sleep over how I'm going to pay my personal responsibilities) is about Wayne's expensive suits, about all the waste, fraud, cronyism, etc. Same reason I don't give to the Red Cross anymore, either. Sometimes 'charitable organizations' get too big for their britches. As a board member on a 501(c)(3) myself, I know we think very carefully about the appearance of waste and abuse when we approve purchases or expenditures. I personally pay all my own expenses, even when related directly to our organization... just because I don't want there to be [B]any [/B]appearance of impropriety. [/QUOTE]
