What RMGO does?

[alxone]

Like any political lobby, it takes money to make changes. For one, the staff needs paid. And how effective can you be unless you have a LOT of people supporting you, so you have to solicit membership to A) pay the bills and B) convince politicians that you are a force to be reckoned with. $200K isn't much, but if you think about how well known RMGO is and their role in gun politics in Colorado then I think $200K is an impressive amount of money for that kind of exposure.

you are correct ,thats not a lot and that is a lot of exposure , or as some would say thats a good ban for the buck .

If you have ever worked in non profit (and I have) then you know that it really is all about money, it's what keeps things moving. I don't agree with everything Dudley and his group have to say but I agree with enough of it to support RMGO - the same way I support politicians who aren't 100% on my page. If I only supported groups that agreed 100% with me then I would end up supporting nobody!

yes i have done a ton of non profit work (maybe thats why im so broke ) and yes it takes money to get a lot of it done . at the same time in all the rmgo emails dudley has only asked for money , not time or some sort of physical donation beyond cash!!!!really if thats the extent that one can be a part of rmgo count me out !

Pick your battles - and for me fighting gun control is worth the fight. I hate a lot of what the NRA does and how they are run, but I'll support them because they have a massive voice in gun legislation. RMGO is a much smaller player, but still has a voice.

i do and your welcome to join me in changing public opinion by helping clean the mess of other shooters .
if the nra or rmgo asked me to help by putting out flyers or making call to inform people about gun rights (without asking them for money) im down .
but the doom , sky is falling tactics dont make me want to help in the least bit .
