[quoting from further down in the opinion piece]Marion Hammer’s NRA Contract Terminated
Bottom line, as of today, I have no employment income and no retirement income.
Later this week (April 26th) I’ll be 85 years old. So much for over 40 years of dedicated service and work for NRA.
Respectfully,
Marion P. Hammer
You will remember that Marion called out Cotton’s EVP search committee in February and earlier in January had called for a search committee to fill the spot.

I can't say whether anything going on here is justified or not, just interesting.

Given that this forum is hosted in a place that Charles pays for and we post here by his grace, it's been difficult to to ask the hard questions.

I feel similarly..
I look forward to sending her a thank you card once the organization is cleaned up. I'm sure her hubris and gloating obscures her ability to appreciate the irony that her actions might actually save the NRA. I'm certain she would appreciate the members thanking her for that . It seems we're past wondering whether she had real basis for her actions, even though I would impugn her motivations in the strongest terms.
From the Ammoland opinion piece above...
It is my hope that the judge will remove all officers and directors who have failed in their fiduciary obligations to NRA members, appoint a Special Master or Receiver to oversee a thorough housecleaning and reorganization of the Association, and appoint a Members’ Committee, made up of candidates recommended by the various state associations, to help guide and direct that reorganization.

Wayne LaPierre, NRA found liable in lawsuit over lavish spending
Wayne LaPierre, NRA found liable in lawsuit over lavish spending
During the trial, state lawyers argued that he dodged financial disclosure requirements while treating the NRA as his personal piggy bank, liberally dipping into its coffers for African safaris and other questionable expenditures.
His lawyer cast the trial as a political witch hunt by James.
LaPierre billed the NRA more than $11 million for private jet flights and spent more than $500,000 on eight trips to the Bahamas over a three-year span, state lawyers said.
He also authorized $135 million in NRA contracts for a vendor whose owners showered him with free trips to the Bahamas, Greece, Dubai and India, as well as access to a 108-foot (33-meter) yacht.
LaPierre claimed he hadn’t realized the travel tickets, hotel stays, meals, yacht access and other luxury perks counted as gifts, and that the private jet flights were necessary for his safety.
But he conceded that he had wrongly expensed private flights for his family and accepted vacations from vendors doing business with the NRA without disclosing them.
Among those who testified at the trial was Oliver North, a one-time NRA president and former National Security Council military aide best known for his central role in the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s. North, who resigned from the NRA in 2019, said he was pushed out after raising allegations of financial irregularities.

"With pride in all that we have accomplished, I am announcing my resignation from the NRA," LaPierre said in the NRA's press release, which was exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. "I’ve been a card-carrying member of this organization for most of my adult life, and I will never stop supporting the NRA and its fight to defend Second Amendment freedom. My passion for our cause burns as deeply as ever."
NRA President Charles Cotton said during the board meeting Friday in Irving, Texas, that he accepted LaPierre’s resignation. LaPierre, 74, cited health reasons as motivation behind the departure.
The resignation will take effect Jan. 31. Andrew Arulanandam, the NRA’s executive and head of general operations, will serve as interim CEO and executive vice president of the NRA.
