[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 273688, member: 600"] This was on MSN. Looks like you aren't the only people leaving. Eighth NRA Board Member Quits Since May Amid Involvement in Multiple Lawsuits Former Oklahoma congressman Dan Boren has resigned his seat on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the gun-rights group announced Friday evening. Boren, who was first elected to the U.S. Congress in 2004, had been ensnared in some of the NRA's legal disputes during a period of unprecedented internal turmoil at the organization, related to an ongoing financial and governance scandal. Boren's is the eighth such resignation from the board since May. In addition to leaving the board, Boren is also reportedly forfeiting his NRA membership. News of the resignations was first reported by the [I]Associated Press[/I], citing a resignation letter which referenced the NRA's "mounting troubles." Mr. Boren resigned in the face of an ethics complaint, which I filed, that cites troubling communications and serious allegations linking him to suspected extortion against the NRA and billing fraud by the NRA's former vendor, Ackerman McQueen," NRA board member Tom King told [I]Newsweek[/I] in a written statement. "Under these circumstances, this news is not surprising." Up until recently, Ackerman enjoyed a productive and noteworthy relationship with the NRA, spanning nearly four decades, as its multipurpose PR firm. Boren has served as NRA director since 2008, and after his time in Congress took up employment as the head of economic development for the Chickasaw Nation, another major Ackerman client. [/QUOTE]
