he had a buddy swear him in, while that maybe legal, its also BS. 

Trust me, he could give a rats ass rather you can carry nation wide.  He has always been about himself.

Like it or not, people like nugent scare away more people then they bring in.

Good thing you are in the Republic of Kalifornia, so it doesn't matter one way or the other!

He is going to be at the NRA Convention, and has a meet & greet, speech, seminar, type thing Sunday May 16, at 12:30, at the Convention Center, the admission is FREE to NRA members.

Did the NRA pay him to be there? I don't know. I do know I can't afford to get tickets to see Sarah Palin. $600 and up. However, the Freedom Concert tickets with Hannity, Gingrich, Ollie North, and Charlie Daniels, Marine Honor Guard Tribute, start at $35.

FWIW, I waived any and all speaking fees for the Second Amendment March (and yes, I do occasionally get paid to speak). I also turned down the Second Amendment March's offer to pay for my airfare. I did take them up on a free hotel room, though!

Michael,

You are a CLASS ACT!!! And of course you should be paid to share your knowledge and experience, but this is more grass roots, and I'm sure Uncle Ted wants Rockstar money...

Hopefully Nugent's manager is the ignorant one here, otherwise that officially ends my watching his television programs...

We spend a lot of time and energy with taking politicos to the woodshed when they don't walk the walk, perhaps we should look within and find the new leaders.

Nugent spoke for the NRA because he's on the board.

Cheers,
Scott

I would say something here, but m58 has already said everything I would have. Peons simply don't have the authority to say "Yeah, sure he'll be there for free!". That whole notion is a bit silly...

Even Peons aren't stupid enough to not recognize that a March on the Capital isn't a big deal, and they do have the responsibility to tell their bosses...

The March thought it was important enough to add it into their website FAQs...

If  Nugent doesnt know about it, I'd be suprised... Its not a meeting of the Podunk Rod and Gun Club we are talking about here...

Look, ,I'm going to wade into this thing, and probably piss some folks off (gee, what a refreshing change ;)). Still, here's the the deal. When I was in school in DC, I was a fairly serious pro-choice organizer (NRA too, but there were only about 3 of us in DC so it wasn't much to brag about). In 1989, or 1990, I forget which, there was a similar march on DC to protest the Webster case that rolled back a woman's right to choose (or murder her infant in the womb if you prefer, its not the issue here). Tens of thousands were expected to, and did, show up to march. If you were anyone in the pro-choice community, you wanted to be there. Until it came to the  Hollywood celebrities..... :-\. Part of my gig was to round up folks not just to speak, but to be at meet and greets in hotels to give an "atta girl" to the volunteers. These folks were all pro-Roe v Wade, until it cost them time. We offered airfare and a room at the Willard (best Hotel in DC, right on the mall), but no fee. Amazing how many folks said no. It was amazing (though sadly not surprising) to hear the politley worded "Nos". Still I couldn't help thinking, "You say you are for this issue and a whole lot of folks who make a tenth what you do are paying out of pocket to be here. Yet you can't can't show up without an appearance fee when I'm offering a $600  a night hotel room and airfare for you to show up at a cocktail party"? Get off my obstacle Private Pyle! >:( Not judging the Nuge one way or the other, and I don't care whether he speaks or not. But, I will be watching to see whether he shows up. Until then, the jury is out and I will make no judgements.

FQ13,

Thanks for your insight on how these things work from an insider's perspective. Perhaps I will pass my final judgement until we see if he shows up or speaks. I guess it will be a good litmus test for the Nuge....

Regards,
Scott
