Good run for a great cause

Sorry I can't support WWP, they have been taken over by a different leadership and their anti-gun stance really bothers me, specially after they had no problem taking lots of money we raised for them, as in I personally ran shooting events to raise money for them, they took our money, and then said they want nothing to do with guns.

 

There are many other worthy charities supporting our troops that don't do that

We were disappointed when the Leslie Coleman, PR director for WWP, said they couldn’t come on the show, but that happens. Schedules don’t mesh, things happen, but that’s not uncommon. No big deal. Except that Ms. Coleman said they were declining because we “are related to firearms.”

 

“While we appreciate the interest in having a WWP representative on your show on Veterans Day we are not able to participate in interviews or activities with media/organizations that are related to firearms,” said Ms. Coleman in her email.

 

My emphasis added.

 

It really is reprehensible, seeing as how much the firearms community has done for WWP in the past.

I understand ur frustration with them not supporting our cause but I do support theirs...

My problem is not with them not supporting our cause, my problem is that they took thousands of dollars from gun clubs in NJ alone, plus USPSA, and after that they decided to disavow all relationships with gun related entities. Their leadership was basically taken over.

Anti-gun no can do
