Maybe I missed it - but what is the org doing to counter Newsom's proposals?...

All I saw was fight back by sending money... What are they doing with the money?

I've seen this one, The coalition for civil liberites. They had an article in the LA times I think.

They have a facebook page too. You may want to come by and check out. Personally, I don't mind sending them $$ fighting Newsom or any of the anti. However, I don't feel comfortable giving home address, employer ...ect..(which are required by the way) because I don't know what are they gonna do with all that info once the fight is over.

I don't do the FB thing - thanks though.

If they can't be clear on their site - I pass.

YMMV

I haven't but it looks like they are part of the CPRA

[raycm2]

Actually, it looks like they are part of the Firearms Policy Coalition, run by prominent CalGuns membes, IIRC. They say that the info is required by law, which I assume is under 501(c) for some types of charitable orgs.

FPC, lots of Calguns members have had issues with email spamming after 'signing up'.

Always a question donors should feel free to ask of any org.

That's the one, members include CRPA, Pink Pistols, GoC, California Reserve Peace Officers Association, Women Against Gun Control and CGSSA.

Site says:

PAID FOR BY FIREARMS POLICY COALITION SECOND AMENDMENT DEFENSE COMMITTEE

That effort looks like it's being run by FPC (Firearms Policy Coalition). If you trust them, no reason to be wary of signing up. General consensus on the boards is becoming "they don't seem to be effective/can't get a response about specific actions." Of course some others seem to support.

a project of California Rifle & Pistol Association

Indeed a project of CRPA and the more useful of the two being discussed in this thread IMO.

They say that the info is required by law, which I assume is under 501(c) for some types of charitable orgs.

All of these efforts probably fall under some "campaign finance laws" since this is an initiative being put forward for the ballot. The employer and occupation questions are necessary because of the type of fund and the way the funds will be used. As opposed to donations to non-profits, which typically do not require much info at all.

There is also an NRA-PVF (Political Victory Fund) floating around. Same questions about employer. Not sure NRA-PVF is specifically devoted to the gruesome initiative, probably more general.

[homelessdude]

The CRPA is really stepping up in my opinion. I just renewed my membership and sent a little extra to help fight Newsome. I've given to FPC in the past but I couldn't tell you where it went. The NRA, CRPA, Madison Society, GOA, and GOC, are where my money goes now.

I don't know about this one and don't have the time to research it. I wouldn't be surprised to see several "groups" pop-up in opposition to the Initiative and start raising funds.

But I do know that the "Coalition for Civil Liberties" is the group that we (the NRA Members' Councils) are part of. http://www.stoptheammograb.com/

This is where our efforts are going. We are focusing our efforts and not dividing them up and diluting our resources.
