Not surprising that a 50,000 member group screams so loud as to actually get noticed.

The Brady Bunch will receive stimulus cash for “educational purposes” just before the election.

[Ritemind]

Excellent.

I’m not so sure this is a desperation move. I thnk this is a dangerous time for the left and a list like this has a lot of value for forces trying to reach sympathetic voters on the left. It’s simply a good time to sell.

The Brady Campaign: badly outnumbered and outgunned.

[Deagle]

This can only be a negative for the Brady group. I see pro-gun groups obtaining this list and using it to good use.
Of course there are other not so law-abiding groups that may obtain this list and use it for nefarious uses. I see nothing but bad use for the uses of this group of people.

Unfortunately, that is what happens when you look for monetary gain from your membership.

[TigersEye]

I hope none of their members gets mad and goes postal about it. ;^)

Mailing list rentals usually have restrictions on their use. Even if a pro-gun group used a straw renter, that party could get in big trouble if the list were used for other than its intended purpose.

In some cases, the group selling the list is in charge of the mailing as well (after doing things like weeding out duplicates, and omitting people on do not mail lists, etc.)

Who would want to be associated with a hate group like Brady??? I sure wouldn’t.

[Deagle]

I’m sure that you are probably right... I was thinking about those that get the list through nefarious sources...they always do.

I am not really sure that many of those would not put those lists to good use...but maybe I’m wrong (for legal reasons).

Do you really think criminals would be interested in the names and addresses of wealthy liberals who don't have guns?

Why,whatever would they do with that info?

[Deagle]

Heh...

With so few members, what did they get? A couple of hundred bucks?

[El Gato]

what makes you think THEY don't have guns... or at least their private or publicly funded guards have them?

It's the little people's guns they want grabbed.

[Texas resident]

The brady campaign is an organization dedicated to eliminating a certain weapon, not about punishing those who use those weapons. What they don’t understand is that if a certain weapon is eliminated, the bad guys will just pick up another weapon. It’s like a dog chasing it’s tail. They will have to campaign against machetes, tire irons, pocket knives, 2X4’s, hammers, ice picks and on and on. Seriously misguided bunch of children.

Warms the cockles of me heart, it does.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

My how the “mighty” have fallen! It has been about 20 years since ABC NEWS considered her their “Person of the Week”.

[lack-of-trust]

a mailing list of 50,000 probably means less than 5,000 actual dues paying members.

Washington staffers, think tank members, media members all on the list without sending a penny to Brady.

Second Amendment Sisters was formed to rally against the Million Mom March back on Mother's Day 2000. We are now 10 years old and in good shape with a membership that continues to grow. It is very heartening indeed to see this news. SAS would never sell it's membership list--not even those who 's memberships have expired and were not renewed.
