Why do people in this industry believe that if they donate to the FSC that their donations should be their own private "legal fund ?"
In any other industry, corporations financially support the trade industry group that represents their interests AND they hire their own lawyers to handle their own legal problems.
The FSC is not in existence to provide a defense to every adult company that gets into trouble nor should they. Each company has to take responsibility for themselves and actually provide for their own defense.
The FSC will step up and file amicus curiae briefs when necessary on behalf of the industry as a whole. Its myopic to think that "hey I gave $50,000 to the FSC this year, they will keep that money for me in case I need to get a lawyer."
Since Mike is so well versed on this.... please tell me what other industry's trade groups do for their members and how much they spend on various items ???
You cannot claim fiscal mismanagement without knowing what the budget is for an equally situated industry and their trade group. Please provide some facts in comparison before you make unsubstantiated claims. And please don't use a trade group like the NRA that is 10x the size of the FSC. Compare apples to apples.
