I received this from the Tea Party and I am hopping mad! What a whitewash of a bunch of cowards. My reply is at the end.

Subject: Statement From the NRA on H.R. 5175
Statement From The National Rifle
Association On H.R. 5175, The Disclose Act
The National Rifle Association believes that any restrictions on the political speech of Americans are unconstitutional.
In the past, through the courts and in Congress, the NRA has opposed any effort to restrict the rights of its four million members to speak and have their voices heard on behalf of gun owners nationwide.
The NRA's opposition to restrictions on political speech includes its May 26, 2010 letter to Members of Congress expressing strong concerns about H.R. 5175, the DISCLOSE Act. As it stood at the time of that letter, the measure would have undermined or obliterated virtually all of the NRA's right to free political speech and, therefore, jeopardized the Second Amendment rights of every law-abiding American.
The most potent defense of the Second Amendment requires the most adamant exercise of the First Amendment. The NRA stands absolutely obligated to its members to ensure maximum access to the First Amendment, in order to protect and preserve the freedom of the Second Amendment.
The NRA must preserve its ability to speak. It cannot risk a strategy that would deny its rights, for the Second Amendment cannot be defended without them.
Thus, the NRA's first obligation must be to its members and to its most ardent defense of firearms freedom for America's lawful gun owners.
On June 14, 2010, Democratic leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives pledged that H.R. 5175 would be amended to exempt groups like the NRA, that meet certain criteria, from its onerous restrictions on political speech. As a result, and as long as that remains the case, the NRA will not be involved in final consideration of the House bill.
The NRA cannot defend the Second Amendment from the attacks we face in the local, state, federal, international and judicial arenas without the ability to speak. We will not allow ourselves to be silenced while the national news media, politicians and others are allowed to attack us freely.
The NRA will continue to fight for its right to speak out in defense of the Second Amendment. Any efforts to silence the political speech of NRA members will, as has been the case in the past, be met with strong opposition.

Dear Tea Party,
I am offended that you would pass this whitewash of the NRA off to your supporters as truth. I talked with the NRA after this scandal a couple of days ago, and I am on the list of several other political orgs. who send me the news, so I get updates and accurate news. The NRA is covering their a… They made a deal with Pelosi and Reid to back their DISCLOSE Act, and that is a travesty and violation of our first amendment rights of free speech. Plain and simple.
When I called NRA to voice my disgust, I spoke with one of their men. He said like they were only watching out for themselves and not for the conservative viewpoint. The gentleman I spoke with said something to the effect that they didn't want to "go down with the sinking ship." That's what they really think. They are covering their own butts and hoping to last longer making a deal with the devil. They threw everyone else under the bus. As in Hitler's day, the political powers that be will divide and conquer us one group at a time. The NRA cannot stand against them alone, but they think they can survive longer that way. I for one, refuse to go along with it. All conservatives must stand together against all attackers of our first and second amendment rights, not just for one group, but for all.
NRA is no better than AARP, who sold seniors down the road so they could benefit from the healthcare plan. I am disgusted with you that you would send this out as truth. All they really care about is their DUES and their influence and their jobs.
Please send this email to your Tea arty email list so they will know the other side of this.
Thank you,
Jan
