out. and pro-nra bloggers entered a complaint, that i don t know if i will fill it out, it is a waste of time, there is no discussion or debate in the process. it is simply about rubber stamping about what the nominating committee has already done. and ultimately it is a way the board and the paid executive officers that are chosen by the board to keep themselves and people loyal to them in power. and this is the way this guy did i say his name right? yes. that is the way he got on the board, he runs one of these gun manufacturers, he runs the people who profit from the bushmaster, the weapon that can kill so well. and he couldn t get elected. we have a picture up there. i want people to take a good look at it. leave it up there a while. i want this merchant of downtown to be stared at by a national audience as long as possible. he couldn t get on any other way except the rigged system.
patricia clark, you tracked her down, she works in the health care business in southern connecticut. you got her on the phone. how did that conversation go? what did you ask her? i asked her if she was in the program, a teacher, she said yes, i said you re a board member. she said yes, she said who is this, i said i m frank smyth, i asked her if she was on the nominating committee. you asked her if she knew anybody that suffered in that newtown o well, i asked her, if she knew anybody affected she stopped me there before i can answer a question. she says it was a hard time for me, i m not interested in giving an interview at this time. i wanted to ask her, she may know someone, but how close she may be or not to people who were killed. it should be a very, very hard time for an nra official
