I just placed the following information in the local pennysaver (5 Distribution areas). The information will be going to over 72,000 households, the majority of which are not outdoor sportsman.
H.S.U.S Humane Society of United States. The figures below are based on HSUS’s 2013 IRS Form 990, which all non profits have to file. In it, they them- selves reveal their 2012 financial activ- ity. (note: not all expenses listed.) Total revenue; $125.8 million. President/ CEO Wayne Pacelle’s annual com- pensation package: $395,469. Employ- ees: 636 (including 30 lawyers); 7 earn over $200,000; 38 earn over $100,000. Total salaries and benefits: $44.5 million (35% of its total budget). Added to pension plan $2.4 million. Spent on fundraising: $49 million (39% of its total budget). Spent on lobbying: $2.5 million. Grants to pet shelters: $1,028,586 (.8% of its total budget). Total expenses: $120.3 million. Total investments: $177.7 million (publicly traded securities). Total assets: $195.4 million.
I took the information from the Trappers Post and put it where the non- sportsman can see the information. If this results in just one person not donating I feel it is worth the expense. I placed the add in 5 circulations for 2 weeks. My cost was $159.00. I encourage everyone to place an ad in your local paper or pennysaver. If I had placed the ad in just one paper the cost would have been $22.00.
I think its time sportsman fought back against this anti group.
Thanks for looking.

Interesting, I wonder what the NTA's 990 would look like.

rufus I agree with you 100%!! I believe the old days of just ignore the antis is over, esp with technology today and how much bogus information they are spreading. Its a real good possibility today of loosing to the antis especially in this state. I think getting hot headed is def the wrong path, but stuff like you did is great!!
