As a reminder, NRATV personalities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.am.com\/our-team\/?id=cam-edwards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cam Edward<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.am.com\/our-team\/?id=ginny-simone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ginny Simone<\/a> are Ack-Mac employees&nbsp; while others like Dana Loesch are independent contractors.<\/p>\n<p>While many of us have long wanted Ack-Mac gone or have, at the minimum, wanted a competitive RFP (request for proposal) search for an ad firm, this is a bit of a surprise to see Ack-Mac just walking away. It could mean that they see the NRA as a diminishing source of revenue and are fleeing like rats from a sinking ship. Alternatively, it could be a recognition by Ack-Mac of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2019\/05\/an-insight-into-thinking-of-william.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the rise of William Brewer III<\/a> and his attempt to be the one stop shop for both legal and PR work for the NRA.
