Stone Mountain Park contains a carving of President of the Confederate States Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee and General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson.
The next president of the National Rifle Association is the chairwoman of Stone Mountain Memorial Association, the organization that manages the nation's largest monument to the Confederacy.
Media Matters, which first reported on Meadows' link to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, said Meadows is also a board member of the American Conservative Union. "Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for re-election. I’m now informed that will not happen," he said Saturday in a statement read by Richard Childress, the NRA’s first vice president, to attendees of the annual NRA Institute for Legislative Action conference in Indianapolis.
North, who The New York Times reported is an employee of Ackerman McQueen, said he was"concerned" that"allegations of financial improprieties could threaten our nonprofit status."
