TED NUGENT To Sing National Anthem At NRA Convention

April 15, 2005

Ted Nugent is scheduled to sing the National Anthem to open the proceedings at the National Rifle Association's annual convention this weekend in Houston.

The event is expected to draw about 60,000 people including Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who will be the convention's keynote speaker tomorrow, reports the Associated Press.

There's a session tomorrow called "God, Guns and Rock-n-Roll," featuring Nugent.

The NRA's executive vice president says the location for the convention is a good one because, "It's the heartland of the country." He says, "They love us."

A spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says the NRA's success is because they "have a ton of money and they do a very good job with their propaganda."

The NRA's national membership stands at about about 4 million people, which is an all-time high.
