She was also accused of paying her credit cards and making personal purchases with the organization's funds. The ACU hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) meeting. Carr is the ex-wife of David Keene, the former chairman of the ACU and current president of the National Rifle Association. Carr faces up to 20 years in prison upon sentencing, scheduled for September 16, 2011.
