I agree and I am hoping that he will post his recommendations for this election.
NRA election coming up
- Thread starter somorris
- Start date
I think........
BoD membership must be an 'honorary' position for many people, who want to be identified with the NRA but don't want to do any work. Like the guy you get teamed up with in Laboratory Finals.

I am a little confused with the content of the recommendations of who to vote for, and who to vote against.
In one statement, the NRA 2.0 candidates want to bring the NRA back to training and competitions, but in another statement, want to remove 2 of the known, active, competitors from the BoD!
Most of the candidates forming NRA 2.0 are not competitors. Most of the current BoD are not competitors. Perhaps that is why members that are competitors feel like abandoned step-children!

Most of the BOD is just as corrupt as WLP was. They were the ones looking the other way and kept him in power for so long. 
Change is definitely needed. But they keep us in the dark and we don't know who to vote for and who to kick out.
Jeff Knox offered good guidance last time. He needs to come forward again and post here.
I consider severely reducing the size of the board a priority.

Is Phillip Journey running for election?
Are the "2.0 Reformers" wanting the NRA to stop lobbying in Washington and stop filing lawsuits against anti-2A laws and regulations?
The BoD needs to communicate directly to the members through its website and by emails on a monthly basis what the organization leadership is doing.

They do update us monthly in the magazines. In the past, I think it has mostly been smoke and mirrors. I am hopeful things are rapidly changing.

NRA Election

You may remember his insighful post and surveys from last year on the NRA election.

NRA Board Election 2025 Endorsements: Future of NRA is in Members' Hands
There you have it. I agree with Jeff Knox. Unlike Mr. Haan, I believe those who sat by for years and let the NRA get in the mess it is should step aside and let new Board members have the opportunity to fix our organization. No disrespect meant for Mr. Haan. Thank you so much for the link to Jeff Knox's article, lkabug.
Jeff Knox frequently starts his attack on his fellow Board members with "This is not some sort of personal vendetta." and launches on an attack full of ridiculous claims . Of course it is a personal vendetta. He's been on a crusade to get revenge against NRA and certain board members ever since he and others were not elected to the NRA Board by the voters over 25 years ago.
Most of what Jeff Knox says is distorted, inaccurate, innuendo, speculative and in some cases even ridiculous. This is why the voters gave him and his cronies the boot in the late 90's.
He claims that NRA has been a failure for the past 20 years. Where is the evidence? NRA spent over $60 million to help get Donald Trump elected in 2016 and now we have a pro-Second Amendment majority in the Supreme Court. Was that a failure? NRA helped elect numerous successful pro-gun candidates in federal, state and local elections over the past 20 years. NRA helped pass numerous pro-gun laws. Where is the failure?
Knox is acting like a democrat propagandist. He blames board members for nonexistant "failures over the past 20 years". Its all just gaslighting, bloviating, fear mongering.
One of Knox's more ridiculous statements was his suggestion that the NRA should have fired its attorneys right in the middle of the New York court case! Yes, during the actual negotiations to conclude the case against NRA, Jeff Knox supported firing NRA's attorneys! What was his reason? To save NRA money in legal fees!!!
And what would have happened to the NRA if it had actually fired its attorneys? It would have had to hire new attorneys at a great cost to the NRA to have new attorneys come up to speed. Unless maybe Jeff was figuring that NRA should have gone into court nekkid as a jaybird, before God and everybody, without any attorney at all?
And now Jeff Knox has the temerity to post his ridiculous attack on board members who opposed firing NRA's attorneys during the actual court proceedings. He actually expects you to not see through this nonsense.
Jeff Knox is just a bitter old man, desperately seeking revenge for events that happened a quarter century ago.

SethHaan, regarding your post #28 in this thread:
I'm very pro NRA and am a Benefactor Member. I'm also friends with an NRA Board Member. It's odd how everyone you have on your list to vote for is on my DO NOT vote for list.
You said "WE". Are you one of the people you posted for us to vote for?
Anyway, you're as entitled to your opinion as I am to my opinion, but nobody on your list is getting my vote.

^^^^
Would you please tell us about why not those people and why you choose others?
Specifics are what many of us are looking for.
Thanks

I just got my ballot today and it will be a few days before I get my notes sorted out. I'll be glad to share who I'll be voting for. Who you, or SethHaan, vote for is your business.
I'll be voting to clean house. The NRA needs many many new faces. I'll say that anyone who was buddies with WLP will not be on my list.
I believe the NRA will bounce back and be a force to be reckoned with once again. Every vote matters, choose wisely!

Mr. Haan earlier in this thread a poster requested that you list the reasons why he (or we) should vote for the people you have listed on your list.
You have not bothered to answer that request but have taken time to attack Mr. Knox and call him a "bitter old man".
Mr. Knox took the time to come on this forum last year and explain his point and the point of those he endorsed. It seems to have worked as those individuals were elected to the Board.
I understand why you come on here putting forth your list but you do so with no substance to go along with it. Just we were there when things went bad and know what to do to fix it.
I would inquire if you now know what to do to fix it where were you when it all went down hill?
I will pass on your list but thanks for taking the time to come on here and address this "bitter old man".

Well, no word from Jeff Knox.....
...maybe he will tune in when the election gets nearer. I'll reserve more comments until later.

Waiting on Jeff Knox before marking my ballot. If he can't close the deal, I'll go it myself.
