NRA election coming up

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".

When I posted the list of candidates to vote for, I also provided a link to an article that explained the reasons to vote for these listed candidates. That link is:

NRA 2025 Board Election: Vote For These Strong & Effective Leaders

Regarding your question about what I propose to do to fix things, I say this: Things have already been fixed long ago by the NRA Board.

Back in 2018 the NRA discovered solid evidence of the improper financial transactions and immediately stopped them. Since then the candidates on my list NRA participated in the restructuring of NRA's business and financial operations, implementing policies and accounting controls to safeguard NRA's finances, as mentioned in the above linked content.

Since the restructuring of NRA's business and financial operations to this day, there have been no further improper financial transactions. The court documents show that all improper transactions ceased long before the NY AG initiated her lawsuit against NRA in 2020. The court documents also show that no NRA board members knew about the fraudulent transactions until they were discovered by the NRA board's investigators and stopped.

So, anyone telling you otherwise is deliberately lying to you.

Regarding Jeff Knox's candidates I have this to say:

I strongly oppose those candidates because they are not independent thinkers. They blindly follow the leadership of six angry old men seeking revenge for events that occurred going back twenty five years.

Those candidates unthinkingly accepted the ridiculous attempt to fire NRA's attorneys while the New York Attorney General's lawsuit against NRA was still being litigated in court! And how was the NRA to defend itself in court without attorneys? They had no plan! And what was the reason for wanting to fire NRA's attorneys? Because they wanted to save money!

And then they childishly accused those who opposed firing NRA's attorneys of trying to destroy the NRA.

These candidates are gullible, easily manipulated opportunists who will follow deeply flawed leaders blindly. These people are a menace to NRA. I recommend that you do not vote for them.

The list of who has been recommended to vote for is in the link above that I also added in my post above.

Scroll down and you will see a link to click under:

Who The Candidates Are That Want To Save The NRA

Then you will have a link to click under:

Who You Shouldn't Vote For!

Then you will have a link to click under:

Who Voted To Destroy The NRA

The first link will have 28 candidates who have been recommended to vote for if you want to get the NRA back on track. The next 2 links are who you might not want to vote for.

You can only vote for 28 candidates! Only 26 of the recommended candidates are listed on the front ballot page where you mark a circle. Turn the ballot over and write in:

1) Charles Brown Dayton, OH

2) Paul Babaz Atlanta, GA

This will give you your 28. Read about them in the link at the top of the post. It's past time to clean house.

Here's what the ballot would look like front and back:





I am giving recommendations of who to vote for that I believe will lead the NRA back into the right direction. You can choose to vote for whomever you like.

PS: The NRA Board member I know said to vote Yes to the Amendment.

In the February American Rifleman there are ads for two different slates of reform candidates. How does the average voting member, like myself, sort them out?

Obviously your vote is your vote so you need to decide.

With that said if you recall Jeff Knox from last year and his reform group there is a link above to am Ammoland article providing his candidates of choice.

In the magazine they are the larger group, 28 I believe, listed under NRA 2.0 Pledge Takers. They are also a different group than who Mr. Knox advocates to elect.

The other group was mentioned by the poster Seth Hann, above, who listed the names and said the group is working to make NRA better. When sked how it appears he forgot how to type.

So basically there are two groups advertising in the NRA magazines and a 3rd group headed up by Mr. Knox.

Confusing, I know.
I would read the Ammoland info and the comments above and make your choice.

I have posted up above (dated 1-27-25) in my name Sethhaan. The post explains about one of the groups of candidates shown in your American Rifleman magazine. The above post also has a link to an good article on Ammoland by NRA President Bob Barr where he describes the candidates as well.



Thanks
 
I understand your desire to maintain the status quote, but most of us here that have been paying any attention to our organization realize that the Board we have has allowed us to get in the mess we are in now. Talk is cheap, but actions speak louder than words. Our membership has fallen off a cliff and the clout of our organization has diminished. I don't mean this as a personal attack on anyone and appreciate your time on the Board, but it is time to step aside and give other people a chance to right the ship. They may be unsuccessful, but we have already seen the results from current leadership.
 
Well
I have filled out my Ballot. Thanks to many of you who spoke up and voiced your concerns and put forth good arguments Pros and Cons of course! I took the time to research all of the perspective candidates and chose by my own informed opinions. I urge all members to do this as you may find some pretty good info on some of the candidates. I'm not providing a screenshot of my vote because its just that .... my vote. Not making anything of those who listed names or pic's of votes. You are free to do so of course!

Well, nobody that I am supporting wants to maintain the status quo. The candidates that I am supporting have made the major reforms to protect NRA's finances. These reforms were endorsed recently by the New York Judge, who has acknowledged that NRA's finances are in order in his final judgement. The most recent reforms made by the StrongNra.com candidates that I am supporting are the appointment of new Audit, Ethics and Finance committees that are totally committed to making sure that the NRA has the strongest financial safeguards, the most realistic budgets and robust new ethical standards for conduct for all employees and board members. The ship is on the right path, the finances are sound and NRA is moving forward.

Hi Seth,

If you can go to the January 29 issue of Ammoland.com, Jeff Knox has a good review of all the candidates along with his voting suggestions.

Best Wishes, Mark Shuell.

Not sure if you have been reading the entire thread but Seth doesn't have good things to say about Mr. Knox and recommends not voting for any of those candidates.
 
To Mr Haan.

Thank you for responding to my questions in the earlier post.

What is your roll currently in regard to the NRA?

I Google your name, as listed here, and get no returns. I don't see your name on the current ballot but I am unsure if you are on the B.O.D or your interest.

You have provided some insider insight so it makes me curious as to where this knowledge was gained. I like to vet the sources of information when it is an important issue, which this clearly is.

Thanks for your response and the info already provided.

This is not the only forum he's spreading his alleged impassioned beliefs on.

I've been following board politics for some time.
 
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a candidate for the NRA Board. I have been endorsed by Jeff Knox in his Ammoland article. Last year I met and spoke with the "Four for Reform" candidates. They are dedicated to making the NRA as best as it can be. I also met many of the Directors who have been on the Board for a long time. The phrase "Asleep on their feet" comes to mind.
 
I have been a Lifer since 1961. Voted in every election. I know the Anti's would like the NRA to go away. But I don't think so. WLP did us dirty. But a new Heston will appear. I will study up on the new candidates before voting this time.
