Voting in the NRA Election < Spread The Word!!

[4T5GUY]

OK I’ve got my ballot filled out with just the four.

To be honest I haven’t voted in NRA elections since I voted for “Chuck,” the first time. I admit that I don’t really read the Rifleman anymore. (Obviously I wouldn’t have even known there was a ballot in the recent one.) I’ve tried to tell them to save some money and don’t send me the magazine. NOPE.

Don’t get me wrong I’m still reading the Rifleman but they are from the ‘60’s - early ‘70’s. A friend of mine loaned me banker boxes full of them with no late fee upon return.

Done and done.

Same here. was waiting for something like this before sending in my ballot......

 

[stansdds]

My ballot goes into the mail this morning!

 

[47knuckle]

Good. My ballot went in the mail yesterday.
I also called a friend who had asked me for suggestions on who to vote for.

Hope this works out well for the 4 of you, and our NRA

MR Knox makes serious sense!--

Glad I waited before sending my ballot in.

Blast it! I've been waiting for information regarding "something's rotten in the NRA", and information on how (if possible) to ghange it! But, somehow the ballot got in the shredding pile, and is gone! I remember years ago when some members...the only name I remember was John Wooters...iirc... and it seemed to make a difference. Now, unfortunately, I can only sit back and watch the war!

Putting mine in tonight. Need a shake up to get on mission.

Where were the members of the Board speaking out about the corruption, fiduciary crimes, LaPierre's megalomania, and the outrageous salaries paid to insiders and outsiders for the past 30 years?

Where were the members of the Board not playing along with the corruption speaking out?

Why did members, even after knowing about the continual corruption, continue to send in money?

It's like going to the refrigerator, pulling out a jug of milk, discovering it's spoiled, then putting it back into the refrigerator and expecting it to get better in a couple of weeks.

No thanks.

 

[ladder13]

I have not sent a single penny since the revelations. I will start up again if/when these four are elected to the Board and I see the ship correcting course.

Mr Knox,
Thank you Sir for this post, Have been a NRA member since 1973 and an endowment member for 20 years. Have to be honest but have not voted in an election for many years due to the corrupt ineffectiveness of the NRA dealing with 2nd Amendment Rights, seemed few if any “ had what it takes” to return the NRA to its Traditional Role. Ballot is marked for the 4 of you and goes in the mail today.
Thank you again.

No thanks.

So, what will you do?
Go to the refrigerator, pull out a jug of milk, discover it's spoiled, throw it away, and expect a new jug of milk to magically appear?
Do something.

I'm no longer a member and won't be again until all the house cleaning is complete. The Board was just as culpable as WLP in his corruption, and that included spending millions of our money defending WLP. Outside of ejecting WLP with a golden parachute, I've seen nothing that shows any actual change has occurred. I'll keep watching, but in the meantime, my donations go to groups like GOA, SAF, and FPC who actually get things done to protect the 2A.

So if only four are worth voting for, what EXACTLY is the problem with Rick Ector from Michigan?

I know him and must be completely blind because I'm not seeing what your claiming, in him, which is why I'm asking for specific details.

I'm doing so publicly to avoid anything shady as I've asked others to vote for him.

Read it again. Jeff did not say only four are worth voting for.
It appears to me that Rick Ector will easily be reelected. The point in voting for only the four PETITION nominees is to be sure they get elected. Your vote is strengthened that way.
As Jeff said above:

You can vote for up to 25 candidates, but you don't have to vote for all 25. Bullet voting for just the four of us increases the weight of your votes and increases the odds that the four of us will be elected. Due to his name recognition as the owner of Gunsite Academy, Buz Mills always gets enough votes to easily win a seat. He and Ronnie Barrett will be among the top vote-getters in this election, so he doesn't need our help or your vote to win a seat, though including a vote for Buz doesn't hurt us. What does hurt is if you vote for 20 or 25 candidates, even if you include the four of us. Those extra votes serve to bolster the votes of low-information NRA voters who just vote for the Nominating Committee candidates.
To give your votes the most weight, only vote for the four reform candidates. If you personally know any of the other candidates and are convinced that they've seen the light and won't continue to support the cabal that's been driving the Association down the drain, it's your choice to include them, but don't vote for people you don't know, and keep your selections to a minimum.

The ultimate crime and real betrayal of the membership in all this was not 3000 dollar suits, or private jets to the Bahamas. The loss of reputation and consequently, effectiveness advocating for the 2nd Amendment has resulted in harm that may never be overcome. Our most virulent enemies have gotten more than could they have ever imagined or even hoped.

Do something.

I will do something. I'll not play the "Let's give them money" to pretend to revive a corpse and I'll continue my support of GOA and the 2nd Amendment Foundation.

 

[CajunBass]

I was going to just toss the ballot but you can be sure I’ll send it in now with four votes marked.

Thanks Mr. Knox.

 

[Grayfox]

Can someone explain to me just why the NRA needs 75 people on its BoD? That seems like a huge waste of time and effort to me in order to get everybody to agree on anything.
Or is it just easier to hide that bad apple in a bigger barrel?

As Jeff said above:

I saw the line saying bullet voting for the four of us .......... Ir looked to me as saying only vote for the four of us.

Sorry, I misunderstood what he said.

The Four for Reform are Phil Journey, Rocky Marshall, Dennis Fusaro, and me, Jeff Knox.
We're asking NRA members to mark your ballots for just the four of us and no one else, as all of the other candidates are either incumbents (who have allowed the corruption to flourish) or were selected by the establishment's Nominating Committee.

My ballot is filled out exactly as requested and on its way. Thank you for all your efforts!
