I remember when all members were allowed to vote, then the crooks took over & limited who could vote so they could maintain control & bleed the NRA.

It's easy to kick a dog when it's down. But I do think it's a mistake to completely discount Wayne's contributions to preserving the Second Amendment. Ask anyone who has ever lobbied or worked in a congressional office, Wayne and the NRA are feared in D.C.
Despite him having more outfits than Herman Goring, and blowing money like a drunk sailor on shore leave, he and the NRA have accomplished a great deal for all of us. Our wise forum boss has been an example to all of us in how to conduct oneself in a horrible situation. Many here were overcome with frustrations over what was going on in their beloved organization—and who can blame them—but using this forum as a platform to boil over and scald the NRA would have been a grave mistake.
I muted my office phone and closed the doors today. And spent 20 minutes carefully marking my ballot in accordance Jeff's instructions. My hat is off to him for his public service to all of us. There is no more thankless job than board membership of any organization.
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems (or as good either!). I have no doubt the NRA will right the ship and be a formidable advocate for all of us again.

Mailing our family ballots tomorrow. My wife, son, daughter and me are all life members and we voted this way. Good luck

Thanks for this information. My ballot is marked with 4 names and a yes on the ballot initiative. Let's hope for positive change and momentum. Will be mailed in the morning.

Jeff.
Thanks brother for giving us some "hope" that the NRA will rebound. I was convinced that we were history. First time I have voted. Always knew before that the "good ol boys" had it rigged to keep themselves in power.

My thanks to Handejector and JeffKnox for bringing this subject to my attention. I would not have bothered to vote for people on the ballot that were part of an organization which has been disappointing me for awhile, I was going to discontinue my membership last October but between this forum and my local shooting club encouraging NRA membership I renewed it.
I will now send in my vote tomorrow morning, marked as suggested. Thanks to all who have posted and I wish all of us "Good Luck".

This is the first time in the few decades that I've been a life member that anybody running for elected office with the NRA actually took the time and effort to reach out and make a case for support.
Both my wife (she's a life member, too!) and I are with you!
Thank You!

I am old enough to remember, as a fairly new NRA member, the Cincinnati Revolt, led by Neal Knox. A change then was much needed, and the membership accomplished that change. Over the years, the NRA has had it's share of ups and downs. In spite of all the downs, I updated my membership level as funds permitted. I am now, and have been for at least the past 15 years, a Benefactor member.
I am glad to see WP gone. Change is needed. I have always supported the NRA through it's ups and downs. I will continue to support the NRA and do my part to effect change. What gun rights organization does the media always blast? What gun rights organization do all the anti-gun politicians bad mouth? The NRA. The other organizations are very much appreciated for the work they do for our rights. But it is still the NRA that politicians fear, and for good reason.
I marked by ballot as suggested by Jeff and mailed it last week. Change can only take effect from grass roots efforts. Thank you, Jeff Knox, for your efforts. I wish you well.

I just read an article about the NRA in G&A. It concludes that the NRA board needs to be drastically reduced in size and it needs someone to come in and reorganize it. I agree.
Mr. Knox, thankyou for taking time to explain what is currently happening with the NRA. I, like many others here, had ignored the ballot in the current Rifleman mag. My ballot is now in the mailbox waiting to be picked up by the carrier. I know this is a small thing I can do but hopefully my ballot along with many others can help you and the other reformers to be the catalyst for much needed positive change in the NRA.
And thank you Lee for being persistant in supporting the NRA and keeping the forum members informed and preventing the negative comments. It's always better to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
Regards, Dan

I rarely vote in these elections but did today as recommended. I hope and pray the organization can survive this.

Just voted as recommended. Will go out in Monday's mail.
Done, I was not planning to vote this year as in years past.
I have been disappointed with the boards failure to maintain an ethical culture and lack of holding the executives accountable on behalf of the membership.
They are the biggest dog we have in the fight so abandoning them did not feel right.
I hope you guys win Jeff and you do what board members are supposed to do. Set the strategy, oversee management and protect the interests of the membership not the executive leaderships personal gain.
Good luck to you we need the change.

Been a Life member for many years and this was my first time voting. I voted as recommended by Mr. Knox and added Will Cain.
Glad I saw this thread, or I would have tossed the ballot in the trash. Thanks to all for your reform efforts.

I usually just toss the ballot, and honestly I thought I had. But somehow it missed the trash can, there it was alongside. I voted as you requested, I sincerely wish you success in this endeavor. God knows we need it.
I am a disillusioned Life member, I haven't given them a dime in years, but can't bring myself to quit. I've said for years WLP was no good, and as long as he was in charge I wouldn't donate a cent. Now, maybe I will. Time will tell.
