I'm a Patron Life Member of the NRA, but I'm not sure if the Board of Directors is strong enough. Who can I vote for that is truly strong, willing to work to make the NRA stronger and not as divided as it is? Should I just write in candidates who have expressed an interest in fiscal management?

I've read the Forum's position on the NRA, and I'm not bashing. I am concerned and I want to make the NRA stronger. Ignoring a illness doesn't make it go away. Treatment does.

ASNF.

Unfortunately the ballot gives little info on how the potential Board Member really feels about the 2A.
In my world I try to vote for a candidate that believes in the 2A as written, but that gets harder every year with watered down, wishy washy members who really don't believe that.
Right now, Mark Robinson out of Greensboro NC, is my only sure pick. I may only vote for him. ymmv

Edit: Col Alan West also, strong 2A supporter.

Hello! I believe that the OP has posted an appropriate question. 6518John has cited my recommendation of Jeff Hague from the Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club in Delaware. I was surprised to find that, according to the ballot and bio page in the American Rifleman, that Jeff has withdrawn his name from consideration. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to confirm this.

I have had dealings with both Ted Carter and Anthony Colandro who are both up for re-election. I have been in touch with them both since the Virginia rally, since it was reported that day that the NRA's state director for Virginia stated that the NRA was open to compromise on the pending legislation. Both men were shocked to hear that statement and promised to look into that claim. As a Benefactor Life member, I called for that state director's termination. In my dealings with both Anthony and Ted, I have found them both to be men of their word.

What my club has learned (having had members serve as NRA President and Board members), submitting a full ballot reduces the chances of a preferred candidate winning. Bullet ballots are more effective, even though it seems like you are throwing away votes! Both Anthony and Ted are on Facebook, and can be contacted privately with questions and concerns via that platform.

There is another thread on this very subject. In addition to the candidates mentioned above, I will join other Massachusetts forum members in strongly recommending Jim Wallace, executive director of our Gun Owners Action League (GOAL{dot/org}). For years he's successfully fought for our rights in Boston, and he'll be just the kind of director we need in these troubled times.
 
Thanks for the inputs so far. I'll be voting to reflect your wisdom. I'm also going to write in Rob Pincus. He seemed genuinely interested in getting the NRA to a strong financial position. Being a retired federal financial analyst (20 years in the DC area) I think it's imperative we (NRA) members make sure the money is spent wisely.
 
I received mine earlier this week and have it ready to go now. I read through all the bios and ranked them 1-10, and whether they would be new Board members or were already on the Board. I thought with some new blood, maybe the NRA could get back on track before it is too late. I have seen quite a few folks who are really disillusioned with the NRA and are resigning their membership. Not good. We need to try to fix the problems instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water.
 
I have yet to receive mine, but maybe in today's mail? I am also in the state of South New York... errrrr... "Virginia".
 
No vote for me this year:mad:
They don't deliver mail where I live and we pick it up at the PO.
My neighbors got their Rifleman but not me. I'm so sick of them putting my mail in someone else's box that I could scream.

Probably some Granny who tossed it in the trash as evil.

I did a "bullet vote" for Jim Wallace, GOAL Executive Director. Jim is a very passionate 2A supporter and has done a good job with the MA state org in spite of few legislative supporters.
 
If You have a particular candidate or candidates You want elected, only vote for them. Don't vote the full slate as You reduce Their chances of being elected. Steve Schreiner of CO is an excellent choice as a pro 2A as written candidate.
