NRA Board election

Of course we should care and of course we should actively oppose stupid and unconstitutional laws whenever and wherever we can. The State and National ballot box is an important vehicle to accomplish this. So is where we donate our $. Still don't see any reason not to cast a ballot for the NRA directors.

Guess ill have to actually go through and read my snail mail. I am a life member too.I need some info on the board options though. Like many here i don't keep up since La Pierre crap came out. I certainly don't want to vote in those that support him.

I get that. Life NRA members are stuck. I doubt it even matters who you voye for. Pete Brownell was president of the board and the got rid of him. He could not get Wayne out. I have not seen the ballot because I left the NRA but I bet old Wayne has it stacked in his favor.
 
... Very few have actually put forth a name. ...

Maybe, as in my case, there is nobody to recommend.

Of course you can always write me in. I guarantee that you wouldn't be disappointed in my positions -- and I promise it'd be a hoot to observe!
 
I am thinking that I may be too late to have started a WRITE in campaign for Oliver North, Ted Nugent, and some of the others that would like to get rid of Wayne. IF we start now, we may have enough to get these people back on the NRA board next year.

They want name, City, & State on the WRITE-IN Nominations form. Duck Duck Go search gives me this:

Oliver North - San Antonio TX
Ted Nugent - Redford, MI
Pete Brownell - Grinnell, Iowa

I am writing them in on my ballot.

I like where you are going. I do believe you will have to defund the NRA to get Wayne out and by then it will be financially bankrupt and hence useless. He's stacked croneys in there for years. Wayne has basically ruined the whole thing IMO. But also remember I'm not a member anymore and will not be until they change for the better. I do hope for the sake of the life members that Wayne is ousted.
 
I'm not arguing with you, but the NRA historically is devoted to passing on the American tradition of citizen marksmanship. That's really what the whole organization was about. Lobbying is an add-on to the mission. A good add-on, but still an add-on. One might say that the only reason the Army was able to teach you how to shoot is that in the years between the various great wars--Civil, WWI and WWII, great soldiers like Whelen, Hatcher, and others were keeping shooting knowledge alive, and continuing to build it up and spread it to the young men of the nation. And the reason we have such a great history of military marksmanship, such as our heroic Marines at Belleau Wood, is largely attributable to NRA programs.

Lobbying for gun rights is a lot easier when the people have been exposed to guns in real life. I personally think the NRA's education and training wing is by far its most important service to the country.

All the training in the world won't do any good when they are paving the to road to ruin for the antis.

Got impatient waiting for this thread to develop a bit more so I started searching the internet for recommendations from well known people and organizations. Sure enough, some of these folks did have recommendations to try to restore a bit of sanity to the NRA . I particularly liked https://patriotgunnews.com/2020/02/...jeff-knox-lists-his-picks-for-votes-no-votes/
There were other sites from various magazines, manufacturers and activists. I am up to 20 names now and calling it quits. Will mail in my ballot Monday.
I realize a lot of the folks on the ballot are current board members up for reelection so not much can change, but "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness".

Thank you for finding this.

What are your 20 names?
 
Despite all the rhetoric above, does anybody have any recommendations on whom to vote for. I don't want anymore Joaquin Jacksons on the board.

They're on my (secret) ballot! Lol. Seriously, four came from this forum. Robinson plus three write ins. Most of the rest came from the website in my earlier post and were recommendations from Jeff Knox. https://patriotgunnews.com/2020/02/...-jeff-knox-lists-his-picks-for-votes-no-votes. I liked his site because he took the time to include who NOT to vote for and to explain his choices a bit. I picked up a couple more from several other sites. I looked at LTC Robert K. Brown from Soldier of Fortune magazine and Rob Pincus from Ammoland. Maybe a couple of others. This was enough for me as I also subscribe to the notion of "bullet" voting. I'm not going to post my actual final choices. There was a consensus NOT to vote for Charles Cotton.
