minderasr Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It's that time of year again. Those who are eligible have or will soon receive their ballots. I'd like to use this thread to discuss our options so we can elect the right people to Director positions. I realize the NRA is not everyone's cup of tea. If you are among this group, please look elsewhere. My hope is this does not turn into an NRA bash-fest, but an actual discussion to help elect people that will actually fight for our cause. Perhaps working together we can do just that. There are 35 names on the ballot, but you can only select up to 27. Do we focus on one or two individuals, or max out the selection? Or would writing in someone not on the ballot be the best option? I also realize not everyone will have the same candidates on their ballots. So I'll start with a couple of names from my ballot. For example, do we want sports figures/celebrities on the board of Directors? Or would a grass roots style movement pushing unknowns be the better option? Karl Malone. Is he really a good choice? I don't recall seeing him making any pro-2A statements ever. Admittedly I'm not much of a basketball fan nor do I live in Louisiana so perhaps he's outspoken locally? Or is he just eye candy for the sports aficionados? Oliver North. Not sure how I feel about him. Ted Nugent. Definitely outspoken about protecting our freedom. But he's a little...out there. Allen West. I like Mr. West. And I have seen him speak publicly about protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. I would have no problem casting a vote for Allen West. What say you?

Jammersix Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There is no chance that I will re-join the NRA as long as Ted Nugent speaks for you. He will never speak for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Since you're not a member of the NRA, you cannot vote. How is your post helpful here? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) If you wanted to restrict the discussion to NRA members, you posted in the wrong place. My post may help someone realize that Ted Nugent is preventing your membership from growing by at least one, and that voting against him would be good for the NRA.

I don't care for Nugent myself but if his presence in the NRA keeps Dems like you out than perhaps he is more useful than I previously thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a known (and admitted) poacher, and sexual deviant. Why do you want him as leadership of the NRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Not to mention both a draft dodger and a stolen valor guy. He wrote a song about violence against his Old Lady, and he said that the Special Forces community thinks of him as one of them. They don't. Really. He doesn't speak for me. Not ever. But if you're NRA, he speaks for you. Edited January 27, 2019 by Jammersix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minderasr Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Getting back on track... I came across a couple of other candidates we might support in another forum and through some internet searching. I'm not endorsing these candidates (yet). Just putting the information out there. Please VOTE For Anthony Colandro for the 2019 NRA Board of Directors Adam Kraut, Esq. NRA 2018 Board Candidate, Adam Kraut, On “Enemies Within The NRA” ~ VIDEO Adam Kraut Takes a Third Run at an NRA Board Seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a BLM supporter your support of cop killers is something at odds with the NRA as well. https://www.defensemaven.io/bluelivesmatter/news/black-lives-matter-activist-and-cop-killer-supporter-dr-marc-lamont-hill-to-speak-at-east-carolina-xpTvhxkxBkSwoypceYXCBg/ Edited January 27, 2019 by G26S239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then where is the right place? I specifically asked not to turn this into an NRA bash-fest. I was looking for a discussion among voting NRA members, of which you are neither. If you want to be helpful to our cause, and are not happy with one or more of the BODs, then join the NRA and vote them out. Otherwise please start your own thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His actions, persona, and mouth are the problem. He turns off more gun owners than he wins fights for. And that is the reason he shouldn’t be a director. He’s costing the NRA membership and money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
