NRA BoD Election Recommendation

[Kestryll]

Hi all,
for those NRA members who will be voting now or shortly for the Board of Directors I'd like to quote Gene here from another thread and add my own request for you to vote for Joel Friedman for the position of Director.

Vote for Friedman, and Gaines. Also note that undervoting is very valuable to make our California votes go further.

-Gene

Mr. Friedman is a current CRPA Board of Directors member and has a long history of supporting and advancing 2A rights in California.
In addition, the more NRA Directors representing and from California the more of a voice California will have in the NRA's direction and future.
Not to mention the more benefit we as both gun owners and Calgunners may well have.

[Kestryll]

There are several fine candidates but the main person we need to vote for is Joel Friedman.

To quote Bill Wiese:

Please understand that Joel Friedman is not just an NRA Board member but a true gunrights advocate that has a wide range of *political* experience. He's a helluva businessman too.

Joel Friedman also is on the board of the New CRPA. Joel works directly w/lobbyists Ed Worley (NRA) and Tom Pedersen (CRPA) and the CA NRA Liaison to the Exec VP, Paul Payne as well as his fellow NRA Board members from CA, Tommy Gaines and Manny Fernandez.

These guys are also Friends Of Calguns. Gene and I have been thru some Interesting Times with these guys.

Vote Joel. If you vote Joel and nothing else, your vote increases.

Quick question: How do NRA members vote? Is there a ballot sent or online? And second, when is the vote? All I seem to get is AR and the usual renewal mailers.

Question;

I don't see Tommy Gaines or Manny Fernandez on the ballot? Do I need to write them in on the back of the ballot?

Also, any thoughts on R. Lee Ermy and Tom Selleck, both from California?

[DasBoost]

If you are eligible to vote, the ballot is in the March edition of whatever NRA magazine you receive.

To be eligible you must be a Life Member or a 5 year member.

Ah, gotcha. I've only signed up for one year so far.

Mr. and Mrs. TPF are sending in their ballots this morning with only one vote cast for Joel Friedman. I will love seeing Tom Selleck, Lee Ermy, and the other celebrities on there, but they are nearly shoe ins. So my votes for them or anyone else diminish Mr. Friedman's vote.

The only other one I was slightly inclined to vote for was Dennis Demille because I know he is a Marine and a hell of a high power shooter.
