When Joe DeBergalis (DirectAction) was first put on a ballot for NRA Board, AR15.Com threw it's support behind him. We met, talked, and found him to not just be a great representative for ARFCOM, but one of the most dedicated to the Black Rifle community itself. Since that day, Joe has become an influential person in the NRA, promoting shooting sports, 3 gun events, and firearm rights.

AR15.Com endorses Joe and hopes that all our voting members take the time to ensure he is re-elected and able to continue the work he is doing for all of us. As an active member here, he is always available to answer questions and address concerns in our NRA Forum. Spread the word, get Joe D. re-elected!

I'll get carpel tunnel trying to list all of the ways Joe has worked to further our 2A rights and support our Warriors. Joe is very, very deserving of our votes.

Got my vote. There is no better person to represent the EBR community than Joe. He is truly one of us.

Absolutely!

This is a great point. Your vote is "worth" more, the fewer candidates you vote for.

Because of, like, math... and science... and stuff.



(some people call it vote dilution)

Has my vote

Remember too that the voting is “weighted.” If you vote for all 25 of your available candidates, your vote for Joe is diluted against the other votes. Best to select 1, 2, 3 or 5 so the votes truly carry weight. ETA - "Weighted" simply means that if you vote for 25 candidates, all start with the same number of votes (25) and each is then even. If you only vote for 1, 2, 3 or 5 for instance, then those each have one vote whereas the rest of the pack does not. Restricting your voting then adds more weight to the candidates you've selected.

which issue of American Rifleman will the ballot be in?
I'm horribly backed up on my magazine reading and don't want to miss it
