 With the pending NRA Board Vote, AR15.Com is endorsing Joseph DeBergalis for re-election. From "Black Powder to the Black Rifle" he's been fighting for us all. For those who have had the time to meet and speak with Joe, you know that he is well focused and constantly doing amazing work on our behalf. He has also functioned as this site's contact to everything happening with the NRA and ensuring your voice is heard. Joe has served as the Chairman of the NRA's Education & Training Committee, Vice-Chairman of Action Shooting and member of the Executive, Finance, Legislative Affairs, Law Enforcement and Sport Shooting committees. Joe is also an NRA-ILA's Jay Littlefield "Volunteer of the Year," Inaugural inductee of the NRA-ILA's Election Volunteer Coordinator Hall of Fame, and a Staunch Defender of the Second Amendment throughout our nation. Ballots are currently shipping in the February edition of your NRA magazine of choice for any Life member, or five year or more consecutive Annual NRA member. If you have not yet received your issue, it should be arriving any day. Make sure to take the time and review all the candidates and vote! |

To head off any potential question. This has been an extremely busy time and we have not had a chance to look at every candidate up for election to the board. I highly suggest that you look into each and every candidate and vote for those you feel best serve your interests as well as the firearm community as a whole. We have a couple candidates with ties to AR15.Com, including our own Timothy Knight, who was a major part in the Colorado recalls.
Finally, our votes matter, so make sure to take the time to vote. I think the majority of folks here would agree that for these elections you will want to focus on the smaller named guys who matter to us the most. Keep your vote count short and ensure you give the votes to the guys who do not have the big names. Those who are more recognizable will get their votes from plenty of people. This does not mean you should not vote for them, but consider giving more power to your vote if you are considering the "little guys." Best of luck to all the Candidates up for this year's election to the board. Let's make sure we continue to help the right people and keep black rifles at the front of the political fight! |

I dealt with Joe around the time of his first go around for a slot on the board.
He helped me get my life membership, and was a really good guy both on and offline. Joe can count on my vote again.

I care about what each candidate stands for...and many of them are not significant advocates for the sporting rifle community. Several of them are but will face a significant battle getting elected. Voting for only those candidates gives those people a better chance, as has been noted in any number of threads here about this election. But this is Joe's thread and he is clearly deserving of this community's votes. |

Once again, there are 35 candidates and you have to vote for 25. All have credentials to qualify one way or another otherwise they would not be in such an election. Whether or not Joe's credentials or the credentials of others mean squat to you all the candidates not just Joe are capable of holding the position. Furthermore, this game is not in any way about advocates for the sporting rifle community. It's all about preserving The United States Constitution specifically The Second Amendment. Perhaps you should read NRA Bylaws. I do my homework prior to voting in any election just as I have always done before and after becoming a NRA Life Member in 1994. And like all previous such elections it was a very close call between many of the numerous candidates. All deserve a round of applause unless you want to sit with your arms folded like a bitter buffoon. |

In fact, if you are trying to help underdog candidates, voting for just them is to their advantage, which is why you see many people here indicating that they have only voted for 3 or 4 candidates. I pretty much disagree with most of the rest of your arrogant BS, including what this thread is about, but I'm out. The only reason I responded again was to correct the misinformation that appears above in red. Good luck Joe. You have my vote. |

No so fast ByLaw illiterate timmy...On page A...What part of "Voting members will be asked to vote for a total of 25 nominees" don't you understand? 25 positions requires 25 votes. I could care less how many candidates others voted for, that's their business. The NRA asked me to vote for 25, Obviously the NRA did not mandate me to vote for 25 but they asked nice...Capice? Furthermore the Arrogant BS award goes to the individual who does not give squat about credentials all while lap dogging the credentials of the candidates he supports. Your initial baseless, asinine, unwarranted response to me was, "Are you serious?" I am confident you know the answer. Quote HistoryQuoted:
