IM sent Have you talked to Modern Musket? I don't think he knows that he is going up against him Against is a strong word. And I did know that we are on the same ballot. So are others who are in fact on the same ballot and they are helping me. All good.  Glad to make friends. I have yet to meet him, but several of my friends speak highly of him.
The voting members get 25 votes, so they can surely make room for the two of us. He has a far better shot as he will be get an internal nomination and most voting members discount petition candidates. They see the nomination committee as the word on who to vote for. As I said I am glad to earn it. I am going through my in box making out packets, thanks for all of the support. |

Will you push for the NRA to do more for us in NY? You are not out of line for asking. Of course I will see what can can be done in NY. I am always on the move helping in other states because not a single state is up for grabs as far as I am concerned. I flew to California to help. I have been on the phone to folks in NJ for months who are trying to get their own recall going. I am going to CT in late October to help knock on doors (and campaign where I am needed) and help some of the folks on the ground there. It is safe to say that CT & NY are hot spots. Making friends and making a difference is what I do. I am but one man, but I strive to make a difference. If I can be of use to NY I will be front and center. I do these things on my own and I always will. If I have a business card that says NRA board member that does not mean I get to speak for them. BUT my success in the grassroots will be utilized for success and making a personal connection. If the NRA blesses what I do great, but I go anyways. Several folks from Ohio, one of whom is a NRA Board member, came out to help in the recalls, they did so as citizens. We are cut from the same cloth. As for policy, I will always fight to hold the line and push back when possible. Even when the odds are not good I am still the guy asking the questions. And if it does not go the way I think I should, I will go on my own accord. But if you are there we can go together. I worked with lots of friends last year (NRA, NSSF, MagPul, Republican party, individual politicians, other gun groups in several states, Lobbying/Polticial firms & more lawyers than I cared to). Making plans, relationships and strategy is what I did on our Colorado recall team. I had to earn trust and get stuff done to earn that trust. I/we were still betrayed, as I knew I would be. But others came through and stood with us (very notably the NRA). Getting other people to come along, whether that is you and your buddies, other friends, friends who are NRA members (or board members) or we are out making new friends, I will be doing something. Glad to have help on way, official or not. So no I will not always have an answer but dam if I am not in the fight. |

I wasn't busting your balls, I was looking to see if there was anything I could do to help out. Having been on the front lines - sans NRA help - I know what it's like so I was asking what you were working on to see if I had experience that might be pertinent.

After going through what we did here in CO, I vowed I will NEVER jump on that "deserved" bandwagon again. If we had all banded together when this crap started in CA instead of rolling our eyes and making fun of "those hippies...." No more. We're in this together. Let me know if there's anything I can do. |

The support is great and keeping me gladly busy. Keep them coming ..... please and thank you.
For those who have not looked at my website, I have a Q & A section, some of the media (although someone with a PC said that the links were not working) and my story. www.knight4nra.com The book is coming, but that is another story, and howdy ..... my estemed friend Keith C is working on that. No publishing house would go near it and many were pitched. I hope more than a few of you are coming to an NRA annual meeting soon. Lots of Adult beverages to be had with ya. 
Headed to San Antonio, TX this weekend & on the 20th to UT, all to look members in the eye (and get signatures). |

I will say it this way, the NRA belongs to its members and they should be the only ones who decide who is worthy to serve: You do not need to vote for all 25 board of director seats. In fact, fewer votes on the ballot will increase your preferred candidates chances of election. Many are deserving, but you get to choose who represents you. Take the time to learn who you are voting for. What do you know? Is the short bio enough or can you find more about them. |
