If you're an NRA Life, Endowment, Patron, Benefactor or 5 consecutive-year or longer Annual Member of NRA, the ballots for the 2021 Board election are likely in your hands at this time in the tear-out section in the middle of your June/July NRA publication.  

The vast majority of elligible NRA voting members don't bother to vote. There were something like 2.4 million elligible voters in 2020 and about 116,000 ballots were returned.  Pity, especially when there's a large contingent of membership that isn't happy with NRA over the past few years.  Here's your chance.

Don't have time to wade through the Bios, or don't know any of the candidates?  Easy!  

Vote for me!  Craig Swartz, Adel, Iowa.

Craig Swartz for NRA Board 2021

Craig Swartz 2021 NRA Board Candidate Biography


I'm not looking for hunting trips, perks, or swag- just to see to it that our kids and grandkids can continue to enjoy the freedoms and liberties you and I have today.

To make voting simple, and if no one else is asking for your vote or you don't know any of the candidates, why vote for them?  Just check the circle for my name, sign and seal the ballot in its envelope, follow the other instructions and send it in before the cut-off date.

If you are a voting member you should vote. I've seen threads on writing in LTC Oliver Norths name. OP is there anyone else you would recommend voting for or writing in.

Anybody have an idea where we could use our collective strength to get some good people on the board and maybe we can help end the reign of FWLP.

PS I got my Ballot today and would like to return by Monday and OP you've got my vote!

Been a long time voting member but I believe that at this point it is a waste of time.

Even if we get good people in they are way outnumbered by wlp's goons and will have no power.

The NRA gets nothing from me until wlp and his cronies are gone and there is no way to get rig of them.

"Anybody have an idea where we could use our collective strength to get some good people on the board and maybe we can help end the reign of FWLP.(?)  Well, one thing's for certain, if Present Board and officers just drop out things won't change.  I've been at the 2A fight since the early-mid 1970s and NRA is MY organization, it doesn't belong to the Board or officers any more than the US belongs to Congress or a POTUS with dementia.  We continue to vote in the US (I hope), not voting for NRA Board when you are able to only adds to what people are already complaining about.  And I'd remind you that there is more to the 2A than just politics.  Without the "FUDDs" and casual shooters we won't have enough support to keep it, or our guns.

Why would he be planning to bury his guns?

The NRA isn't what it used to be and I'm not going to be held hostage by WLP trying to convince me that it's the only option. It sounds like you're spreading the same BS.

Not true.  But it will be the Board that either renews or cancels WLP's contract, not a "lynch mob" bully ordeal at an Annual Meeting.  Put people on the Board who reflect your POV, or run yourself, via petition if you must.  I stand with the organization, not the leadership, and believe NRA belongs to the members.  Seriously, though, and standing up for no one, the past couple of attacks sessions at WLP at the past 2 AMs were almost the same as the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" crowd, or the goons tearing down statues on their own.  That's how the Taliban operates.  Soros or Bloomberg could easily pay for a rally like those.  I'd hope for a better "trial", if due process isn't followed, what's the use, or good of any organization.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the general board has no say on whether WLP stays or goes.  WLP is insulated from direct action by the board and the membership at large.

"Why would he be planning to bury his guns? "
Did you read the rest of my reply?  NRA is about the only option if one wants to continue the rest of the programs that NRA offers, and I firmly believe they are important to the survival of the 2A.  As stated elsewhere here, there is much more to keeping our guns" than the political aspect and if we run off all the hunters, competitors, casual gun owners, women and the like we'll have few left to support the 2A.

Personally, I won't give up my guns- period.  Nor do I want to ever be put into having to make such a decision because I didn't like the person at the helm and worked for the end of one of the primary reasons we still have privately owned firearms in the US, against almost overwhelming odds..  Join up with Leticia James?  Not me.  And I absolutely abhor Biden, Harris, Schumer, AOC, et al, but I'm not giving up on the country and will continue to vote and work for the Constitution and the futue of this republic no matter how much cheating and bias there is.  

If removing WLP is your goal, do something about it-but total inaction and disengagement isn't going to accomplish anything.

People here on this board and elsewhere worked hard to get a couple good guys elected and when they tried to make a difference they found out that they were powerless and were forced out of committees and eventually resigned I believe.

Please explain in detail how you would be able to do things differently.

I would love to see the NRA rise from the ashes but I don't see anyway that can happen unless wlp and the executive board all resign (don't see that happening) or some outside entity forces them out.

You do realize that the way the elections are structured it is very difficult to get more than a very few new and good board members elected at a time and that there are 76 board members. How much power do you think one new board member has?

wlp and his cronies have rigged the system over the years and it is, for all practical purposes, impossible to make any changes.

I have written and directly communicated with several board members and most just tow the company line. The ones that agree that there have to be major changes are just too far outnumber.

Please explain in detail how you are going to change that.

An outstanding question, and I get it a lot better than some here realize.  We're talking politics here, within a large organization.  When someone new comes in (like I'm doing here) and runs only with an axe to grind, they rarely make any headway since they start out in the minority of the present leadership.  Constant harping only does what the Dems are doing to the MAGA people- Painting everyone who backs/backed DJT as a moron, racist, bigot, etc.  75+ million Americans?  This kind of harping only tends to strengthen those who might be pursuaded to look at things differently.  It happened to the Repubs in 1996 and got the Hillbilly reelected.  Better to just let the truth come out with some constructive criticism and stop trying to make every NRA member look like an idiot.  4-5 million people?  Things are softening and would move faster were it not for the constant outsider drumbeat that only makes a lot of members not in the know more defensive.  In politics, unless one is very strong or in a dictatorship, one learns to make alliances and coalitions with people that may share some interests to finally get what you seek.

"2. Do you believe Wayne LaPierre's continued employment by NRA helps or hurts the NRA's case in NY?"

Obviously hurts it, but Pete Brownell, or any other person would be facing the same amount of attack were they NRA CEO/EVP.  A better question might be: Will GOA, NAGR, FPC, SAF, etc. be able to sustain lawsuits against them should NRA fail and the spotlight gets placed on them?   Personally, I don't think any of them have the resources to defend themselves and the suits and pressure will hit them like a load of bricks if NRA is no longer the primary target.

"3. Who do you think would make a reasonable candidate for Interim EVP, to realign the NRA, if LaPierre were to resign tomorrow? Give two options please."

Good question, because one way or another, at 72-73, WLP will retire at some point.  For quite a while he was responsible to raise something like $1.4 million per day to fuel all of the NRA programs.  I'm not certain yet who could do that. They'd also have to be able to handle the MSM, although today NRA is pretty much cancelled as far as being "guests" on the news head shows.   We need someone knowledgable in law, politics, media handling, fundraising, and an articulate spokesperson who can be pursuasive without turning off the general public, as we've seen over the past year when 10 million or so Americans who never owned guns actually went out and bought them- for protection, no less.  Me?  I'm willing to entertain applicants and review them.  Let hear yours...

"4. Can you suggest two names of current Directors who you could/would support for President of the Board?"

Needs to be someone who can rally and unite the entire Board and not continue to alienate and divide along pro/con lines.  That'll be tough right now, and perhaps you'd not want anyone from current leadership there.(?)  As far as "ascension" goes, Chas Cotton is next in line, Willes Lee follows him.  Personally, I'd be happy to see Kayne Robinson come out of retirement for a short time.  He's ex-officio, not an actual Board member.  He'd be good as an interim EVP/CEO, too, but doubt he'd want it.

K, M-D, I'll humor you.  

If elected I'd be one of 76 people.  I already know/am known to a fair number of BOD and past Prez so first is need to make alliances with like minded people there.  Even the most anti-WLP NRA member present here, however, might be smart to vote for someone who is not already on the Board or never has been and cannot be tied to any of the issues you and others claim are the problems.  Otherwise,FWIW, the WLP and Leticia James things have to be resolved- Ended ASAP and as cheaply as can be mitigated.  

That's about it for starters.  

Of course, I know a number of NRA-haters here and on other blogs I've been on for years aren't even NRA members so I don't seek to change their opinions as they can't do anything for me.  I've got to believe, however, that there are some members around and they might tend to agree with me so coming here can't hurt me.   Voting for me HAS to be better than just folding your arms like a little kid and wanting to take your ball and go home.

I've been an NRA life member for over 12 years now, a benefactor for 8 years and a yearly member prior.

My issue with you is that you didn't care about ARFCOM until you needed our vote. Will you still care after the BOD election, I don't think so.

How about you respond to your timing of joining ARFCOM, and your sudden interest in our community.

GOA was formed because the NRA no longer speaks for us that believe in 2A.

The replys to this post would be comical if it was another organization and topic.

So many people behave as if the NRA has never done anything for them.  Do you CCW?  Who do you think helped make that happen?

The NRA has and continues to do a lot of great things.  While I think some aspects have gone astray and are not effective,  there is still a lot of good there.

Too many armchair quarterbacks get mad at one thing and want to throw it all away.   Sounds very immature,  temper tantrum like.

While the NRA is having issues,  I for one will not walk away just because our enemies have launched a  considerable campaign to destroy them.  Even if WL is in the wrong,  that is for membership who foots the bill to decide and not some NYC Karen prosecutor to decide.

So many people behave as if the NRA has never done anything for them.  Do you CCW?  Who do you think helped make that happen?

The NRA has and continues to do a lot of great things.  While I think some aspects have gone astray and are not effective,  there is still a lot of good there.

Too many armchair quarterbacks get mad at one thing and want to throw it all away.   Sounds very immature,  temper tantrum like.

While the NRA is having issues,  I for one will not walk away just because our enemies have launched a  considerable campaign to destroy them.  Even if WL is in the wrong,  that is for membership who foots the bill to decide and not some NYC Karen prosecutor to decide.

If wlp and his suck buddies on the board had not screwed the pooch none of this would be happening.

I would love to see the NRA rise from the ashes but that is not going to happen until wlp is gone along with most of the board.

They have totally rigged the system and nothing will change till they are gone.
