Is there any arfcom recommendations on who to vote for? The only names that jump out at me are Ronnie Barrett and Niger Roy Innis.
Not that they are the people to vote for, but they are the only names that I’ve ever heard before.

The good part is if nobody votes the threshold to get on the ballot goes down for next year.  The NRA changed the rules to a mystery floating number depending on the previous years ballots. Making it hard for none hand picked candidates to get on the ballot.

I was surprised when I opened the mailbox and saw a gun rag lying in there!  When I saw it was NRA I almost tossed it in the recycle bin coming through the garage.  But, it's been a while, so I'll give it a quick flip through, and then throw it in the trash.


And I didn't even realize the ballot was in it till this thread.  lol.

10 years ago I thought my ballot mattered.

I don’t think I’ve even received one in the past 5 years.

(Hint, elections in Chicago might be more legitimate.)

My standard guide for voting for board members since the Neil Knox days in the 80s is to vote against everybody the Board recommends.

I have a theory about why the ballots are in the magazines.  It's because they know you just toss them.

If they wanted you to put any thought into the ballots, they would mail them separately.  It's not like the NRA doesn't love to mail stuff.

If you look on the back of your membership card there is a way to opt out of about 98% of those mailings and phone calls.  The majority of the membership never sees them.

To those Reform candidates, I would also add Rick Ector.

So how about the Bylaw Amendment, Y or N?

Good question.  I had the same question.  I'll read what is the printed magazine tomorrow.

Do I trust what NRA presented in text for that amendment?  No.  Because of how they pick and select the 7.639 board members from the 18,679 who they have to list.  They do this to hide reform board members, like the 4 who I got from multiple sources.

A couple of years ago I wrote a letter to Wayne LaPierre asking for his resignation.  The NRA I became a life member of no longer existed.  I fondly remember my grandfather's American Rifleman magazines and wanted to continue the tradition.  Wayne LaPiere fucked us all.

I sincerely hope the NRA can be saved, reborn as a legitimate and reputable organization.

I'm am NRA life member.  My old boss bought life memberships for all of his employees.

I was thinking about calling up the NRA and telling them to cancel my membership, which is permanent, and free.

Its alway hilarious (as well as proving votes do not count) when the magazine sent with the ballot includes a section from the "nominating committee" on who they recommend to vote for.

Given the corrupt board is presenting the amendment to the bylaws, I presume we should vote against that as well?

Negative @backbencher . . . Jeff Knox says we need to vote FOR the amendment that "requires a vote of the membership to create a new officer position".

UPDATE: Vote YES on the Bylaw proposal.
The Bylaws require a vote of the membership to create a new officer position, and this is one that needs to happen.  — Jeff

This is common for almost all companies that send out ballots for board member elections. They have to go to the stockholders (members) so bylaws and day to day operating procedures can be voted on.
