He's up for reelection. This jackass, the pusher of assault weapons bans and 5-round mag limits:
 Here's the problem: the NRA board election is done with acceptance voting. You can vote for up to 25 candidates from the list, and the 25 people with the most votes win. That makes it very hard to kick out specific members, because you have to get 25 other people with more votes. Here's what we need to do: DON'T FILL IN OR MAIL YOUR BALLOT YET! We'll all need to choose 25 other people, and to have the best chances of knocking Joaquin Jackson off the board, we would ideally all choose the same 25. I don't want to tell anyone who to vote for, so instead I'm going to keep an updated list of candidates that members here like. If you know one of the people running for the board, briefly post your experiences, and I'll copy them into the next few posts. Hopefully we can find 25 candidates who we feel are better suited than Joaquin Jackson. Similarly, if there are any more jokers like him running this year, let us know that too. All the candidates running this year: 1. Joe M. Allbaugh 2. Bob Barr 3. Graham Hill 4. Susan Howard 5. Frank E. Bachhuber Jr. 6. Richard Childress 7. Pete Brownell 8. Marion P. Hammer 9. H. Joaquin Jackson 10. Oliver L. North 11. Larry E. Craig 12. Tom King 13. Johnny Nugent 14. Sandra S. Froman 15. Ted Nugent 16. Willie J. Robertson 17. George Kollitides 18. Dave Butz 19. Karl A. Malone 20. Don E. Young 21. Dwight D. Van Horn 22. James W. Porter II 23. Robert E. Sanders 24. Joel Friedman 25 Carol Bambery 26. Matt Blunt 27. Steven C. Schreiner 28. Jeffrey S. Crane 29. Lance Olson Naughty List: Larry Craig Joaquin Jackson Karl Malone Arfcom-Approved: Carol Bambery Bob Barr Matt Blunt Pete Brownell - Founder of Brownells.com, ARF site sponsor. Sandra S. Froman Graham Hill Tom King - President of the NYSRPA, and ARFCom member. Oliver North Johnny Nugent Ted Nugent Lance Olson Willie J. Robertson Steve Schreiner - Colorado gun rights activist. Dwight D. Van Horn Post your suggestions. We need 25 good guys. |

For a primer on voting strategy, see David Hardy's piece: http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2013/02/nra_ballot_issu.php#comments One clue in voting: if you cast the entire 25 votes that are allowed, you water down each of them. There's usually about 5 that I consider highly important, maybe even indispensable, to the organization, and then many more who would be good. But if I vote for the many more good ones, I increase the odds that one of them might displace the indispensable ones. |

Another one that has to go is Grover Norquist. Here is a part of just one of many articles written about him:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/03/grover_norquists_jihad.html Grover Norquist's ties to Islamic supremacists and jihadists have been known for years. He and his Palestinian wife, Samah Alrayyes -- who was director of communications for his Islamic Free Market Institute until they married in 2005 -- are very active in "Muslim outreach." Just six weeks after 9/11, The New Republic ran an exposé explaining how Norquist arranged for George W. Bush to meet with fifteen Islamic supremacists at the White House on September 26, 2001 -- to show how Muslims rejected terrorism. Wrote TNR author Franklin Foer: On the afternoon of September 26, George W. Bush gathered 15 prominent Muslim- and Arab-Americans at the White House. With cameras rolling, the president proclaimed that "the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace and good." It was a critically important moment, a statement to the world that America's Muslim leaders unambiguously reject the terror committed in Islam's name. Unfortunately, many of the leaders present hadn't unambiguously rejected it. To the president's left sat Dr. Yahya Basha, president of the American Muslim Council, an organization whose leaders have repeatedly called Hamas "freedom fighters." Also in attendance was Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, who on the afternoon of September 11 told a Los Angeles public radio audience that "we should put the State of Israel on the suspect list." And sitting right next to President Bush was Muzammil Siddiqi, president of the Islamic Society of North America, who last fall told a Washington crowd chanting pro-Hezbollah slogans that "America has to learn if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God will come." It was Norquist who ushered these silver-tongued jihadists into the Oval Office of an incurious president after the worst attack ever on American soil. Instead of Hamas, Hezb'allah, and the Muslim Brotherhood, Ibn Warraq, Bat Ye'or, and Wafa Sultan should have been advising the president. Instead, at that September 26 meeting, Bush declared that "the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace and good." It was a critically important, historic incident. What should have been the most important teaching moment of the long war became a propaganda tool for Islam. A singular opportunity was squandered, and the resulting harm is incalculable. Bush did this because he trusted Norquist, who vouched for these Muslim leaders. Yet "the record suggests," wrote Foer, "that [Norquist] has spent quite a lot of time promoting people openly sympathetic to Islamist terrorists." And this continued for years. |
