And the NRA Board did not accept my nomination for the board
surprised....not
I got my fedx today informing me that I was not nominated to be on the ballot for the 2023 election for the NRA Board of Directors.
John Frazer’s letter said that there were 48 candidates submitted. There are 30 on the ballot so far - pending petition candidates - note I am NOT running by petition this year.
It looks like all current directors were renominated, and some folks like Amanda Suffercol and Rick Ector, who served on NRA Board committees, were nominated.
The ballot will be in the February issue of the NRA magazines.
I am the only unelected director from the 2022 ballot and stand ready to fill any vacancy for the current term. I will be at the board and committee meetings in September and report on those as I have for past meetings.
You're a glutton for punishment Frank but I appreciate all you do to keep us informed about the goings on at the board meetings. Like many others I have withdrawn my financial support until WLP and the current board are gone. I hope some day others will be able to pick up the remaining worthwhile pieces and continue.
What a disappointment. Yet so expected from the NRA. The current Board has lost all semblance of being a governing body driven by the needs of the membership and the overarching principles of support for 2A issues and training in the fundamentals of safe firearms handling and ownership. The current Board has turned the NRA into a sad joke. They see the NRA as their own little tool to feed their sense of entitlement and self-enrichment/self-aggrandizement. The reality is that we need Frank Tait and others like him to get on the Board and drive change from within. Stay dedicated, Frank. There are many of us who support you and all you stand for. Thank you.
