Final call for NRA Voting members to VOTE

Ballots must be received by May 8

The NRA doesn’t seem to be paying attention to members. As Bitter reports - yesterday, one of her gun clubs voted to STOP requiring NRA membership. This likely removes hundreds of dues-paying members from the NRA.

As Bitter points out “You’d think Fairfax would care this year when more is on the line. But they don’t. Even the really local and regional NRA Board Members don’t care enough to reach out. (Yes, I can confirm some were notified well in advance of the vote.) Combine that lack of concern from the NRA leadership with the fact that the member discussion showed that NRA messaging is so insanely out of touch with nearly anyone under 50 or so, and the requirement fell to a resounding defeat. Nearly 3 to 1 to remove any requirement to join the NRA.”

“The NRA was seen as too squishy, out of touch with current gun rights debates, and not representative of the guns they want to own and shoot. This was not a sign of a weakening gun rights movement. This was a move back to the roots – gun owners turning out locally and encouraging multiple fronts and ways to tackle state and national issues.”

We need to reform the NRA to refocus on serving the MEMBERS.

As John Richardson posted in his blog on March 20, some postal service areas have an issue with the preprinted return address on the NRA ballots and they are returned as undeliverable. As John notes on the blog, this seems to only be happening in the Southeast PA area sp far. NRA Secretary John Frazier advises the following if this happens to your ballot

“… We ask that the member please enclose the entire return envelope in a larger envelope, and mail it to:
