Let’s Be Above Average

In another voting facts factoid from the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association, we learn that in the last five NRA Board elections that it took an average of 51,774 votes to be elected.

If what I’m hearing on the ground is accurate, it should take more than that to be elected. The reason being is that I’m hearing from long time members that they plan to vote for the first time. Moreover, they plan to vote for NRA 2.0 and reform.

If you have friends who are NRA members, ask them if they are a voting member? Ask them if they have voted yet? If they answer no, tell them they need to vote and they need to vote for NRA 2.0. While it might be nice to see the NRA returned to its former prominence, I am more concerned about it being an effective advocate for the Second Amendment and not worrying about who gets the credit for the win.

NRA Voting Facts Revisited

In another illustration of how so few eligible NRA voting members actually vote is this factoid from the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association.

Thanks to Bitter and the Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association for compiling these numbers. Imagine a NRA if a million members voted for change, reform, and NRA 2.0. Nothing could stop us!

It Is Time To Vote

If you are a voting member of the NRA you should have received your ballot by now. If not, see my post on how to report a missing ballot and how to request it be replaced. Given the USPS, you still may want to give it a few more days.

In the meantime, here is a reminder.

Vote and encourage your friends who are voting members to vote. I can’t count how many people I’ve spoken with who are Life Members who have never voted.

The Complementary Spouse and I filled out our ballots today and they will be in tomorrow’s mail. Remember the deadline for receipt is April 6th. I thought it was the postmark date but the ballot specifically says receipt.
