UPDATE: Time is running out for petition candidates for the NRA Board of Directors to obtain the necessary signatures. Rocky must submit all signatures by November 7th. This means he needs everything in hand ASAP. If you are eligible to vote in the 2024 election for NRA Board of Directors and you have not signed the petition, DO IT NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, the Nominating Committee has nominated 28 people for the 25 board seats<\/a> up for election. A full 25 of these people are already on the Board. It is the same old, same old which has allowed the NRA to flounder, to be brought into court in New York, and which has allowed grifters like Wayne, Marion, and company to get away with it for years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocky Marshall is stepping up to run for the NRA Board of Directors. I have run guest posts<\/a><\/strong> from Rocky as well as have highlighted the work he had done in bringing reform to the NRA. His work analyzing the financ<\/strong>es <\/a>of the NRA has been insightful. Rocky sought to intervene<\/a><\/strong> in the NRA dissolution lawsuit so that someone would actually be representing the members and not Wayne’s interests. Unfortunately, it was denied<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have sent in the names of both Rocky and Judge Phil Journey to the Nominations Committee. They, like I, fully expect that the nominations will be blown off in favor of someone who won’t rock the boat. Thus, Rocky is seeking to get on the ballot by petition. This year, thanks to the abysmal voter turnout in 2023, one only need approximately 375 valid signatures to get on the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is a valid signature? It would be that of a Life Member of any level or that of a five-year continuous member. If there had been any break in your annual membership during that five years, the clock starts again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Rocky’s email to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In 2021, I was selected to be on the National Rifle Association Board of Directors. During my tenure, I served a one-year term and worked diligently to change the management and the direction of the NRA due to the corruption that had occurred.  I am once again attempting to be reelected to the Board of Directors in hopes of working to save the NRA from the current demise.  If you would like to help me, and you are an NRA Life Member, please print out the attached petition and fill in your information and sign where indicated. If you are able to obtain additional NRA Life members on the form, please feel free to do so.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALL SIGNATURES MUST BE ORIGINAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please mail the petition to the following address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocky Marshall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

975 Turkey Knob<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boerne, TX 78006<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As noted above this, a 5-year member also qualifies. That said, there is never a question regarding Life Members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have embedded both the petition and a bio for Rocky below. Send back the signed petition with your membership number to Rocky at the address he provided. If you have friends who are NRA Life Members, have them sign it as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Complementary Spouse and I have signed the petition and will be mailing back to Rocky ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
