Charles has my vote. I intentionally paid up my EPL in time to vote, and specifically so I could do my part to keep him there! :txflag:

Those wish to really support Charles won't vote for the full number of candidates allowed. Voting for other candidates on the ticket tends to weaken support for the one we really want on board.

In that case, possibly. But if you need a replacement, you can't. I was doing some straightening up yesterday and apparently also discarded my March issue with the ballot.

I called the Life Member extension and was told that all requests for replacement ballots must be submitted by mail explaining why you need a replacement.

Voting fraud must be rampant!

Into that category I'd put William Dailey, Charles Cotton, and Steven Schreiner.
Thank you, Mr. Hardy.

My ballot went in the mail today.

The decisions didn't take long, mind you; I've just had a very busy five weeks.

Foremost on my ballot: Charles Cotton.

No NRA Director--no one; period--has done more for the rights of Texas gun owners.

Vote for Charles Cotton. It is essential he be on the NRA Board of Directors.

I also voted for Charles. :txflag:

Next I went through the list and crossed out anyone who lives somewhere without Texas reciprocity. If they live somewhere that doesn't accept my CHL, they don't get my vote. First, it looks like they still have a lot of work to do locally before they play at the national level. Second, I don't want the demands of a NRA BOD job to distract them from focusing their time and energy on the important local work.

I want to thank everyone for their support for my reelection to the NRA Board of Directors. I'm honored to have been reelected to the Board for a term ending in 2014.

Thanks,
Chas.
