I just deleted a post that linked to another website with NRA endorsements and other information about the NRA elections for 2016. Let me explain why I deleted the post.

First, anything on the Forum is going to be picked up by other organizations, including anti-gun organizations. I cannot allow the Forum to be improperly used by others with an agenda. Secondly, I have endorsed two of the very good sitting Board members and I don't want my endorsements to be watered down by those of other websites. I would have happily endorsed more, but these are the only two who asked for my help in what is a very crowded field.

There was nothing wrong with posting the link and I don't want anyone to think the post was improper or in violation of any Forum rules.

I will provide more information soon, but I am endorsing Dwight Van Horn and Carol Bamberry for reelection. I also strongly suggest voting only for people who were nominated by the Nominating Committee. This is not an attack on people who were elected solely by petition, but those nominated by the Nominating Committee were fully vetted and every single claim they made about their experience and qualifications were verified. I've served on the Nominating Committee twice since being elected to the Board in 2001. (You can only serve once every five years and never when you are up for election.) I have first hand experience how seriously the Committee takes its responsibility to the NRA Members.
