2006 NRA Elections - Please help

[Charles L. Cotton]

NRA First Vice President John Sigler is up for re-election in 2006. I have worked closely with John since my first election to the NRA Board and I have come to respect him greatly. No one works harder or puts in more volunteer hours. During the 2004 Presidential campaign, John was away from home every weekend for almost a year making speeches, attending fund raisers and get-out-the-vote rallies, etc. for Bush and other pro-gun candidates.

I am circulating petitions for his nomination for re-election and I would greatly appreciate it if any of you NRA voting members would sign John's petition. If you would like to sign the petition, please send me a PM with your address and I'll mail a copy to you for signature, along with a self-addressed return envelope. I will send blank petitions, as I don't want to risk losing a bunch of signatures if it gets lost in the mail coming or going.

Thanks in advance,
Chas.

I too know John personally. He is a U. S. Navy veteran. We served on the same submarine. He and I are members of boat's crew association, with John as a board member. Chas, I will support your petition.

CLC-

This is a related question...I recently joined both the NRA and the TSRA. I did this because I wanted to give money to an organization that supports and defends our 2nd amendment rights. As a member (paying yearly) does that make me a 'voting member'? Or is that reserved for long term members or maybe lifetime members?

[Charles L. Cotton]

In order to vote in the NRA Directors elections, you have to either be a life member, or an annual member for at least 5 consecutive years.

Regards,
Chas.

Thanks guys! I've received a number of PM's in response to my request. I'll get the petitions out in the mail this weekend. I'm getting ready for trial and everything else gets stuck on the back burner.

Keep the PM's coming!

Thanks again,
Chas.

I would love to help but I am just an NRA rookie.
