USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Marion Hammer is up for re-election to the Board of Directors of the NRA. It’s our turn to step up to the plate (as she has done for us consistently over the years) and support her. Marion has been unyielding in her support of the Second Amendment at both the state and national levels.
If you are a voting member (Life Member or have been an annual member for five consecutive years) your ballot to elect NRA Board Members will be in the February 2019 issue of your NRA magazine. Ballot issues are arriving NOW.
Check your February issue for your ballot and be sure to vote. Vote for Marion Hammer — it is not necessary for you to vote for anyone else — BUT — you need to Vote for Marion Hammer. We need her representation on the NRA Board.
If you have a concealed carry license, thank Marion. Her efforts led the way to “shall issue” licenses nationwide.
The right to protect yourself without fear of criminal prosecution for armed self-defense? Thank Marion.
The award-winning and nationally recognized Eddie Eagle gun safety program for children, again, thank Marion — she was the creator and driving force behind it.
You can shoot at an outdoor range without fear of a state or local government agency zoning the range out of existence because Marion was there to push through the Range Protection Act.
Your self-defense rights and the presumption of innocence have been restored because of the work done by Marion Hammer.
At the state and federal level, Marion has stood on the front line ensuring the Second Amendment of the US Constitution and our rights under the Second Amendment remain secure.
Marion has never viewed being on the NRA Board as something for a resume. She dedicates herself daily to unselfishly working to ensure that our rights as lawful gun owners remain inviolate.
I have known and worked with Marion Hammer for over 40 years. There is no one I know who has dedicated so much of her soul to protecting us from the gun-grabbers.
Perhaps today more than ever, we need to show our support for her hard work. I urge you to get out your issue of The American Rifleman, The American Hunter or America’s First Freedom, if you are a voting member, pull out the official ballot that is attached inside and vote for Marion Hammer.
As we have seen in recent political elections complacency can lead to harmful results. Please vote for Marion Hammer for the NRA Board of Directors.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT! Watch for your ballot issue and VOTE!
Please forward this article to all of your NRA member friends, family and co-workers.
Why is there no permanent voter registration at every gun show and gun shop throughout Florida and the country? All it would take is an employee willing and trained by their local voter registrar’s office to accomplish this along with a sign register to vote here. . It would be informative to customers/voters if a poster of their local politician who voted to protect their gun rights be displayed for all to see. Good for business and good for our freedom to keep and bear arms. Go for it!
No. I’m bullet voting Adam.
NO! After the way she was silent while Governor Rick Scott scored Political points for his upcoming Senate race, and essentially allowed the first Red Flag law to be passed in FL then in an effort to look like they’re doing something the NRA files a meaningless lawsuit that will never go anywhere. Sorry, but not gonna happen. The time for those on the Board who are willing to compromise our rights away is over. Shall Not Be Infringed means exactly that, and we need people on the board that will not compromise.
I don’t care if Marion has a gazillion cats. I love what she’s accomplished for law-abiding citizen’s gun rights and I love cats. She got my vote.
Not voting for someone who doesn’t even know the proper way to hold a handgun [NOT cup-and-saucer!].a
LOOKS LIKE all the anti-gun idiots and trolls are out in force.
