Northeast Regional Report: March - April 2015

Now is a definitive time in our national history. While the dynamics in Congress have changed, the desire to restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners remains at the core of their mission. While tactics may have changed, their commitment to the gun ban agenda has not wavered.

You are a vital asset with the unique opportunity to give people in your area a voice in Washington by promoting the importance of their involvement with the NRA. With your dedication you can help the entire NRA nation in protecting our constitutional rights by serving as a spokesperson for the people of this great nation. Citizens can have an impact not only in Washington but also in their community by helping the NRA defend the Second Amendment. Every voice counts. Be sure to direct your attention and others alike to the NRA-ILA for up to date information.

The challenge we now face is continuing to build a stronger NRA. Ensuring our members and those who support the Second Amendment are fully engaged in the battle to defeat the threats we will face is vital to overcoming this challenge. I encourage and challenge each of you to think outside the box and be creative with promotion and membership drive ideas. Now more than ever we need to attract new members as well as reinforce and instill our ideals into our current members.

In an effort to create awareness, I highly encourage you each to attend new venues. When the warm weather shows up, take advantage of the opportunity. Recruiters have had success at carnivals, motorcycle rallies, community events and even rodeos. As long as you’ve got a crowd and a voice, you can recruit. Let your voice and the voices of your communities be heard. Together, WE STAND UNITED as the National Rifle Association.
