FROM: Lt. Col. Robert K. Brown (Ret.)
Editor/Publisher, Soldier Of Fortune Magazine
Member of the NRA Board of Directors

  Once again, I'm endorsing a slate of candidates running for the Board of
Directors of the National Rifle Association. Why? Because I'm an
independant thinking curmudgeon who has never totally endorsed the
recommendations of the nominating committee, even when I served on said
committee three years ago. I'm endorsing a number of individuals who are
running for the Board by petition simply because I disagree with the
nominating committee's recommendations.

  I've been on the Board for some 10 years and I have worked with and
personally know most of the individuals I'm supporting. They are all
eminent in their particular fields of expertise, have demonstrated the
ability to best guide the NRA in these perilous times and most effectively
promote what I consider to be the main objective of the NRA - to protect
our Second Amendment rights. These still are perilous times. Though we won
a magnificent victory on 8 November, we cannot rest on our laurels; we
cannot expect the swine and charlatans who represent the anti-gun lobby to
fold up their tents and crawl quietly back into the sewers.

  If you are eligible to vote in the Board elections, you will receive a
ballot in your copy of the American Rifleman or the American Hunter, which
you should receive in the latter part of February. For further information
on the individuals I'm supporting, consult the biographies in the ballot
issue. In any case, if you are seriously interested in protecting your gun
rights and the future effectiveness of the NRA, do yourself a favor and
vote!
