Click to Recall Joaquin Jackson NRA BoD!!

[Jeff82]

Mr. Jackson has said some pretty anti-2nd Amendment things. He shouldn't be on the Board of Directors of our NRA.
Voting eligible members please get more info here:

Here it is: Petition to Recall Joaquin Jackson (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JD85YJX2)

This is a hot link so you click it and it should download to your computer. It's a Word doc.

You'll get the first page which is the petition and two follow on pages with additional info as to why I'm doing this. (If you've followed this thread on GT then you already know. )

Feel free to post this link in other places. Be sure you "copy shortcut" to get megaupload address!

If there are any problems with the link PM me so I can contact the file storage site.

Get this around to gun shows, clubs, ranges etc. We need to act fairly quickly as this needs to get in in time to make the print deadline for the next annual meeting. We've got about two months.

Remember, we need 450 total, with a minimum of 100 from three states to qualify.

Can we make this a sticky for the next two months or so? Thanks.

Okay Stevemis on THR has converted this to a pdf file but this site says it's 25kb over my quota so I can't put it here. I must not have much of a quota as this would be my first upload.

So, you can go to following forums and seach for "Click to Recall Joaquin Jackson!!" to get the pdf version: GlockTalk, The High Road, OA2 Olympic Arms, and Your American Backyard.

Any one particularly successful at copying then distributing these petitions?

I'm trying to get an idea about how many are out there. 525 isn't going to cut it. We'll need (I'm guessing) at least 2,000 in order to get the "100 in each of three state" minimum if we depend purely on the downloads.

This will require several successful attempts at gun shows within one state, x three.

[Jeff82]

Just so's people know I'm updating the numbers daily on the first page.

California and Virginia are opening up their shared lead on the rest of ya!! Let's go!!

[Jeff82]

Welcome New Jersey!! Now, get your buds on board and try and catch Virginia. She's walking away from the pack. California, eat her dust!

[Jeff82]

Didn't get to the mail box today. I'll add petitions tomorrow.

[Jeff82]

One man shouldn't be able to remove a board member. I can't. Only with many men in agreement should this be able to happen.

That said, this petition will not work by just the folks that I contact signing up (1st order effect). To get the numbers we need we'll need to "network." The people you talk to (2nd order) and the folks they talk to (3rd order) and so forth, will be needed for this to work.

I've had well over 600 downloads to date. Sooner or later most of those will come in. yet so far, I'm only getting a trickle, 1 or 2 a day. Over the last four days I've only gotten 2 and they're for the most part spread out over many states. We need to get at least 100 in each of three states to validate the petition. I'll need to see which states are closest so we can redouble efforts to ensure the right numbers. I'll bet the vast majority of voting members haven't a clue that this petitioin is going on. It'll require ALL of us to bring it up at our local clubs, ranges, in the field, even the grocery stores. All the voting members should, at the very least, be made aware of this so they can make a decision to support this or not. I can't do that alone. It takes you too. Not to convince them, but simply to provide a choice.

One man won't (and shouldn't) be able to take out one board member. But many men, in agreement, can.

[Jeff82]

Bad news: Only 3 petitions received this whole week. :icon_confused:

Good news: 138 new downloads! :2pistol:

[Jeff82]

Couple new states! Welcome aboard!

[Jeff82]

Had a great day today. Went and shot in a USPSA match put on by Tino with the Fredericksburg R&GC with stage design by the folks from Shooter's Paradise. Tons of fun and as there were 5 classifier stages I shouldn't have to shoot "Unclass" (No class? haha) anymore!!

North Dakota is really pulling someone else's slack as they are 48th in size in the Union!

From one of my posts on GT:

I agree with that too. I just stroked a check yesterday to GOA for my Life membership there.

But the clout that 4.3 million Americans can have is just too big a prize not to fight for...

My favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo. It is noble, resists domestication, looks for no trouble but engages it when trouble finds them. They reclaim their own. When in danger protectors (adults) of the herd all stand shoulder to shoulder and project a united front against the danger. This is what I'd like to see happen with the pro-gun groups.

I propose to found the "Cape Buffalo Society". An association of groups/folks dedicated to uniting in a cooperative effort, reclaiming our 2A rights.

This will be a closed door round-table for leadership/spokesman members of all the gun groups to come and to discuss the varying view points on the different issues and hopefully come to consensus; and supporters. Thereby showing a united front to the rest of America and the world. Enough of the sniping at each other. Divided we will fall.


Let me introduce you to the cast of characters in our story below:

-The mighty Cape Buffalo: responsible, US Constitution following gun owners, the Militia (as designated by USC)
-Baby Buffalo: our wives, children, families, or even our Rights
-The Lions: socialists, communists, leftists, anti-gunners, the Disarmers
-The Crocodile: criminal opportunists, attackers of the weak and unarmed

Seeing the parallels in this video durn near brought tears to my eyes.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
There have been many downloads. Nearly 900. But I've only received 30+ petitions back. (Haven't checked yet today. Wifee will be home later and she's stopping by the box.)

Now I don't know if the "other" side of this argument has started dl'ing to boost the numbers to cause my (our) side to think their vote is not needed, that someone else can do it, but please do not let this stop you from voicing your choice in the matter. Every vote counts and every vote is needed. It's important to let the Board know just how much support is out here for this point of view. We don't want to be marginalized.

So if you have been meaning to send your petition in do it. If you know of vote eligible folks that haven't had the chance to learn of the situation, bring it up and discuss it. Take action if you agree.

I'd like to get the petitions to NRA HQ by mid Nov. That will ensure they've got the time necessary to do the things they need to by the bylaws. We can wait a little bit more but then we're cutting into our "safety margin."

Petitions are up, 8 in the last two days not including today, so maybe we're 'turning the corner' so to speak. Don't count on someone else to do it, you take action.

Let me count on you!! You can on me!

[Jeff82]

**Important Info**

I've combined efforts with several others. A blog has been created to handle this whole JJ debacle. All the updated info will be there.

recalljoaquinjackson.blogspot.com (http://recalljoaquinjackson.blogspot.com)

I will be updating that single site instead of trying to keep the dozen+ forums I was posting in, updated. That took about an hour and that was if there were minimal new posts to reply to.

I will try to answer new posts as they occur but I won't be updating the numbers here any longer.

Thanks to All!!

Can someone give a link or and idea just what this guy has done to rile up so many?

I'm the first to say someone is wrong when they are or to say someone must go if it's warranted but I am reluctant to find someone guilty on someone's say-so third hand comments. I need to see the evidence for myself.

So, if someone can steer me in the direction of this evidence I will gladly help out if I think the situation calls for it.

Everything you need is at recalljoaquinjackson.blogspot.com .

Even video of him saying what he did. Download the petition as it has more links leading to all the info. Or you can start websearching to verify what we're providing you. I'd suggest using our info, then searching from there.

OK...thanks.....I'm off to look at it.

OK...I heard enough. This guy needs correction or removal.

Now, where do I sign a petition that I don't have to put my home address on it or other personal information????????

Although I consider my NRA membership number MY business and not someone's on an internet forum I can see the need to establish I am an NRA member. OK....fine....but.....

Is my address ABSOLUTELY needed? THE NRA has my address and I am willing to sign a petition as long I don't have to put my address on it.

So...steer me in the right direction for it, please.

So...steer me in the right direction for it, please.You print it out and send it to me. I hand it to Secretary Jim Land in a stack of hundreds of others. The only ones going to see your address is you. me, and the staff at NRA HQ (who already have your address) who will be verifying the petitioners.

So actually the only person who will have it that didn't have it before you send it in is me.

I promise I won't memorize your address! :) I will make a backup set of petitions that I will hold until the petition I turn in is validated, then I will destroy them. I do 'carry' 24/7 and take security very seriously. Whether the petitions are here or not is a question a burglar would have to weigh. (They are secure.)

So really this comes down to just me and you. If you need a better feel for me go to www.myspsace.com/jeffr82 .

I'll be looking for your petition! :thumbup:

('cept seeing as I don't know your real name it'll be mixed in with hundreds of others!)

Oh, and BTW, my name and address is on each and every one, so you'll know who I am and where I live even though I won't know you, other than you're one of many in the stack.

Is there any reason why the petitions must go to the NRA, through you?

[Jeff82]

Is there any reason why the petitions must go to the NRA, through you?Well, I am the Sponsor...

Article IX speaks of "any voting member...in a single petition...in the manner hereinafter provided."

"any member entitled to vote...may submit...a petition in writing", "in order to be valid...such petition shall contain...of not less than 450 members"

So on and so forth. Basically all your signatures together form my "one petition." I can't submit it and know I've met the requirements of the bylaws if I can't see them and count them before I submit the "one petition" to them. If I screw something up they can blame me. They are not going to handle the administrative process of keeping, cataloging, counting, etc. as they come in a few here and a few there.

They are simply going to take the binder I turn in, validate the members, see if it meets the number requirements and declare it a valid petition or not. All the part (and work) before that is "on the sponsor." If it's not with my binder when I turn it in it won't be a part of "my petition."
