1. The NRA(which I'm also a member of) played some games last election, not always endorsing the person with the best voting record(including someone that voted against CCW). They also backed a couple of bills in Lansing that give up more of our rights than we gain. We won't play games. We'll back the best person running for that office, and will remember our leaders on our issues.
2. All of our money will be used to support our rights here in Michigan. There are no salaries. We will get our money's worth from our membership dues and donations.
3. The most the NRA did election time for state candidates is send a mailing out for a couple of them, and a bumper sticker for the governor's race, and John Dingell. They also did have a phone bank for the governor's race as well. We plan on going much further than that. We'll be much more involved in state representative, state senate, judicial, and as even county level offices. We will tour clubs, be at all the gunshows, mailing, phone banks, volunteers, door to door, letters to the editor, issue advocacy, and will use any tactic to help our candidates win.
4. You will see us much more than the NRA. The NRA occasionaly has a booth at a gun show or an event. We will work hard to be at ALL the gun shows, as well as non gun events to educate the public and show who we are. We'll have grassroots meetings across the state to get our name out.
