Dear Gentleman (and ladies),
My name is Michael Ward. I am one of the principals of Rohrbaugh Firearms. I, and I hope several of the gun enthusiasts in these United States are concerned, appropriately, with the potential detriment to the 2nd amendment and gun enthusiasts in general with this new administration's mentality to firearms ownership.
I feel that the best way to improve the quality of life for gun enthusiasts is to have person(s) who are willing to committ their time effort and energy. Not many people are willing to pursue this committement and I feel that the NRA is a great sounding board and a political arm against the anti-gun community.
George Kollitides is the managing director of the Freedom Group, an offshoot of Cerberus dedicated to the firearms industry and maintaining the 2 nd amendent and it's associated verbiage. I would like to take this time to endorse his position in the upcoming elections.
He is committed to maintain the freedom for up coming generations.

Although only life members are eligible to vote for board members, I just want everyone to realize that there are people willing to put their opinion on the line and mean it.
Thank you for your time.
Very truly yours,
