AikiDale Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Okay, I've been listening to political adds for months and now we have it here on the forums. My solution is to nominate Eric for USPSA President. He has Tru Grip and deserves our vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 This is typical of non-profit/not-for-profit organizations. It is the board that has the power, and moral obligation to preserve the longevity of the organization, as well as being accountable to shareholders/members. I second the nomination of Eric for Prez! Standing on a platform of Tru-Grip, there's no way he could slip in the poles (mwahaha ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing on a platform of Tru-Grip, there's no way he could slip in the poles (mwahaha ) There you go! One more vote for Eric and we have a momement! We need campaign slogans next. With apologies to Rooster Cogburn we already have, "He's got Tru-Grip." I'll also suggest, "In your heart you know he's bright." This has all the makings of a real brass-roots movement.

EricW Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Can a moderator please either nuke this thread in its entirety or delete the "plugs." It wasn't the point of starting it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ZuZu for president! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 See? He's humble and considerate too! Eric AND Zuzu for President! This could rank right up there with the TP thread before long.... The thread was hijacked however and rather than nuking it please just split out Eric for Prez campaign if any change is needed.

ErikW Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Oh great, this means I'm gonna get elected by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm sorry but I can't resist.... If you accidentally become president, maybe you'll find a sponsor? If you can't count on your friends to kick you when you're down, who can you count on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Zuzu will be running for Prez and promises to nominate me for veep. Shameless campaign promises from the pooch: - Free Ammo for all - Free Beer at matches - Free dog hair on everyone's pants legs - Elimination of the Classification System - Nationals matches become postal matches so nobody has to drive. - Free airfare to the World Shoot for everyone - Free Cookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ara Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm Ara Maljian and I approve this message. Eric for President! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 This is getting complicated. If Erik accidentally gets elected and he gets a sponsor will he get boobs? If he gets boobs and gets elected will we have a boob for president? If we get a boob for president won't we wish we had elected Eric in the first place? (That didn't sound right). Maybe Eric, Erik and Zuzu should be elected to share the office. I seem to remember precedent for a Triumvirate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Elect Eric. He might be abrasive, but he'll stick to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Run the two Eric/k's platform. Erik does the industry glad-handing and stumping as a multi-card M/GM level shooter should and Eric runs the board meetings like we all know he will ;-) Best of both worlds here, a prez who has the skill set to actually beat Robby in a match and a prez with really strong opinions that a lot of us agree with. I say "Both Coach"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Zuzu will be running for Prez and promises to nominate me for veep. So, you're running for the Board of Directors, and you're confident you'll have the election in the bag? 'cause Zuzu will have to nominate a Veep from the elected members of the BOD......

Chuck Anderson Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Jeez Eric, I never realized there were this many people that hated you on the Forum. I can't imagine anyone wanting to step into the president position and have to deal with the BOD and try to make all the members happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other month you get to write an open letter to every member of USPSA in Front Sight and pitch Tru Grip. Zuzu can herd the cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) I ain't votin' for him til he gets TruGrip for M&P Did you finally get one? And if you are elected, will you remove all terrible turtles from classifiers? Edited November 1, 2006 by Pharaoh Bender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I ain't votin' for him til he gets TruGrip for M&P Now I know why you sold me your XD TruGrip. Or is it because a certain sweet young thing shoots an M&P that you got rid of the XD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
