Nominee for NRA person of the year;
Hot lead for warm beer
St. Louis woman shoots husband dead for giving her tepid brew, cops say

It just gives me a warm feeling to know that with all of our rights as US citizens being eroded or down right stolen from us, there is one organization who promotes and protects little old ladies who stand up for their one remaining right, that being the right to drink a cold one without any lip from their spouse. Granny! If you can hear me, keep your head up and remember, if just ONE faithful NRA member gets on your jury, you'll be home before spring sipping that Stag.

2. Who else but Hugh S. Johnson?


Hugh Samuel Johnson (1882 - 1942) American soldier and National Recovery Administration official.

He was born in Kansas in 1882. After graduating from the United States Military Academy in 1903, Johnson became an officer in the US Army. Johnson served under General John J. Pershing in Mexico during 1916 and the following year became deputy provost marshal general in Washington.

When the United States entered the First World War, Johnson helped draft the Selective Service Act. By 1918 Johnson had reached the rank of brigadier general. His main duty was coordinating Army's purchases with the War Industries Board. He retired in 1919 and became an executive of Moline Plow Company. He left to become an advisor to Bernard Baruch in 1927, and campaigned for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.

In 1933 Roosevelt appointed Johnson to administer part of the National Recovery Administration (NRA). This involved organizing thousands of businesses under codes drawn up by trade associations and industries. He was recognized for his efforts when Time Magazine named the colorful New Dealer Man of the Year of 1933.


NRA - We Do Our Part!
