NRA - Join the NRA - Bonus Offer

I'm already a member ... but, if I read it correctly, the NRA is offering a free 1 year membership with the magazine of your choice.

 

and a letter every other day requesting $20 donations to help them fight government on certain topics. If they used the registration fee and advertising money wisely they wouldnt need any extra money but instead they spend it on daily letters and garbage mail.
I was a member 10 years ago and then never renewed my membership. last year I joined up again because I felt like I wasnt helping the cause. Then finally remembered why I didnt renew. I got at least a face cord of mail a week from them asking for this and that.
I would be happy to just give them $20 a year and receive nothing, no magazines or membership priveledges nothing. Just fight our cause without the friggen billions of dollars of mail

sorry I just lost faith in them fawkers

 

I am sure that the NRA will be happy to accept an anonymous donation. I agree it is discouraging to receive tons of mail from them soliciting donations, but they are easy enough to throw in the trash.

Part of the NRA's strength comes from numbers of members.

With the anti-gunners at the helm, the NRA needs to have increased numbers of members.

No other organization does more for gun rights than the NRA.

 

I've not received 5 pieces of mail from em in over a year. Not to mention, who actually forces you to open anything extra they send??? If you don't like it, just chuck em in the garbage and send em a e-mail asking to be removed from there mailing list, is that to hard to do????

Besides, don't you actually think the NRA might make enough money in returns to cover the millings (if they actually send out that much) while making money to fight expensive court battles for your gun rights.

How many FUDDS own guns, but do nothing to contribute to keeping them and fighting against current laws and band except bashing the NRA and talking **** about getting to much mail from em.

I do get the NRA-ILA e-mail alerts since I signed up for em and they have good stuff on the website (both of em)

Not to mention nobody else in the pro 2ds A arena is as powerful or has the backing/political clout that they do & nobody has made the changes or court challenges they have.

So, in summary, start thinking for yourself and do something to protect the 2nd amendment and all gun owners rights.........................

 

Thanks for posting. The link has found it's way to my email "out" box.

 

its not the mail that bothers me.
it costs tons of money to send out mass letters soliciting money. They could save the money and then they wouldnt have to solicit for extra $$.
Sorry but the NRA isnt as straight as they used to be and most are just as crooked as washigton.
Dont get me wrong, I want to protect my second amendment, but when I see money being used unwisely it makes me reconsider my membership.
its not just throwing it in the garbage its throwing a dollar away for every letter.

 

If they weren't getting a lot of money from people sending extra donations from all the mailings that they were doing, I don't think they would continue to mail anything out.
(Example)
If they mailed out a 500,000 letters, it would only cost (about) 10 cents per letter that would be (about) $50,000 dollars to mail those. Lets say that only 10,000 people respond with a $5.00 donation, well then they break even, but lets say they get 100,000 people to donate $5.00, that would be $500,000 dollars.


I became a life-time member years ago, and I haven't received but a couple of mailings in the mail, they do e-mail me quite a bit, but that doesn't cost anything except the cost of the webhost.
When you sign up for a membership, it gives you the option on how you would like to be contacted, and if you un-check mail and only check e-mail, they don't send you anything. (besides a couple of things)

(just my two cents)

 

Sweet! Thanks

 

how does it only cost $.10? the cost of paper, plastic, stamps, labor to stuff the envelopes ect. there is more than a dollar a letter thats if there isnt any fancy brochures or cheap metal medallion or something.
the reason why you dont get anything is because they cant get any more out of you. You're a life member. Those that arent get 5-10 letters a week asking for money and trying to get me to sign up for a life membership
sorry but the cost is more than that. to me 1 letter a month would be more efficient.

the one letter that pissed me off the most was one for the local NRA to fight against specific congressman. they wanted me to sent them 100-500 dollars for them to plead our cause. uh hello, thats why I fawking joined the NRA so I can sign the ballots needed to fight for the second amendment. instead they send out wasteful paper. Sorry guys but you are blind if you think they get enough donations to pay for all of their endevors. Just think how much money they would have if they didnt send half of the garbage.

Now I dont want to let this thread off topic but wastful spending agrivates me especially when I donate money I dont really have to spare.
I will sign up again but every letter I get makes me furious.

First of all, you can opt out of NRA mailings, just call them, you don't wait on hold, you talk to a person, very easy. Dial 1-800-672-3888... and tell them to shut off all of your promotions.

Now you should have no complaints.

BTW, it is illegal to use membership dues for political activities, including supporting candidates or lobbying. All that money comes from fundraising. 2 different pots of money.
