Can't afford to join NRA?

I scraped my $25 from my E-4 pay for the NRA, is anyone willing to sponsor me for the GOA? I get out of the service in 2 months and money will get even tighter. I used my "fun money" last month to pay for my 4 year olds membership into the NRA. He turns 5 in August and I have spent my pennies to get him a Marlin 15YN. I'm almost there.
 
Back in December the NRA had a special for signing up a family member for $20. I renewed my membership and gave a guest subscription to a local radio talk show host. I called the NRA and they said I could give a membership to a non-family member.

He was a bit miffed at first and told me so in an e-mail but realized that I was not trying to be annoying when I wrote him back and told him that I was only trying to get him, as a political talk show host, info on a political subject.

I told him to throw all of the things that came with the membership away and also all subsequent mailings. All I wanted was for him to get the magazine. The reason I did this is because we got into it on the air one day over trigger locks and the NRA's position. He didn't have a clue about our position but now he at least has the information from the horses mouth.

All:

I have read your words of support here and in e-mail. Vielen Dank! (Thank you very much) You give me too much credit. I was frustrated at the failure of FOUP and looking for another way to aid RKBA.

I wonder why we at TFL never thought of this before? Let's keep this topic at or near the top of the forum list.

DOCSpanky:

Good timing - today is payday. I'd like to pick up the cost of your GOA membership as an ETS gift. Send me an e-mail, please.

This is AMAZING! As I said, when I go back to work, I'l sponsor some folks as well.

But you know, this is such a great idea, why didn't we do it long ago? And while we're at it, we should go to the OTHER RKBA boards and start the ball rolling there as well.

Strength in numbers, this is relatively cheap, and COULD spread far and wide! That would be SO GREAT!! Oh man, a MILLION new members by Internet Missionary work!

Just think of it!

(But we're the "lunatic fringe", and Klinton's gang can ignore us, right? - Insert theme from Jaws here....)
 
Would any of the sponsors be amenable to extending the offer to current annual NRA members who can't afford to renew? We need to recruit AND retain.

In the case of a renewal, I think we are justified to request that the applicant supply their NRA membership number.

Now I'm torn, I've had two offers for help in joining GOA, I will gladly accept slowpoke's offer, please continue to extend these to anyone who can't afford.

W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.

Slowpoke,

Yes, by all means we need to recruit AND RETAIN!
All of us have had hard times, and we may again, one day.
We need to help each other out, whenever we can.
Don't be afraid to speak up.

BTW, TwoGuns' $ order is on its way...

No fate but what we make...
 
I would be more than happy to sponsor a New membership to the National Rifle Association under Slowpoke's terms. While all of the other organizations and terms mentioned have merit, I feel that we must get the NRA's numbers up right now! Most of you know that I don't agree with everthing the NRA does or the way that they do it but I think that strength in numbers is very important now.
If we here of LaPierre purchasing a personal Lear Jet after this influx of new members we will know that we have a problem.

I would be most honored to be sponsored by one of you. I don't know who still has the offer available, but please consider me an applicant.

Ok, I'm in on the sponsorship gig. In fact, I'll sponsor 3 people if that will help. Just follow the aforementioned terms and send me an e-mail.
 
I'll sign someone up. All I need is a name, address, and which magazine you want (American Rifleman, American Hunter, or American Guardian). I've signed up all I know already. So if it's the $35 that's keeping you from joining I'll eliminate that obstacle. Just email me.

Join the NRA!!!
 
OK, I'll sponser one NRA membership. E-mail me name, address, and magazine choice. If it's a renewal also send membership #. I'll also sponser a GOA or JPFO membership. E-mail is on profile.
 
So where are we now?? Have we filled all of the slots?? how many remain?? I Just renewed mine for three years, and I just got a friend signed up. Brother in law is next!

Hi group,
I am an out of work electrician, let me state first of all my spelling sucks, please forgive. Any who I just wanted to ask to be considered for the scolerships. As I have already read here, I am fed up with kommee klintons b**s**t, it appears that the only way to get to him or any gov boy is out side their circle. So a member ship to any group will be used, as has been stated already now is the time more that ever. Thanks again for the offer. Please e-mail me if their are any openings, address in profile.
 
OK SamsonJ. I will get the Money Order out tomorrow to the address you provided me. Enjoy and hope you are able to get back to work soon.

regards

Geoff Ross
 
Back to the top.

An anonymous TFL member interested in preserving RKBA has made available funds for two more NRA memberships. Once all the previous offers have been accepted, I will administrate the award of these two memberships.

Anonymous, I salute you.
