1) I truly believe that the primary mission or goal of every organization is its continued existence.
2) The secondary goal of every organization is to gain influence, power, money, etc.
3) So, if many of us withdraw our support from the Republican Party and begin to support the Libertarians, the Republicans will try to recover that lost support.
4) I maintain my NRA membership so the NRA can count me a another digit in its power base - its membership.
5) However, my donations will go to JPFO, GOA or to whomever I feel will cause the greatest block to my enemies. Also, I hope that by losing enough support, the NRA WILL get its teeth back and stop its policy of appeasement and compromise.
6) I also engage in the other support measures of reading daily newspapers, writing (& e-mailing) people and organizations, trying to convert other to our movement, buying ammunition to take others shooting, etc. etc.
7) I believe we are morally obligated to try every peaceful means, in addition to the ballot box, before we threaten to use force.
