Believe or not the NRA was instrumental in Getting Harry Reid and Bernie Sanders elected
At the time they were both pro private gun ownership. Vermont is pro-gun. The NRA was right on that.

I figured once I got to Benefactor level they'd leave me alone. Hell, the invented new classes to try to pry more money out of me for Wayne's dumb African trips, bespoke suits and homes. Same deal here. You'd think they'd know we were Benefactor level members. But, still getting hustled for money, perks, etc. They just throw the net, don't care who they snare. They don't even have my suit size. But, I'm sure Wayne's tailor has his. DF

My gun club requires NRA membership as well, but it's a bitter pill to swallow.
Feeling pretty good, however, about having joined GOA a couple of months ago.

When I hear the opposition complain about the GOA I will join but I always hear the opposition complaining about the NRA. Frankly, I hear more NRA members complaining about the NRA. They could have fixed this years ago, and been the strongest group of gun owner's rights advocates in history. But they divided the ranks and continued to do so. I'll not give them one more nickel as long as WLP is there. My donations and extra money go to the GOA now. I hear about what the GOA is doing to make a difference. All I hear about the NRA is that they need more money from me.

Likely, Wayne appointed more than half of the board.

I guess they didn't get the message the previous two times I told them I was done. As long as they continue to send postage paid envelopes I'll keep trying to help them get a clue. Nice...👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣

I write the same response minus the expletives.

Membership for gun club requirement. This year the president complained about those of us who renew in February so now I have to start renewing a year in advance. It was voted on last year and was kept. A few members are starting to question the constant rubber stamping of monies spent by the club.
Back to NRA. It reminds me of lots of businesses with their raffles , contests, and smoke.

I'm a lifetime Benefactor member and I don't hate the NRA. I think over the years they have done us gun owners some good, but right now their leadership stinks and needs to go!!! Until they clean house I too right them notes and send them in with their pre paid envelope. Not another dime from me until WLP is gone!!
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Yes, get rid of that POS Wayne. The unfortunate way the NRA is evidently structured, seems WLP is the NRA, with top down governance. The Board appears more window dressing than governance. Ideally the Board should have the power, hire and fire CEO’s like most corporate structures. IMO, WLP will ride this one into the ground. If he really loved the NRA, he’d bow out. Don’t see that happening. WLP loves WLP, evidently not much else matters to him. DF

For presence, I think every last gun owner should be an NRA member. Even if only an annual one.
There are other good or better groups out there and I urge every gun owner to support those as much as they can.
Not supporting NRA doesn't make good sense to me. But they don't get extra.... anyone can afford an annual.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I have sent them almost exactly the same note. They obviously don't get it because I continue to receive their garbage.

I dropped until they fire Wayne. Wrote that on last renewal statement. A shame I was a member for almost 40 years.
