NOW!!!!

[NJJim 37]

Now is the time to put up or shut up!

If you have not joined the NRA, GOA, SAF, NJ2AS, JPFO or donate to similar organizations, now is the time to do so! If you are already a member at one, donate additional dollars or join an additional organization.

 

I know there are members here that don't like the NRA but I think at this time they are the best shot to fight the attempts to take our firearms.

Become a life member through a current life member. Any life member can sign you up for a $300.00 life membership right now. If you are already a life member step up to Endowment for $250.00.

 

This anti-gun stuff has to be shut down now. No compromises!

 

Don't respond to this post except to tell how you contributed.

 

Don't forget February 8th at the State House. Be there!!

 

I may have spoken too soon on the upgrades to membership. Looks like the $300.00 deal is for new members only. I'm trying to verify and will clarify as soon as possible.

 

13:15 I just spent about fifteen minutes trying to get clarification from NRA and was told I could sign up anyone for the reduced rate with a gift membership. I am not completely convinced though. My paper notice sent through snail mail does not have any disclaimers but the web page does.

You know, I am a life member and think I'll upgrade my wife to one as well as my Daughter as soon as I get home today..

 

Good post and hope it gives other people the idea to do the same.

 

just imagine is every NRA member was able to just get 1 new person to join this week, not likely, but sure as heck isn't something that couldn't be done..

[notmetoo 41]

Upgraded my GOA membership to lifetime. Gifted two GOA memberships. Donated to SAF.

Will be extending my NRA membership very soon (anyone know of any lifetime deals?) and donating additional $$ to NJ2AS.

[cutterOne 0]

Signed up for a lifetime membership the day the NRA gave it's comments on the CT incident. Gonna be signing the wife up too. Registered for the Feb. 8th. rally in Trenton, and have written the politicians on multiple occasions.

I am new at this, but:

 

Join: NRA, GOA, NJ2AS

 

Write/email/call/fax you reps. I don't care if it is lautenberg, send him TWO of each. Let your voice be heard. When I get back to my desk I will post the NRA-ILA page to contact your reps. Let your voice be heard loud and clear.

To add on that, I recommend everyone take the time to set up a mail merge list in MS Word with names & mailing addresses of all applicable government representatives. Having a saved list will make it easier to promptly draft fresh sets of letters each time another unacceptable bill is proposed/voted on/etc and demands a response.

[MarkWVU02 47]

I joined the NRA and GOA in December. Would donate more money if I had it. Will contact representatives, I have a letter drafted at home I've been working on. I think tonight is the night to finish it and get it out.

[Sigman 41]

Just extended my membership.

[Tactical Monkey 51]

Extended NRA for 3 more years, signed the wife up for NRA annual, joined SAF, and donated to NJ2AS (already a member).

Ok and with all this additional income they've recieved ... What's happening?.... Are they on the offensive?... Are the reaching out to members organizing rallies?.... Doing anything?... Daily internal meetings?... Maybe...all the while all you see and hear are how Americans are begging for these laws to protect us from the ebr's and now all firearms it seems.... Maybe after whatever bs scumbaba and clan shove up our a** ... With All the donations NRA will buy another tv spot and have another weak sorry " press conference" disagreeing with the law ... And vow to not settle... And disappear again.... Until they start hounding for renewals... I'm not "anti NRA".... But Wth are they waiting for ?! It's frustrating to see nothing happening for our side...

Unless you are a NRA board member, I don't see why any of us would be informed of each and every thing the NRA is doing behind the curtains. If they were to have frequent press conferences, the liberal media would pick apart and twist every word out of their mouths as they have in the past, and use it against us. The whole purpose of lobbying is to sway or influence the decisions made by government officials. They wont accomplish that by giving press conferences.

 

As for memberships, I'm already a member of the NRA, NJ2AS, & GOA and will be signing my wife up shortly.

i dont expect a daily emailed itinerary...but i would think that some of the low on the totem pole could be delegated to forwarding emails to members for organized rallies and such in larger numbers than the antis.....oh well hopefully the "lobbying" will work...but im not sold that any politician can be trusted to follow through on back room deals...

That's the only thing I trust them to follow through on.

Great post Jim. I made my wife a life member and signed up two people today from the forum for life membership. One was already a member of the NRA, so they don't need to be a new member.

 

Also, they are running a promo right now and have a number dedicated to the $300 life membership.

 

I think it's 877-672-2015. Have to look it up.

I will look into becoming an endowment member for $250. I got the flyer prior to the election but wanted to sign my wife up first.

 

Did you become an endowment member Jim?

[matty 810]

Where you been, sleepin' ? Waayyy ahead of ya

Already a member. It may not be enough.

2013: Resist or Disarm. Start deciding now what form your resistance will take.

 

"The meek, he had been told, would inherit the earth, but only when the last soldier left it to them in his will." -- Captain Richard Sharpe, in Sharpe's Company by Bernard Cornwell, Chapter 10.

Piece of Mind.

Sebastian, the ultimate pragmatist, has presented his read on the bills now entered, or about to be entered, into Congress: "We have a lot of work to do on the magazine issue. Most people, at this point, even pundits and elites, know the “assault weapons” issue is a crock of shit. The magazine issue is a different story." I left this comment on his blog which was not approved:

It doesn't matter what they pass, enough of us will defy it to make the choice mandatory for the rest of you. Fight or disarm.

Sebastian and other Fudd "pragmatists" may continue to hide from this reality if they choose, but J.D. Longstreet understands this in his piece

The Next American Civil War:

At first glance it appears to be lunacy of the highest order—and yet—here we are on the cusp of violence to defend something the political left, an authoritarian cabal itself, cannot abide, AT ALL: personal freedom, individual freedom. . .

And now they intend to disarm us.

Look. There is so much pent-up anger in America today that if this argument over gun control ever gets beyond the talking stage it is reasonable to believe there will be violence on a scale not seen since the 1860’s in this country.

These fears are reinforced by the promises of the antis to

'pry guns from cold, dead fingers'.

But the time has not come to begin shooting -- yet. Feinstein's Intolerable Act has not yet passed, let alone begun to be enforced. The raid parties are not yet forming. However, the time HAS come for each of us to decide what form our resistance will take.

Some of us, myself included, are already on the public stage so we might as well dance. For us, the struggle will be a political one of letters, demonstrations, passive and active resistance designed to put the regime on notice that this line they have drawn will not be crossed without further resistance, even righteous, justifiable self-defense of our lives, liberty and property. We shall be the rattlesnake's rattle, the low growl of the wolverine, saying "Don't tread on me." Our job is to put them on notice so that they don't blunder uninformed into this civil war that the unintended consequences of their actions will spark. Our job will be to get in their faces and say plainly, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you." This is the same moral requirement that we would be under if a convicted home invader and rapist out on parole met us in the street and announced that he was coming to our home that night to rob, rape and kill. Would we be justified in killing him on the spot? No. But we would be obligated to warn him that if he attempts it we will kill him. Those who also have a record of robbing and raping the Founders' republic and killing its citizens to work their will upon them deserve the same sort of warning.

Some of us will also be doing political work, but behind the scenes, doing such things as privately putting each of our county sheriffs and other politicians on the spot -- here is the Intolerable Act, will you enforce it or help us resist it?

Others of us, the majority I suspect, will simply be the hidden core of resistance, using the intervening time by seeing to their own training and logistics, awaiting the day when the Feds, having lost patience with those of us who publicly defy them, finally begin killing us. These will be the folks who will execute a Fourth Generation civil war upon the tyrant's leadership -- and only them to the greatest extent possible -- with the target of breaking their will as they prosecute their treasonable war against the Founders' republic. They are willing to fight to the last ATF agent and local policeman to enforce their will. But it will be by their own aggression, and the 4GW reaction to it, that we will then discover if they are willing to fight to the first Senator, the second congressman, the third White House aide, the fourth editor, the fifth Hollywood propagandist using Bill Clinton's revised rules of engagement against the Serb's in 1999. Unintended consequences indeed.

It will be the time of

One Hundred Heads,

may God spare us all from its horrors.

The point is that each of us must decide now what form our resistance will take. Either that, or prepare to disarm. Time is just about up. Those who are busy subverting the Founders' republic have told us so.

"Son, you don't poke a wolverine with a sharp stick unless you want your balls ripped off." -- Grandpa Vanderboegh.

Yes.

Upgraded to Endowment Life Member and signed the wife up for Life Membership a few days ago.

I also upgraded to endowment yesterday! I have 6 spots for 300 bucks I think if you'd like to join NRA as a life member pm me

[JrzyGuy30 0]

Just re-upped my NRA membership. Considering signing my wife up but not sure if she'd be to delighted with that idea since she's 50/50 on firearms. Hmmmmmm

[MicroMag 0]

Joined SAF and donated to NRA-ILA. Remember that the NRA can't use your membership money for political purposes. You need to specifically donate to NRA-ILA for that.

[Combat Auto 174]

Made a large donation to the NRA.

[raz-0 1,259]

Just out of curiosity WHY are you people upgrading membership? Membership dues can't be used for lobbying. Unless you have a non voting membership and want a voting one, there isn't much reason to form an activism standpoint. You are better off taking the cost of upgrading and cutting a check to the NRA-ILA who CAN use that check to lobby. I'm not sure if membership dollars can now be used for PAC stuff, but it is not an election year.

more members = more voice, simply
