Just a few minutes ago, I renewed my NRA membership and, for the first time, I signed up with Gun Owners of America. It was online and it was easy. The hardest part was going upstairs to get my wallet.
Like some of you, money is tight for my family right now and the last thing I wanted to do was drop almost $50 to join those two groups -- but I did it. Are these groups perfect? Probably not. But they are the partners we have to dance with right now and we can not afford to sit this one out!
If you follow the NRA link at shootingusa.com (NRA Membership) you can get the NRA annual membership for $25. (usually it is $35)
GOA is only $20, and is similarly easy to join: Annual Membership
If $25 for the NRA is too much for you, I understand. Take up the GOA offer at $20. If $20 too much for you, I understand. If this is the case, do you have someone in your household under the age of 18? If you do, give them a Junior membership to JPFO, it is only $18: Shop.JPFO.org (and no, you do not need to be Jewish to join)
Here's the Miguel challenge...
If ten people will register or renew a membership in either the NRA, GOA or JPFO, and confirm that by posting in this thread by midnight tonight, I will sign up for a JPFO membership, too. If that means me, Mrs. Migel and the youth members of Team Miguel eat pancakes for a couple of days this week, so be it!
I further challenge each of you to spread this challenge ("public radio/television" style!) to your friends on other message boards or at your club's firing line.
