NRA/TSRA membership question

Post by **Skiprr** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 3:26 pm

And just a follow-on that there are several ways to contribute cash beyond just your membership dues, some painless.

In another thread, I mentioned (maybe late last year) that my company has a political action committee, and it will match my contribution, dollar for dollar, to any valid 501(c)(3). I chose the NRA Foundation. So without my doing a thing or spending another dime, the NRA Foundation gets a bonus three-figures a year from me. If you contribute to a PAC, I encourage you to ask about its matching policy.

In addition, if you want to make a direct contribution to the NRA Foundation, your company may be a matching donor. Check this URL for options, and how to see if your company is a matching participant: http://www.nrafoundation.org/giving/. Your donation is tax deductible, and your company may make it go twice as far.

And don't forget the simple "round-up" program that Midway USA offers; I wish others would do this. When I order from Midway, I always accept the round-up-plus-a-dollar option. Painless, but if everybody does it, it really adds up.

If you're an NRA instructor, you have the option to contribute a round-up to the general fund on all online purchases, as well.

I'm having a slight problem. I've looked on the TSRA page and read this forum and may have missed it, but I can't find the membership cost.

The online membership form will gladly accept your credit card but they don't tell you how much before you hit the <Submit> button.

When you select membership term, the fees are displayed. It's $25 for one year, $65 for three.

Also, sign up any junior members (Sons, Daughters, Nieces, Nephews, the neighbors kids, your favorite pet) that you can think of.

It is very inexpensive and every little bit helps.

My Lab has been dead for over a year now, but I'm thinking about signing him up!

Signing up others is great, because it boosts the membership numbers. Membership is important for a lobbying organization.

If you don't have any relatives to sign up, you can just buy tickets to the raffles.

Mars & I are hesitant to sign up our siamese cat. He tends to become violent for little or no reason, and he could make the rest of our NRA pets look bad.

Typical Siamese, I had three of them growing up. All of them were big 'ol rascals too!

Everyone knows you can't trust cats with guns.

He's probably just shooting Blue-Jays.

Cat knows what he's doing though: Bolt action, Bull barrel, Tactical thumb hole stock, Sunshade on scope, rigged for a Harris bi-pod.

I caught Ping sniffing my 1911 while whispering, "Hmmm. I wonder if this will take care of my little dog problem." Nope, I will not do that to TSRA.

Is he a Rangers fan?

I think that's a Mouser action.

Cause I didn't think of it first.

Venus Pax I thought Kevin made a good point , but I was wondering if
Ping might have been looking for his coke classic or does he like sprite. ANYWAY I BELIEVE you are not feeding him/or her enough.
