Just bumping this up, because the fight is not over.  The election is over, but we need to live and fight through the next years.  We also need to prepare for the next election cycle.  We need to be proactive for the next time around, because I'm sure those coming into office off this vote will screw something up to help us beyond the initial hurt.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

I increased my membership to the EPL earlier this year and signed my wife up for an annual a couple months ago. My son turned 18 in October and he got a Beretta 92FS for his birthday (technically mine until he's 21) and he's geting a 5 yr NRA membership for Christmas. Think I'll sign Mom up for Christmas also.

Excellent.  Good idea on the 5 year for the wife...I think I should do the same!

Today I actually got off my butt and got my family NRA associate memberships. Wife and 4 kids. While I was doing it I actually had two other people tell me two sign them up for regular memberships and a third get the web address to do it. All told that makes 9 new members from me. Of course 5 were mine.  ::) Oh well, numbers are numbers.

And I wonder what the numbers are since 11/5/08. NRA has nothing on their site about any increase in memberships since the election.

OK guys....it's payday today.  Chip in if you can.  Gasoline price is falling so maybe you can drop a buck or two on the NRA.

Also....have ya'll downloaded their toolbar yet.  I've used it to search with no failures, not conflicts, no slowdowns on my computer and...in two weeks raised over $3 just by searching the web with it....  It costs nothing and you don't have to be a member.

If you can't find it send me a PM and I'll send you something to get you set up on it.

Got this alert in an e-mail today from the NRA.
I figured I'd post it here instead of starting a new thread, so it would bump up this one again.


**** Alert *** Alert *** Alert ****

Dear Fellow NRA Member,

In the next few days, you'll receive your new NRA membership card.

The moment you receive it, I urge you to validate your new membership card as soon as possible. More than ever, we need you to stand with NRA and fight to save our Second Amendment freedoms. Because Barack Obama's campaign promise not to take away our guns is a lie. He's not even in office, yet he's fired the opening salvos in a war against the future of the Second Amendment, our hunting and shooting traditions, and YOU.

Obama's FIRST attack on YOU: Appointing Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be White House Chief of Staff. In Congress, Emanuel earned an "F" rating from NRA, and while working in the Clinton Administration, he was known as the "point man on gun control." He is an avowed enemy of the Second Amendment and will wield enormous power in the battle for the future of our firearm freedoms.

Obama's SECOND attack on YOU: If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State, she'll rip the Second Amendment right out of the Bill of Rights. She'll be our nation's top diplomat with the power to determine whether the United Nations will pass, and Obama will sign, a global gun ban treaty that will surrender our Second Amendment rights and our national sovereignty.

Obama's THIRD attack on YOU: Nominating ex-Senator and former Majority Leader Tom Daschle-an avowed enemy of NRA-to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. NRA was responsible for defeating Daschle when he ran in South Dakota for re-election to the Senate. If Daschle is confirmed, he could hold the ultimate power to declare guns a "public health menace" and regulate away our essential liberties.

Obama's FOURTH attack on YOU: Nominating Eric Holder to be Attorney General. As former Assistant Attorney General, Holder was a key architect and vocal advocate for the Clinton era's sweeping gun ban agenda. He supported national handgun licensing, mandatory trigger locks, and ending gun shows as we know them.
Just recently, Holder opposed the District of Columbia's Heller decision that declared the Second Amendment an individual right. Holder also called for reviving the Clinton gun bans and, as Attorney General, would fight in court to prevent the landmark Heller decision from being made applicable to state and local governments.
Worst of all, if Holder is confirmed as the nation's top law-enforcement officer, he would control BATFE and wield enormous power to harass gun owners and sue America's arms makers out of existence.

Obama's FIFTH attack on YOU: In the job application for the Obama Administration, he made it clear that gun owners are second-class citizens and told 80 million gun owners not to even bother applying for a job. In the "White House Personnel Data Questionnaire" he asked:

           "Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide
           complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever
           lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has
           been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage."


This chilling notice to gun owners-that they are not welcome to serve in his Administration-shows the deep hostility for Americans' Second Amendment Freedoms that Obama and his Administration have in their hearts.
On its face, that question endorses gun registration-a mandate in only five states in our nation-and buys into the anti-gun premise that firearms are inherently dangerous and gun owners are prone to misusing them.

That's an outrageous mindset, especially for the President-elect whose sworn duty will be to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including our right to keep and bear arms.

Obama CLEARLY wants to make gun registration the law of the land.

First for employees under his control...AND THEN FOR YOU.

Working with a Congress dominated by gun haters like Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Henry Waxman, and Charles Schumer!!!

Rubbing salt in gun owner wounds is the Brady Campaign, which just issued a completely bogus poll claiming that two-thirds of the Americans-including 60% of all gun owners-favor gun registration, licensing of firearm owners, and other sweeping restrictions on our firearm freedoms!

Add it all up and you have the potential for a Second Amendment disaster that's unlike any other NRA members have ever battled.

That's why we need the strongest possible commitment from EVERY NRA member, starting today.
That's why I'm hoping you'll validate your new NRA membership card the moment you receive it.

Because our greatest strength is you.

Only by working with you can NRA hold the line against these threats from every quarter. We are the one force that has the strength to keep Americans free and our rights intact for future generations. With you at our side, we will fight and we will prevail against all odds.

Thank you for your loyalty to NRA and the cause of Freedom.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Since I am a student I don't have a lot of disposable income. But I saw the "Make Payments" and my wife told me I should join. I am glad that I did.

Remarkably, I don't feel any different...I guess I was expecting change...I guess you have to vote for Obama to get that.  ;)

It's on.  See the Blair Holt push.



Thanos, you're a good man.  We need many more good men and women in the ranks of the NRA .
