That is a pretty good idea!!! I would approve a monthly charge. I do it with all kinds of stuff. Then they could quit spending money sending me mail every month asking for donations. I hope they take into consideration! :thumbs2:

I'll see how things go as far as not getting trash mail from the NRA. I really want to see my funds go toward more important things other than renewal notices. I've seen enough replies on this topic that my mind has changed . . . didn't think that would happen when I started this topic. :shock:

When I signed up for a one-year membership at the time, I was hit with multiple renewal offers BEFORE I even received the first issue of the magazine. Those offers continued throughout the one-year membership. And those offers continued for a time after the expiration of the one-year membership. It seemed my membership fee was being redirected right back toward me on wasted printing and postage costs instead of more important issues.

Anthing changed since?
No disrespect, but if your joining the NRA for the magazine then you are joining for the wrong reason. I, like you was a member in the early '90s. I re-joined in November on a two year membership. I think the NRA Needs as many members as it can get for the next 2 years to fend off the attacks on the 2A. In lieu of a $300 lifetime (a good deal), I signed up 10 people in my family @ the $25.00 membership. Level. Since I've signed up I have received multiple email updates on the current state of affairs, and they have asked for monetary help. I can't blame them though, because I think we are in the fight of our life. :cheers2:
