I like what they stand for, but I wish I could turn-off their advertising. I haven't decided whether I will renew again (signed-up for 3 years maybe last year) but I doubt at this point that even if I DON'T renew that they will stop pestering me.

but I will probably stick with NRA-ILA notifications, and we'll see what others come down-the-pipe. Doing the "click here" at the bottom of emails I find annoying seems a better approach than just calling and unlisting from everything, so long as the Lyris ListManager requests get honored.
So far so good.
When I first joined, i remember the FLOOD of snailmail. Really cheesed me. harassment, I thought.
Two phone calls and it stopped almost immediately.
Call #1 to NRA member services shut off all the NRA mail
Call #2 to the organization that handles all the insurance offers with the NRA logo got that spigot turned off.
Not sure why the second call was necessary, but it was.
I now get the occasional email (maybe 3-4 per month) and the occasional snailmmail (maybe 1-2 per month in addition to the magazine). Most of them for things I kept myself on the list to receive. It was pretty easy to turn it all off, but I understand the annoyance in having to make the effort to do so. Opt-in would be a better policy when you're paying to become a member.
Still... worth the minor annoyance.
