The Constitution is on its last legs and the Democratic Administration is about to bury it completely.. Obama has always let us know he wants a progressive living constitution and it looks like he is well on his way to getting it. If they can infinge the 2nd amendment what is the point of the others ?
The dumbing down of the populace is nearly complete, reality TV wins again , think Bread and Circuses!
Thanks! Renewing my lapsed membership and signing my wife up as well. She's never been a member before due to cost.Abraham wrote:Thomas,
I had to call the NRA and the very nice lady told me that yes, either you can give them a credit card no. over the phone for the $10.00 membership or she should could mail me the paper work as an alternative to a credit card payment i.e., allowing me to send in a money order, check, etc.for membership
Like you though, I couldn't find the $10.00 membership on the website. I just happen to know about it.
I believe a significant number of folks balk at the $35.00 cost...
In my opinion, the $10.00 membership cost would significantly increase the numbers of those willing to join - if that much lower cost was better known.
