    I'm putting my money where my mouth is, will you?

    Lots of talk about the record NRA membership applications, and how every gun owner in America ought to be one. It came to my attention yesterday that one of our members can't afford the dues. If he'll accept it, and the staff doesn't object, I'd like to start a small collection for Gray Wolf so he can join the NRA or another pro-gun lobbying organization of his choice.

    I put up $5, and TCFAN also volunteered $5. A few more and we'll have it, any extra I'd ask Gray Wolf to forward to the organization or if his wife is agreeable to it perhaps sponsor her as well.

    I'm planning on sending money directly to him, our history here with "Sam" is solid.

    Thanks, 462. Right now I'd just like to get commitments until I hear back from Sam, he might not want to give out his address willy-nilly, but I figured just a few of us friends is all it would take and nobody would have to honcho the donation.

    You can send the money directly to the NRA to gift him a membership for $20 right now.

    I wondered about that, I was looking at their site a couple of hours ago and figured if nothing else the Mrs and I (or someone else if he'd prefer) could just sign him up and pay for it. If it's $20 to gift it, one more $5 donation and we can sign Julie for a year as well if she wants.

    Looks like it's done. I got here late. Had to figure out how to disable Java. If you need more let me know.

    There is a special going on now for $300 and the toll free number is 1-888-678-7894. There is a thread on it at the bottom of the page after swapping & selling in either the Political or Humor section.

    It is in the Swapping & Selling Section!

    This is a good idea but I think it would work much smoother were you to get all the needed info from Sam & wife and sign them up as opposed to scattered donations and sam sending info to many people.

    I'll kick in as well, post here if your going to honcho it. I think I still have your address in a PM.

    By the way, did you get your boolits?

    Well men I am honored,
    I sure do accept the invitation. I want to show as much support as everyone else.
    I was gonna put a few more of my bullets up for the fee but the supply is to low.
    This is great and I will proudly put up the sticker near my avatar.
    Just tell me what you want me to do.
    Remember Men, I am 71 in another month. But I can still make muster and fall in.

    Well, I got to this thread a little late, but congrats to you guys for doing this. And like 2WheelDuke said, any of you that are already NRA members, if you have not gone up on their site, you can gift a membership. So if you know someone who might like to be a member, but can't, this is the time to give. I've already signed up a son-in-law and a friend of mine that I found out were not members.

    So Congrats to Gray Wolf, and to Geargnasher and the others for sponsoring him. Just another reason this site is the best.
