HAH! Yeah, I goofed. 4%, then. I guess we’re the IV%ers.Your decimal needs to be moved over two places, but even 4% isn’t even close to enough to make any real impact.

Piss and moan all you want about a math problem that doesn't matter.
Get more people to join.
I actually appreciated it, as it's been on my list of things to do.
Then after thinking about it, I wondered how they got my name and address.
If they bought a mailing list from any of the clubs I belong to, It bothered me that anyone could obtain that info for a small fee. Then I started to get paranoid and wondered just how they got my info.
Anyone know?
This hits the nail on the head.About as useful as they can be with the pathetically tepid support they get from MA gun owners. I’m not 100% current with the membership numbers but maybe 10% of MA gun owners are members of GOAL. They’re a minority of a minority. Their voting block is minuscule yet they become the focus of gun owner’s anger every time our legislators f*** us over. You want to really make a difference? Get everyone you know to join. You think Wallace is ineffective? Give him some ammo (ie voters). Guess what? The legislature doesn’t give a shit about you, the Constitution or your values. They care about being re-elected. You want them to listen to you? Give GOAL the votes to make a difference.

To bring it round to OP, why don't you call GOAL and ask them?

Oh, so that's where they spend their money on printing and mailing. I was wondering why they have not sent my card or some proof of membership, even after a reminder...
Oh Boy!
LOL, I like them and appreciate their mission but a little housekeeping is in order. Hell, even an electronic membership document is OK.
You must have missed the member login in that lets you print that all important membership document....

Me too.I just got one too, yesterday. But, I threw it in the trash.
I am already a member.
GOAL hasn't sent out membership cards for years. A number of emails (or snail mails) have been sent in the intervening period with instructions on how to print a membership card for yourself.LOL, I like them and appreciate their mission but a little housekeeping is in order.

Here you go:
Go to the GOAL website and click on the Member Login link on the top. You'll go here: gomembers On Demand
Log in with your email address, then click on the "Membership" link near the top-middle of the page. You will be taken to a page that indicates your mebership status.
In with this info, you'll see a link that reads "Download Certificate". Click on it, then print the resulting word doc.
You know them door prizes and put me on the coupon mailing list at gun shows.
Ding Ding Ding
That's how they got your name.
Guess so- they could have informed me of that. In years past I've always received something from them. A minor complaint, but justified after asking twice.
Regarding the "all important membership document", You ever heard of CMP? Probably not or you would not be taking the classic NES immature 'let's not miss an opportunity to shit on someone' for something you perceive to be of zero value.
No. GOAL doesn't get that info.
This mailing was done for GOAL by the NRA from their lists (and they paid for it). They used "scrubbing" software that was supposed to filter you out If you're already a GOAL member. If you got one anyway it's because something in GOAL's info didn't match up with the NRA's info, and the software thought you were two different people. This could be something as simple as a typo.
