I, too, am concerned that they spend more on these damn mailing to me than I actually donate. In other words, I am an unintended or accidental drag on their organization finances, not a net plus. That just shouldn't be.Maybe contact them and see if they can take you off their mailing list? IDK. I know I freaked out on some poor woman calling from the NRA one day after the millionth call. She calmly listened to my rant and said, "...would you like me to put you on our do not call list?". I felt like an ass as she prob just works for some company that contracts with the NRA to make calls, BUT the calls did stop. Maybe we can do the same thing with the mail.
I wouldn't mind so much but by the looks of the material they send out they can probably buy every one of their members a nice Model 29 with the cash they spend every year on train-loads of glossy envelopes and over-sized parchment paper. That money can be better spent in dozens of different ways. If they were smart, they'd have some sort of monthly credit card donation tied to no calls and no mail. $X a month= 3 mailings and 3 calls a year. $Y a month= no mail and 3 calls. >$Z= no mail and no calls. Etc. IDK, anything is better than what they have going on now
I'll look into cutting off the mailings from the various organizations. I don't mind the e-mails. They can continue. They just go to junk mail anyway... not a problem.
Only problem with cutting off NRA mailings is that I don't want to lose the American Rifleman magazine. Yes, I know I can get it on-line, but I like the physical magazine. That's the one thing I want to continue, the mailman and neighbors be damned.
