I am a life member anyway and have been for many years. I just received a mailer offering a $250 "Patriot Life Endowment Member"

A Lifetime Membership usually costs $1000. This deal is $250, people!

They will accept a $25 down payment, and bill out the remaining $225 in $25 monthly installments.

They are also throwing in a Carhartt style barn coat for free with the NRA logo on the left breast! That's a deal.

Go to www.NRA2016.org or call them toll-free at 1-855-NRA-2016.

The promo ends on July 31st, 2016.

I've heard people say they can't afford $1000, and I can understand. If you pass up this opportunity for THIS promo, you're just making excuses and you shouldn't ever bitch in the future about not being able to afford it or your loss of 2A rights.

Every swinging dick on this site should get a membership for his kids, wife and himself at this price.

I'm not gonna ask for a sticky, but at least somebody bump TTT every so often, if you will.

not finding any info on their site.

This is for an Endowment Life Member. You have to already be a life member to qualify for the endowment level.

The Life Membership has actually gone up to $1,500.00. But, if you call today, now, you can get it for $500.00.

They will do the easy pay at $25.00 a month.

Thanks for clearing that up, doekiller. $25 a month/$500 total is STILL cheap.

I just upgraded to Endowment Member just now.

I agree. I think I paid $500 20 years ago when I became a life member. I just bought a life membership for my son today.

I called the number !-855-672-2016, and was waited on fairly quickly.

If you become a life member do they quit sending you stuff in the mail? If so it might just be worth it...

No.

For the first year, they stuff your mailbox that rival Publishers Clearinghouse. They want money in every mailer they send, saying "your dues are not enough". I don't take offense; they are, after all lobbying for us, and they SHOULD solicit funding. After awhile, they will cool down.

I need to get this done. The brochure is on my desk just waiting for me to mail the check. Plus I want that NRA jacket to wear this fall and winter.

I know I am in the minorty, but I have been a life member of 20 years and I could not tell you the last time I got a call or something in the mail other than my magizine, or catalogs for NRA gear.

A damn coffee mug would be nice every couple of years. They can keep their magazines.

I am still waiting on the hat I was promised the first year I joined. I finally quit joining because they wouldn't quit calling me at work. I never got anything other than the magazines and a brass coin one year. Been promised all kinds of NRA gear but never ever received anything. Had to get ugly with the person calling work to make them quit calling there. Have no idea how they got my work number.

Figured something was going on they've called me twice in the past 30mins

Im a life time member and they call me alot. I quess it because , I all ways like to give to a good cause!

I'v been a life member for about 5 years and get very few mailers and have NEVER gotten a phone call from them. I bought my son and myself life memberships at $300 each.

Y'all get off your butts and join either NRA or GOA. Help us help ourselves while we still have what we have!

I never get phone calls or mailings from the NRA. I'm a life member. All I get is my magazine.

Thank you all for your support during this important money drive. There are palms to grease, and sadly, that's what it takes for our interests in the legislative world.

I totally overlooked GOA, but I'm going to contact them right this minute for a membership.

If anybody truly needs monetary aid for a membership as opposed to just being a sorry moocher and cheap-ass freeloader, I MAY be willing to help on a case by case basis.

OK. I'm now a Life Member of GOA, as well. That wasn't hard at all.

Here's the membership levels and payment options for GOA:

Just joined as a life member myself.
