Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
Ghost:
I guess I'm slower than some people. I had to think about this idea for a little while, and ask myself some questions, before I made a decision.
Would I miss reading this forum if it went dark?
Did I like the idea that I could advertise a gun, or want to buy some scarce reloading supplies or ammo, and get several, almost immediate, responses?
Did I appreciate the effort, and money, that past and current BOD members, and other NFOA volunteers and donors, had put in that gave me the ability to obtain a Nebraska CHP?
Did I appreciate having my 2A rights supported in the Legislature, even when I couldn't go myself?
Did I see a need for Nebraska shooters and firearms owners to have a unified voice at the national level?
Those were just a few of the questions I pondered before I hit the big "Donate" button. I decided I could handle a modest monthly donation pretty easily, without letting any other important priorities slide.
Any organization can only be as strong as it's members are willing to make it. I definitely appreciate the money and effort other NFOA members have put in to defend our 2A rights. NFOA has a lot of members and is still growing, yet less than 1% of the total membership has given any monetary support. Give it some thought, and if you can make it work, even in a small way, please hit the "Donate" button. Just my $.02......

because of your prodding, I became a donor a couple of days ago, it is something I had been thinking about, but never got around to doing.
It didn't hurt at all!!

AWESOME! Thanks for supporting YOUR Association with action and not just words.

That's okay. I understand not trusting some automated systems, especially those that are web based. So here is what you need to do...
* Write twelve checks for a nominal amount each ($1-5...that's ALL!)
* Date the checks April 2013 through March 2014
* Stick each check in an unsealed envelope
* Write the intended month/year on the back of each envelope for the corresponding check
* Address them to the NFOA, PO box 419, Syracuse, Nebraska 68446
* Place a "Forever" stamp on each envelope
* Set a monthly reminder on your smart phone, laptop, etc. to seal the appropriate envelope and stick it in the mail
* When/if you have EXTRA funds that you want to part with, add a check to one of those envelopes

Ghost,
That was an awesome explanation of how you came to the realization that my idea was a worthy one. ;D
THANK YOU for joining the club.

15 MONTHLY CONTRIBUTORS!
Now we are on a roll. One thing I wanted to mention, you can also set up a monthly donation to the NFOA-PAF (Political Action Fund) HERE if you would rather that your funds go for this endeavor. Either way, you are actively protecting your 2A rights.

Fly, you said you would whine & beg if you needed to! Will that be on video? :laugh:
Here is what the funds are used for:
Your dollars help us lobby for pro-gun legislation, and defend and advance the rights of Nebraska residents to own and use firearms for all legal activities.
They are active in educating/ travel/writing letters/ interviews/staying on top of proposed laws/ speaking out for us!
