There are 1,564 members on the NFOA forum and we have ten members who have committed.  That is a minuscule 0.00639386189258%.  NOT EVEN one tenth (0.10) of one percent, BUT we have already raised $1,200 over the next year.

Come on people! Can you NOT see the power of this idea?! A donation that won't mean !$%# out of your budget will do incredible things for our rights.

12 Monthly Donators!
I'm not sure who it was.  Please post your thoughts on supporting the NFOA.  Whoever it was, THANK YOU!

Dang Fly, I didn't think I'd need to do it, but I'm going to take a page from "That Guy" in Washington and have to issue my first Executive Order.  I hereby declare OnTheFly to be the Official NFOA Monthly Donation CZAR!   :laugh:

(Now if you can sweet talk Dan, or bribe him, maybe you can get your new title under your forum name...)

I appreciate the designation.  I keep trying, but DANG if this isn't a hard sale.  Honestly I am very surprised that there wasn't a landslide of people who had the light bulb turn on over their head and set up a monthly donation of just a few dollars each month.   :(

The idea has gained a little momentum, but not as fast as I had hoped.  I will keep reasoning-asking-begging-groveling-pleading though.  It is the least I can do because I shudder at the thought of some of this anti-gun legislation getting passed, and I know that a cohesive group effort with a singular voice is more effective than an individual.  A perfect example is the power that the NRA wields.

Thanks again for the kind words, but more importantly THANK YOU for all the uncompensated work you and the NFOA board do for the rest of us.  You deserve much more support than we provide.

Keep plugging Fly....we can hope some more folks will see the light, and pitch in. 

If our Board wants to expand the influence and clout of NFOA, they need to have a steady cash flow they can count on.  That was the thought that convinced me to set up a monthly donation (along with your shameless grovelling).   :P

Fly,

I think I must have been #12.  I was hoping I would just be one of a whole big crowd that set up their donations today.

Okay...someone voted in the poll, but didn't post in the thread.  If you voted, then we are up to speed on my donation totals.  However, if you have NOT voted in the poll, then that would make you lucky #13.

Fly,

I voted in the poll right after I set up my donation, which was around lunchtime today, IIRC. 

I didn't get a chance to log back into the forum until this evening, since I had to go back to work for SWMBO after lunch.

I was the 10th vote, if memory serves. Sorry, I didn't know you were keeping track of that.

No problem whatsit.  Yes, for various reasons (as you now know) I AM keeping track initially.  For one thing, I want to make sure everyone who has set up a monthly donation has also voted in the poll so I can update my running tally of funds committed.  I think this running spreadsheet is a great way to tout our progress.

Thanks for your support!

For anyone else.

If you have set up a monthly donation, but have not yet voted in this poll, please do so and then reply to the thread so we know who to thank.

Well said Hank, and welcome aboard.  You can officially call yourself a "Cool Kid".

Hank is cool, I met him yesterday...
Fly,
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!!
I did not set up a monthly donation, instead deciding to donate periodically as funds are available, somehow I still resist the automatic withdrawals from my checking acct. (must be a control thing)
Anyhow keep up the good work, you're like my wife... "RELENTLESS". But in a nice and important way.
