First of all, THANK YOU for joining us. Our strength is in our numbers, and the more members we have, the bigger stick we can swing in the state legislature. We have some great people here who spend a lot of their own personal time testifying at hearings and lobbying our senators, and they need our support.
So what more can you do?
- Contact your government representatives. Congress, state legislature, city council, mayor, governor, you name it. Everyone here should be regularly emailing, calling, or writing letters. Already contacted them? Do it again! Even though Nebraska's congressional delegation is for the most part pro-2A we need to keep the pressure on them. Politely but firmly tell them we will not tolerate any compromise. Not an inch.
- Go to rallies, attend legislative hearings, volunteer to help at events. The NFOA is a volunteer organization. For example, we need people to help man tables at gun shows to recruit new members. You don't have to be an eloquent speaker. Just make eye contact with someone, say hello, and ask them if they know about the NFOA. It's easy. The rest just takes care of itself. If even half our members would volunteer at only one event per year we would have a HUGE presence.
- Donate. We don't have membership dues, so everything we do is run off of donations. There's a button at the top of the page - it doesn't have to be a huge amount, even $5 a month is a big help. You spend more than that for a value meal at McDonalds.
And probably the most important:
- Spread the word. Talk to your family and friends about the NFOA. Get them to join us and other organizations like the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, etc. Engage people in discussions about our rights. Even better, take someone shooting who's not a gun person. Show them how to safely and responsibly exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. In fact, if you yourself are new to shooting and looking for some help, PM ME. I'm always happy to take people shooting.
