I joined SAF as a Life member last year. I wish I could figure out how to turn off all of the sky-is-falling snail-mail. Don't get me started on the "annual renewal" (might have said annual dues or something) letter. At least the NRA deluge was turned off with a phone call.Folks, I have, by my count 7 takers so far.
I'll extend my time limit to Friday at 6pm PST, just to give our left coast leftys a chance to join.
@LittleLebowski - maybe we should split out the SAF posts into a separate thread, that could be stickied until Friday? A general notice or something. I'd like to give all my money away.
I assume these tactics are effective.... Just makes me a little sad.

Yeah, I only joined under the five year plan about a year and a half ago and get constant dues reminders. And the newsletters mostly go direct to trash. There's only so much chicken little I can take.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Whomever wants to make a donation to SAF, please do. I joined for a year.

Lifetime member of the SAF since nearly twenty years ago.
I turned off all their solicitations, though, likewise those for the NRA & GOA.
I disbelieve most of their "Chicken Little"-type proclamations about impending 2A disaster.
Basically, I'm happy to help, and to "do my part" by supporting worthwhile pro-2A groups, but it's high time for the organizations in question not only to "put up or shut up", but to give us subscribers at least some significant degree of transparency about how our money is used.
WLP's exploitation of NRA monies has soured the whole pro-2A financial-support motivation.

I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
FWIW, I changed my Amazon Smile donation from the NRA to the SAF. Maybe after a year or two, that will be one little blue pill that WLP won't be buying on my dime.

I just joined SAF because of this thread.

Dear "PARF",
Thank you so much for your tax-deductible $150.00 membership in the Second Amendment Foundation. For any five-year, life or Committee of 1000 membership you will receive a letter for income tax purposes.
The Second Amendment Foundation is appreciative of your support.
If you join for life they send you a framed certificate. Big one... 8x11, IIRC LOL.
