I had dropped my membership years ago when I got fed up with all the mailings and phone calls every election cycle it seems.

I joined back up a couple days ago.

First thing this morning, I cancelled an order to SimpliSafe for a home security system, and closed my NRA Visa account with First National Bank of Omaha...

Others will pick up the customers these and others like them didn’t want...

Because most Leftists live in close proximity to one another, they constantly overestimate their strength and make mistake after mistake, leading to many GOP election victories.

And too many here take the bait.

I just joined for 5 years. I was a member 25 years ago when I was on the college rifle team.

Companies are about to experience the difference between “astroturf” and real grassroots. NRA=5MM members. Gun owners in US - 55MM. How many non-gun-owners agree with the NRA position??? How many with the “astroturf”?? My bet would be many, many fewer.

When liberals drop us lemons, we make lemonade.

To make lemonade, lemons must be CRUSHED.

I know a lot of people (including myself) who were either never members or let their membership lapse (me) and renewed it in the last week or two.

Those would be interesting statistics.

Last time I rented a car, it was from Enterprise. It will also be the last time I rent from them, or any other rental company that joined this boycott. Ask Chick-Fil-A how successful the last liberal boycott was. The one here in my hometown always has a long line of cars at the drive-thru.

I called Enterprise Holdings and let them know I’ll no longer rent from them. I said I was going against my company policy to use them and that I had spent over $1,000 on a SUV rental just a week ago.

My kid works at CFA. Always busy. This particular store has no idea what their real volume could be. It opened during a large road construction project that’s about a year overdue for completion

Let's begin posting alternatives to these boycotting companies. Another Freeper let us/me know that Thrifty and Fox Car Rental are good alternatives to the powerful Enterprise, Avis, and Hertz Companies.

“Remember how we really put the screws to Chik-Fil-A a couple of years ago? We really brought them to their knees!”
“And the conservatives didn’t lift a finger to help them!”
“Yep that’s exactly how I remember it too!”
“Start the boycotts and the protests! It’s gonna be great!”

Call FedEx and thank them for not caving in to the radical left and supporting the Second Amendment by supporting the NRA.

Are you sure that amazon.com has bent the knee? As of yesterday they hadn’t.
