Member survey: What political groups do/would you monetarily support?

[simonov jr]

What pro-gun, pro-freedom political groups DO you send money to when you can, eg NRA, GOA, Judicial Watch? What groups WOULD you send money too if you had MORE to donate? When you give, do you give any thought to tax deductions? Finally, which groups make the best USE of contributions?

 

[swifter...]

Not counting "Round-up" donations...

NRA
CA Rifle & Pistol Assoc.
Citizens of America
Gun Owners of Calif.
Gun Owners of America

Not in any special order, but I rarely donate to the same one 2x in a row. I try to donate 10% of what I spend on gun stuff. I generally come pretty close!

In lieu of sending extra money, I recruit new members.

 

[444]

I donate $25 or more every payday (twice a month). I try to rotate and also try to find more worthwile groups to dontate to. Right now I donate to the NRA, the GOA, and when the Civil Liberties Defense Foundation sends me something, I answer with a check (they are the group sueing the cities, that are sueing the gun manufacturers for disruption of interstate commerce). I also suppport The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Ducks Unlimited.

 

[Libertarian]

NRA, Libertarian Party, libertarian candidates (separate from LP funds), Freedom from Religion, NORML, GOA, JPFO, VCDL, Pink Pistols and a few pro-choice groups.

Some of the above groups get money only, some money and time and some just time but, since time is money, I consider it all financial support.

During the election I sent a nice sum of money to the RNC, which I feel morally inclined to support. Problem is now I receive a monthly statement to send more money. I now just want then to leave me alone, please!

 

[duck hunt]

I just joined JPFO last week, so that's one. I would like to donate more, but I am only a duck.

 

[George Hill]

Second Amendment Foundation

Civil Liberties Defense Foundation

I hope to add JPFO

I don't consider tax deductions when I donate--I normally do it because I'm mad as hell at somebody for trying to take away my rights. As a result I think I am now on everybody's sucker list.

 

[simonov jr]

Holy cow!

You guys are unbelievable. I can list NRA-ILA, Judicial Watch and SAF. I'm really impressed with the level of support here...I wonder if you all are the exception or the rule?
