It feels like "wolf!" is being called more than needed and that behavior gets the same response from me and others as 41bear has indicated.
In other words, I contribute less than would be the case if there were fewer exhortations better timed to events.
One result is that I contribute to NRA/ILA more frequently than to the NRA proper. The ILA mission is direct lobbying.
That way I get double the solicitations and spend half as much!
The most recent NRA solicitation seems a bit different. It looks like they are gearing up for a major fracas with the banks to more or less assure constitutional protections exist in private transactions.
They, the ILA, or both, will also need to take on the social media, perhaps in partnership with major conservative entities. Otherwise, we may not be able to use even this forum within a few short years.
So, I am not sure this current round of solicitations is merely another false cry of wolf! or it is truly a legitimate call to action.
I do know that a cattle prod loses effectiveness when the body has nothing left.
