I agree but I didn't want to influence the comments.

I don't think the publicity would have any significant or long lasting effect besides, making a gift membership rather than an outright donation would cause the NRA to have to spend some money, at least on postage, acknowledging the donation.

I also thought about the idea of giving a gift membership to a more local representative but again, there would be no long lasting effect if there were any effects at all.

I could give a gift membership to my kids or maybe a friend ...

I just received the new NRA Store catalog in the mail today and there are a few things I like...

I could buy something from an online merchant I just discovered that allows you to round up and add an NRA donation ...

but I think I will just go to Contribute to NRA and donate!

The Yankee Marshal (YM) has posted a video with the above subject. (I did not include a direct link to the video because the YM sometimes uses language that is not compliant with this forum's rules.)

In the video, the YM advocates that instead of just donating to the NRA, we should give a gift NRA membership to Michael Bloomberg. The YM hopes that Bloomberg's receipt of thousands of gift memberships could be a media event the NRA could use.

What say you? Is donating to the NRA through gift memberships to Michael Bloomberg an appropriate way to respond to Obama's upcoming executive orders?
