WE NEED YOU ON NRA-ILA`s "FrontLines"™
The
NRA-ILA Grassroots Division has been working hard to
further enhance our efforts to recruit, train and mobilize a corps of dedicated
volunteers. To that end, in March of this year we implemented a new
program--NRA-ILA FrontLines™ --the most comprehensive grassroots program ever
undertaken by NRA-ILA. We are happy to report that response to the program
has been excellent. Thousands of dedicated individuals have already joined
with us and have greatly enhanced the performance of our efforts at the
grassroots level. Looking ahead to the critical 2004 election cycle, we
want to keep this momentum going, and are once again asking for your active
participation.
The FrontLines program is comprised of the most dedicated and active volunteers who are willing to work vigorously with NRA-ILA and especially with their NRA-ILA Election Volunteer Coordinator (EVC) to advance ILA's legislative and political agendas. Your EVC is a local NRA member who has volunteered to act as the liaison between NRA members and gun owners and various pro-gun campaigns seeking volunteer support. Your EVC also works with local Second Amendment supporters to promote NRA-ILA's legislative agenda.
FrontLines is not for the faint of heart. NRA-ILA FrontLines will draw from the "grasstops" of the pro-Second Amendment community. We are looking only for those willing and prepared to actively answer the call to defend our rights! If you can't pledge a few hours of your time to defend our rights, NRA-ILA FrontLines isn't for you. Also, please know that everything associated with NRA-ILA FrontLines is absolutely free. We are seeking your time and active assistance, not your money. Rest assured the time commitment involved with this program is small, but the dividends of your vigorous participation will be immense!
Some of the many activities in which NRA-ILA FrontLines members will actively participate, either with their EVC or on their own, include:
Campaign Activities
Registering pro-gun voters
Writing letters to the editor
Yard sign & bumper sticker distribution
Working at campaign headquarters
Literature drops
Precinct walks
Phone banks
Get Out The Vote
Election Day activities
Legislative Activities
Contacting lawmakers in person, by phone, letter, e-mail, and fax
Attending town hall meetings
Writing letters to the editor
In order to guarantee the continued success of NRA-ILA FrontLines, we need you to take the time to fill out and return a revised (and simplified!) NRA-ILA Volunteer Information Form. Although you may have filled out a similar form in the past, by filling out this new version, we can make sure your information in our database is current, accurate, and will include only the information necessary to ensure our grassroots efforts are focused with laser precision. You may obtain a copy of the form by calling the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-8683, or you can complete this form on-line at https://secure.nraila.org/volunteer.asp.
Once we receive your completed form, we'll confirm your enrollment in FrontLines and be sure that your EVC knows how to contact you (presuming you give us your permission to share your contact information with your EVC). Again, everything associated with NRA-ILA FrontLines is absolutely free. All you need to do is make the commitment and you will be contacted at the appropriate time to lend your active assistance to our cause of defending liberty.
If you have any questions concerning NRA-ILA FrontLines or legislative activities happening right now in the U.S. Congress or your state, please do not hesitate to contact our offices directly at (800) 392-8683. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you in the very near future!
