It doesn't matter if you are a GOA member or not. In fact, you are highly encouraged to forward this alert to all of your pro-gun friends and family. The voices and concerns of ALL gun owners in the country need to be represented this year.

Here is your chance to help shape GOA's agenda for 2005. At
http://www.gunowners.org/survey.htm
we have constructed a Survey of Gun Rights Activists and Legislative Concerns. Though quite comprehensive, it only takes a few moments to complete, and of course your responses will remain confidential.

There is no doubt that 2004 was a stellar year for gun owners. The hated Clinton semi-auto ban died a well-deserved death while other gun control proposals in Congress went nowhere.

GOA was on the front lines during many high-profile gun rights battles last year. But, as a grassroots lobbying organization, GOA's power on Capitol Hill was backed up with the razor-sharp "teeth" of legions of gun owners like yourself responding to the call.

Your postcards, e-mails, and phone calls showed legislators that they had better toe the line or pay the price.

This is a long-term struggle. Those who would strip us of our rights aren't going away. They are coming back, year after year, working with their friends in the liberal media to see what they can "get" in every legislative session.

We're not going away, either. Nor are we satisfied with resting on the laurels of defensive victories. GOA is committed to moving forward with pro-gun legislation... the status quo isn't good enough. Lost ground must be retaken.

Your grassroots activism is the key.

One way you can help -- GOA member or not -- is to tell us how you feel our resources can best be allocated. What battles are the most important to fight THIS year?

Obviously, the more activists who take the time to get involved in a specific issue, the more pressure can be brought on lawmakers. Politicians pay attention to numbers, because those numbers represent votes. It makes sense, therefore, not to waste time on certain minor
proposals that do not enjoy popular support with the grassroots -- meaning you.
 
Sorry, but no. They insist on my name, address and e-mail: and I'm not about to end up on anyone else's mailing list! A confidential, non-identified survey is fine with me, but not one like this.
 
I hope GOA is not actually going to use that survey. What if a bunch of Brady Bunchers or DUers get wind of it and flavor it their way? I know the survey doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for that but it could be skewed. Question #9, for example.
 
[tinfoil hat on]I'm betting this is NOT a GOA survey, but rather a surreptitous way for the govt. to gain info on gunowners. Don't fall for their trickery.[/tinfoil hat off]
 
I hit it up, but didn't give accurate info on my identity. They don't need somebody's info in order to gather a database full of responses to a survey, they just need it to send out mailings... no thanks.
 
Done. I'm already a member, so they've got my name and address. I didn't feel the need to fill it out again :)
 
I filled it out but put a fake e-mail address and only put the city where my PO Box is for demographic purposes.

I'm sure it means well, but my RKBA is unalienable and not up for debate supported by polls, surveys or opinion.
 
Good grief people!
If you don't want junk mail, turn on a junk mail filter. They aren't coming after you! GOA is on our side, save your paranoia for the bad guys!
 
:scrutiny:

Sorry Ruger270man, it's not paranoid to avoid this poll, imo. No one online asks you for contact info without a reason! That's common sense. Knowing your contact info doesn't help them decide if your an anti or a gun owner. It only has one purpose, to contact you in the future.

A mailer to members would be fine.
