ISRA/NRA – Gun Control Issues: Are you an ISRA and or a NRA Member? If not, why not?!?!?
Less than ½ of the current CSC members are NRA and/or ISRA members.
PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING EITHER OR BOTH OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS (ISRA & NRA) TODAY IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY A MEMBER.
Annual memberships in each of these organizations are only $25.00 each, which is less than your annual dues. ISRA membership forms are available @ www.isra.org/ Annual NRA membership, which is regularly $35.00 by mail, can be obtained from either Richard Powell, Treasurer, or Bob Bjerke, Secretary., at a special $25.00 rate. This special NRA rate includes individuals desiring to renew their annual membership.
The lobbying arms of the ISRA & the NRA are the two groups fighting the abhorrent attempts to revoke our rights to own the firearms we currently have access to. Go to the ISRA website www.isra.org/ and follow the prompts to the legislative bills pending. If you are not signed up for the free ISRA ALERT SERVICE, do so today. You can also go to the NRA website www.nra-ila.org/ and follow the prompts to see pending legislative bills for all states, including Illinois.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PERIODICALLY CONTACT YOUR ELECTED REPRESNTATIVES AND POLITELY INFORM THEM OF YOUR STRENIOUS OBJECTIONS TO ANY AND ALL PROPOSED OR PENDING ANTI-GUN OWNER LEGISLATION. The applicable websites can help you find the correct names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The CSC website has a listing of federally elected Illinois Officials.

TEMPORARILY AWAY FROM HOME/NEW ADDRESS
Are you going to be “TEMPORARILY AWAY” (maybe for the winter, an extended vacation or job demands)? More and more monthly newsletters are being returned to the Club marked as “TEMPORARILY AWAY”! When you notify the Post Office that you are going to be “TEMPORARILY AWAY” they will ONLY HOLD or FORWARD 1ST CLASS MAIL. All other mail is returned to the sender. Your monthly newsletter is mailed to you using Bulk Rate Postage. Consequently, your newsletter is returned to the Club marked POSTAGE DUE @ $ .39 which the Club has to pay to retrieve it. These newsletters cannot be forwarded, as we do not know where to send them.
If you notify the Club Secretary of any planned extended stay away from your residence before you leave, your mailing address can be updated so that you can still receive your monthly newsletter, as some members have, while on that extended stay away from your home.
THEREFORE, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL RETURNED “TEMPORARILY AWAY” NEWSLETTERS WILL BE PLACED ON THE NO NEWSLETTER LIST (NNL) UNTIL YOU NOTIFY THE CLUB SECRETARY THAT YOU HAVE RETURNED. ANY “TEMPORARILY AWAY” HELD / RETURNED NEWSLETTERS WOULD THEN BE FORWARDED TO YOU!!
Members that have “MOVED TO A NEW ADDRESS” and have not notified the Club of their NEW ADDRESS also have their newsletters returned marked POSTAGE DUE @ $ .39. The Post Office will not forward these newsletters. The Club then pays another $ .39 postage to forward it to you and updates your file to reflect your new address. Please notify the Club when you move!
