Talk about voting with your dollars.

NRA has been forced to withdraw its support for the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA), due to OWAA leadership’s continuing loyalty to the Sierra Club, a longtime foe of the rights of hunters. NRA will join the growing number of OWAA Sustaining and Individual members who are transferring their memberships to groups more favorable to hunters and free expression.
The Sierra Club, an OWAA member organization, embarked last year on a political campaign to defeat pro-gun and pro-hunting candidates by endorsing a slate of candidates in the 2004 elections that were opposed to hunting and firearm ownership. NRA opposition to the Sierra Club campaign was met with criticism by OWAA leaders.

“If the Sierra Club’s endorsed candidates had their way, private ownership of firearms would be banned,” said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “We were right to oppose their campaign and their candidates, and NRA’s four million members turned out on Election Day and voted for their rights and their freedom.”

I used to be a member of the Sierra Club simply because I love the outdoors and wildlife, but when they started moving toward a more stringent doctrine, sometime in the early 80’s, I quit. When you straddle a fence you only end up with a butt full of barbed wire, and I’d already had enough experience in that department.
While I don’t know if they are as militant as Eco-Terrorists ELF, it’s the same dogma, and baby, I’ve already got a religion.
