After an attempted takeover of the NRA a couple of decades ago (I don't remember exactly when, maybe someone else remembers more details) the bylaws were changed so that you must be a dues-paying member for FIVE YEARS before you earn voting rights. If you let your membership lapse, I believe the clock resets.If this bullet voting shows some promise to make change I'll get a membership just to be able to vote in a better direction the next board election.
For this reason I've kept up my annual NRA membership, but do not donate any further than that.
