As of January 1, 2016, NRA dues will increase at all membership levels - our first dues increase in more than 20 years.

But before this increase goes into effect, I want to make sure you have the chance to renew your membership - or even become a Life Member - at a special discount rate that may never be repeated.

By extending your membership today, you'll save $10 to $40 off the new membership rates that go into effect on January 1st. Or, save a full $1,000 when you become a Life Member of the NRA before this deadline.

And no matter which membership option you choose, you'll receive a limited-edition gift as an extra way for NRA to say "thank you" to our most committed supporters.

Not only is this the best NRA membership value you'll ever see, but there's never been a more important time for you to renew your commitment to the NRA and freedom.

I say that because everything you and I love about this country - including our Second Amendment rights - is at stake and at risk in the 2016 presidential election now just 11 months away.

Make no mistake. If front-running presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wins the election next November, you and I will lose our guns and lose the Second Amendment freedoms we've known all our lives.

And NRA can't stop her unless YOU help.

That's why I'm urging you to take advantage of these special offers today. You'll save at least $10 and as much as $1,000 when you renew your membership or become a Life Member.

You'll beat the dues increase that goes into effect on January 1st, and get a special gift to commemorate your decision and your support.

This is our last, best chance to get America back on track and save our freedom and our guns. We can do it - but only if we roll up our sleeves and work together starting right now.

Thanks for your friendship and support, and please let me hear from you today.

Executive Vice President
