On the subject of censorship

I have been an NRA member since I was a teenager
I recently noticed I am not longer receiving NRA email
It might be a technical issue, but I'm thinking my email provider has blacklisted NRA email servers
I'm still digging into it.
If they are, they will lose a customer of 25 years

That's messed up if they're blocking those emails. Who's your ISP?

Earthlink.. I've been with them for 20+ years
It would  be a massive project to move all my accounts, and notify all my contacts.

Proton email offers great free account and is about as secure as it comes. They even give you a limited VPN service for free. Banking on thee upgrades, of course. I stopped using an ISP's email service 20 years ago (earthlink, actually). mostly use Gmail :lol:

I would think you could just set up mail forwarding,I've never done it personally. And have a signature in your email replies that tell them your new email address for a year or so.

I've never used Earthlink, but mail forwarding is usually pretty simple to set up.  You could set up an auto-reply that sends an email with the new information while forwarding the email to the new address.  All of the replies would come from the new address. It would eventually work itself out.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Unless the ISP just kills the email addy and now all sent messages get sent back saying "undeliverable". This is why I would never use an ISP email for personal/business. Junk mail and potential spam signups you check every once and a while, yes. But not something I'd like to easily carry with me if I left a provider.

This may be an unfavorable opinion, but what has the NRA done for us (legal gun owners) in recent times?  I'm willing to listen, but I'm drawing a Blank

Lobby. That's what they do for you.  Their voice is getting smaller but they still play a huge part in gun rights for US citizens.  I don't agree with how they go about it but this is the government were stuck with.

Firearms Policy Coalition is kicking the NRA's ass in effective court battles of late.
FPC, CalGuns Foundation, and the California Rifle and Pistol Association are getting my money now. AND not sending me a ton of junk mail either.

WAY more bang for the buck with FPC. Hands down. The NRA in it's current state is nothing more than a waste of time.

Have you cleared that with Reko?  :D   I'm just joking but if he comes in here and sees that he's probably going to lose his shit.
