Anyone a member of any of these organizations?

 

[ASP785]

No, but if I was I wouldn't be for long.

 

[jakerz]

No sir.

 

[dru]

No but I'm Catholic and its deeply disappointing to see so many Catholic institutions jumping on the emotional bandwagon about this. But on the other hand, many of them are fairly liberal and progressive "catholic" organizations so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised

I am as well, though I do know many of the northeastern US diocese have come out against gun violence. It doesn't surprise me.

 

[Fredkrueger100]

I guarantee that almost every single one of those organizations on that list are liberal. Most were from California and we all know how liberal they are.

 

[foghorn918]

I bet the list of those against would be longer!

 

[10Seconds]

Very disapointed at several on that list. These religious groups really frustrate me. Several just got on my permanent no gift list.

 

[dugby]

Religous Organizations? These "Religous" organizations must think their religous liberty grows on trees. They would use the force of government to impose their views on the rest of us. Jesus never converted anyone by force. They should be ashamed of themselves and their lawlessness.

Thanks for list. I was a member of National Park Conservation Association. It was time to renew my membership and I sent them a letter asking to removed from their lists as I do not want to be associated with a group that attacks the Constitution. Sad, too as I love the Nat Park System. Thanks again.
