One thing we pride ourselves on in the Grassroots Division is constantly evaluating our programs and publications to ensure we are providing our volunteers with information that interests them and that they can use.           

Because many of you also receive our monthly newsletter “Freedom’s Voice,” we have changed the format of that publication to provide readers with information they can put to use, that won’t be found in the Friday Grassroots Alert.             

The major change in the newsletter is that we are now running more stories on grassroots activism.  Among the types of stories you will be seeing more of in future issues of "Freedom's Voice" are:           

• Grassroots activist tips to enhance your ability to affect the outcome of legislation and elect pro-gun candidates to office
• Tips on writing effective letters to the editor of your local newspapers and taking advantage of talk radio shows
• Guidance on becoming an effective pubic speaker
• Guest commentary from your fellow NRA members and grassroots activists
• Letters to the editor of "Freedom's Voice"
• Information on new Grassroots programs and updates and improvements to existing ones, and more   

In short, we are working to transform "Freedom's Voice" from a replay of stories of interest in the Friday Grassroots Alert into a pro-gun grassroots activist road map!           

We will still be reporting on stories of interest, and will work to expand upon stories you may have seen previously in the Friday Grassroots Alert.  However, with the continued streamlining and improvement of NRA-ILA's electronic communications abilities, we want to fully utilize these opportunities to affirm and improve upon what you, and NRA, does best - grassroots activism!
