UPDATE (2/26): In the several days since Daily Kos and other groups have been pushing this action, 24 out of 30 businesses have divested from the NRA. But six companies (including Federal Express) continue to offer NRA members discounts.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is an extremist organization that opposes virtually every common-sense gun safety regulation, even ones supported by most gun owners.

But the NRA continues to be powerful, because it boasts over 5 million members -- members who enjoy various corporate discounts when they pay their annual $40 membership fee.

For example, car rental companies like Hertz, Avis & Budget each offer 25% discounts to NRA members. Federal Express gives NRA members a 26% discount on shipping charges. And the First National Bank of Omaha offers the "official credit card of the NRA." UPDATE (2/22): Due to consumer pressure, the First National Bank has discontinued its NRA credit card.

We cannot influence the NRA, but we can put pressure on corporate sponsors to divest from the NRA and make its membership less valuable.

Sign the petition to corporate sponsors: Divest from the National Rifle Association.
