The purpose of those post cards, and it's not just GOA that does them, just about all grass roots interest groups do, is to demonstrate organizational fealty among members to the politicians. It's something that needs to be used judiciously, because after a while the Congressworms will just start ignoring them unless you can deliver in ungodly quantities, and no groups, save maybe the AARP, and even there I'm not sure, could accomplish that.

I've been a member of NRA, GOA and JPFO. Currently I am a member of only GOA because they emphasize political action by sending post cards addressed to your specific rep and senators. But all pro-gun organizations should pull together for the common cause of defending 2nd Amendment rights and, as JPFO's mantra: ALL of the Bill of Rights for ALL Citizens. Good points.
