Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

This is exactly what I want to say when I withdraw MY membership from the NRA. I've been a member for years and always supported them, but I am so disappointed with their use of mentally ill Americans as a straw man in their quest to defeat gun-control legislation. I am no more in favor of being disarmed by the government than the NRA is, but I am not going to let them throw me under a bus just because I have a mental health diagnosis.

The only thing I'd change about the letter is, you need to break it up into more paragraphs. Long columns of text are difficult to read and will lose your audience before they can finish it. I've been a semi-professional writer, blogger, and Internet forum moderator for many years, and I can tell you that long paragraphs are the death of many a good piece of writing in this age of Twitter and 15-second sound bites. Other than that......GOOD JOB!!!
