    While I wholeheartedley support all of the above(NRA endowment member/golden eagle/ILA/ and all the rest) the fact that LaPierre's wife is involved with the marketing company gives me heartburn, and is starting to show more and more arrogance/ego on the part of our NRA with more and more demands for money and other support.

    Well, after careful review of the situation, I've come to the conclusion that the gun owners and constitution advocates of this country will put them out of business.It's more shameful conduct on the part of stupid people that have no idea what true freedom means. These freedoms which they would gladly give away because of short sightedness and choices filled with evil intent and deception.H & R has not only shown that they are not worthy of our trust, but are not to be trusted with personnal financial matters of the the American public. These are the type of people that would sell out their freedom for the all mighty dollar. I for one will deny them the privlage of filing my tax return for the rest of my life.They have slapped the face of honest God fearing Americans and would deny others those same rights and freedoms. It's not theirs to give awayor deny. We are no more than caretakers of the truth. These same people would defame the honorable men and women who daily defend this country from people who would attempt to take away those same freedoms that they so rightous enjoy! Sound familiar??They are traitors to this country, it's people and subvertors of the truth. I personally will do everything in my power to inform and convience others not to utilize any of their services. If you hit them in the pocket they will cease to exsist. They are nothing more than parasites sucking off the lifes blood of hard working Americans. I've sent these same sentiments to them. If you haven't written them, by all means do. Pass this information along to others and encourage them to do the same. The only way to kill a parasite is to take away it's food. I do not want them to change their stance, I WANT THEM AND OTHERS LIKE THEM TO GO AWAY, NOW and FOREVER!!!Jeff[This message has been edited by JRMSR (edited 03-18-2002).]

    I called my H&R BLock stock broker and withdrew (sold) all my stock as well as the email, follow-up letter and letter to the manager of my local HRB office. We have to put our $$ where our mouth is. Sure, I lost a couple bucks in the sale, but it is the principal. Unfortunately this Anti-Constitutional list keeps growing. God Bless this nation He founded.

    Only 47 posts so far and this is a battle that can be fought with a KEYBOARD. And SOMEof you folks expect me to believe you'll be right there when the SHOOTING starts! If youwere as serious about preserving your 2ndamendment rights as the antigunneras are about enslaving us all, the posts would overflow this board. 47 posts won't make H&R Block take notice...47,000 would!!!Come on guys & gals, lets swamp H&R Blockinstead of bragging about what "we'reagonna do" when the UN comes knocking.

    ive never had no dealings with h&r block in the past and now i wont in the future, i e-mailed them last week and shared my thoughts and i have been e-mailing them every day since. thunderbolt is right, you have to keep the drive goin and the pressure on to make them realize what they did is gonna be the fatal mistake of h&r block.

    Thunderbolt,I * to them already and all I got was one of their form replys. I think now we should pressure H&R Block into going back to their original marketing agreement with the NRA. Let's face it, the anti-gun groups are sleeping with a lot of other Corporations, but you don't hear them saying anyting about that. They're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Gino

    I talked to my brother in Montana and told him about H&Rs deal and he called his local office. The manager of the office advised him she had not heard about it but would check it out. She called back the next day and said she got the same response we all got. She is pissed and said the office in Montana does not support the home offices decision. Oh well his money he pays does not stay in Montana so he cancelled his appointment.

    I let them know what I thought, told them to take a look at K-Mart and that I would be watching for the signs, H&R Block to Close Doors....mark my word, if you do what is right, right will stand the test of time, but just to do what feels good or makes people happy, will sooner or later fall. Email them today and spread the word...swishman

    It looks like they have a standard responce ot everyones email. Mine was the same. Maybe if they get enough of them they will get the message:Our Response:Thank you for sharing your views with us. We have taken the matter very seriously. H&R Block offers its products and services equally to all taxpayers. The company does not take a stand on social issues outside the realm of tax and financial services. This tax season H&R Block entered an agreement with a marketing company to expand our ability to market our tax products and services. A number of organizations interpreted this agreement in a way that had H&R Block taking a particular side of a social issue - something our company does not do. Therefore, we are ending the agreement to remove ourselves from a debate we don't belong in and to prevent any outside group from using H&R Block to promote their agenda. H&R Block's sole focus remains on helping all Americans with their tax and financial needs.Thank you for your e-mail.

    When you get your form letter from H&R Block,don't let it end there. Give them both barrels...hit the REPLY button and send them a second letter asking "How can I trust a business that breaks agreements with clients because of outside pressure? Would they cave like this if some pressure group (like the IRS) decided to work over a client? In other words, does H&R Block honor contractual agreements or does minority public opinion set corporate policy?"Keep fighting!!!

    Send the ungrateful S.O.B.s down the same road as K Mart. E-Mail sent hoping they go bankrupt. Americans that respect and valuethe Constitution let your voices be heard.All other communists get you a one way trip to china with your tax refund. and don't expect any future J. Carter to grant you amnesty.

    heres my email to em: I just read that you severed ties with the NRA. Thats too bad for you. I know that you've lost thoulsands of NRA members who have taken their taxes to you in the past. It disgusts me to think that i almost took my taxes to such a hypocritical organization such as yours which one month i read an add about how you contribute to the nra and the next, when i am about to take you my taxes, i hear that you have severed ties with the "extremest group, the NRA". All of you at H&R Block make me sick.
