An NRA spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions about the organization's donation system or solicitations.
The NRA appears to have mixed its corporate funds and with its Pac funds and general solicitations, he said.
One study showed a three- to five-fold increase in solicitations.
In the first quarter the credit-card industry sent out only a quarter as many solicitations as it did a year earlier (see bottom chart, above).A more enduring restraint will be the pressure on consumers to reduce their debts to more manageable levels relative both to income and to the much lower value of their homes.

When it comes to responding to "direct-order" mail shots (signing up to an offer, as opposed to merely expressing an interest), the rate has fallen even more dramatically, to 0.7% from 3.5% in 2004.The problem seems to be too many envelopes cluttering too many mail boxes, "leading many consumers to discard the blizzard of solicitations they receive", according to Advertising Age.
Repeated online solicitations for small donations are a relatively inefficient way of raising money.
The state has sent direct-mail solicitations to 215,000 Iowan graduates telling them how to find good jobs in Iowa.
As we await big decisions at the end of June on gay marriage and the fate of Obamacare, it is encouraging to see signs that the justices are not always captive to their predilections.Last month, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal wing of the bench to uphold limits on personal solicitations by judicial candidates against a free-speech challenge.
