OFF THE WIRE
MASS RIDERS CALL TO ACTION TO ASSIST CALIFORNIA!
We should all be aware of Boston's Ordinance passed last year which would fine those riding or parked in the City of Boston $300 if their bike's exhaust system does not have a "redily visible" EPA Stamp. SB435 is the same bill except that it is a statewide piece of legislation covering the entire state of California. You've heard me state that this crap would spread if we didn't stop it in Boston. Now it's crapping all over the entire State of California. Read below and take a few moments to write a letter & send it off to Don. Tell him Bill sent ya. Please read below:
I am asking for your help against SB 435
The following people are members of the Assembly appropriations committee where SB435 will be heard next (8/4/10)
There are 36,661 signatures against SB435
There are 26 letters of support for SB435
Only three of those 26 are from individuals, the rest, are from various government agencies , noise off, cities and counties.
LA County and City, West Hollywood, are the biggest pushers...The rest are various gov. agencies. and charities.
Bottom line? There is no ground swell of support . We need to tell the members of the comm. that fact.
This will place California in violation of Federal Law not bring it in line with Federal Law, our State doesn't need the expense of
litigation that will lose.
SB 435 will effect tourism, costing Calif. millions of dollars.
SB 435 will cost Calif. millions of dollars in lost tax revenue and registration fees due to lost motorcycle sales.
SB 435 will place another government burden on the sellers of new motorcycles in a depressed economy leading to lost jobs.
Pick your favorite argument ,please no loud pipes arguments , noiseoff,org has inoculated them against that one.
Add one of the above and mail it to me, I will personally deliver the letters by visiting each member of the committee myself
and register our opposition in person.
If SB435 passes the comm. , the next action will be in the Assembly. , it will happen fast , if it passes the Assembly, it goes to the
Senate for a concurrence vote, if it is passes it goes to the Governor. So we have several shots at this.
I will get to Jan and see what can be done getting some of those letters sent to me via electronic. I want a handful of letters
when I knock on their door, give me the letters and I'll get the microphone!!!
I need old fashioned paper letters to put in their face, to wave while I tell them whats up.
This is California, if SB 435 passes it will be knocking on your door next!!!!
Won't you join me. B.O.L.T. is ready to make it's presence known at the Capitol
We need to sway DEMOCRAT VOTES. So here they are. Time they meet some Bikers who think "neutral" is the space between gears.
