OFF THE WIRE
Any clubs or COIR please fwd me a sample letter that I can distribute , to help others, sample letters will be on there way, San Antonio did very well on the last call to action, lets do it again......Thanking all the Brothers and Sisters in advance
Instructions to follow, read and follow them.................
To all,
Due to the recent actions by the US Secretary of Transportation, Ray
LaHood and his newly appointed Administrator Mr. David Strickland of
NHTSA, we are Calling to Action all members of our motorcycle community
to participate in this very important issue. This Call To Action is
supported by every Motorcycle Rights
Organization(MRF,AMA,TMRA2,TMRA,ABATE,MMA) and must be carried out and
delivered by the US Defenders/C.O.I.R, and all Confederations or
Coalitions in every State!
Mandatory Roadblocks are being carried out in many states under the ruse
of a "Safety Check". These roadblocks or checkpoints for motorcycles
ONLY are being conducted illegally and are discriminatory to say the
least. This is one more piece of evidence of the constant profiling
attempts targeting our community at large. There are law suits that will
be brought from MRO's and different States very soon. We can all do our
part with by participating.
There has been a resolution drafted by our friends from the north, Rep.
Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin) H.R. 1498 supporting efforts to retain a
ban on NHTSA's ability to lobby State Legislators using our federal
dollars through the "Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstration" grant
program. Suspend this program now, (DTNH22-10-R-00386) for your
reference.
We support each State's rights to determine their own helmet policies,
NOT David Strickland's position of wanting to, " put a helmet on every
motorcyclists head" to reduce accidents and fatalities. The statistics
prove that motorcycle safety and awareness , in conjunction with riders
training programs across the country have a far greater impact in
reducing injuries and fatalities .The funding the government has set
aside would be much better spent in causation studies, such as the one
being conducted right now in Oklahoma.
All motorcyclists need to participate by writing ,calling, emailing and
faxing Ray LaHood, David Strickland, and most importantly your elected
United States representatives! Ask your Legislators for their support of
H.R. 1498 Sensenbrenner on this issue, and do it today!
If you need a sample letter or help drafting one, contact your US
Defenders Commander immediately.
