Subject: CMT/ABATE of Tennessee Needs Our Help
CMT/ABATE of TN is our sister organization and they are currently
working on a helmet bill in their state that would give adults the
option to ride free. I ask that you do two things. First is to please
take the online poll in the first link. Next is to please contact the
Tennessee legislature as well as anyone you may know in Tennessee and
get the calls going in support of these two bills. There is a sample
letter below along with links to key legislators. Let's help our
neighbor to the south. They did the same for us.
Thanks Jay Huber

I say all citizens because this issue
is much bigger than the liberty of your motorcycle constituents. The small mom
and pop merchants of your district deserve to enjoy the positive economic
impact of motorcycle tourism that helmet choice has provided in thirty-one
other states.

When Michigan restored their adult
choice last year, out of state motorcycles started showing up for tourism
events and ‘just because’ road trips. This was an immediate reward to local
businesses.

If you are concerned about the fearful
numbers of the liberty opponents, consider this simple fact: There are 31 other
states who afford adult motorcyclists the rights to choose with more than 40
years history on the subject. If the Pennsylvania Legislature can study the
subject not once but twice and find no significant impact, then surely
Tennessee deserves to become the 32nd state.

I understand that my Liberty Bill has a
2 year report designed exactly like PA conducted. Please help us get real
numbers from this trial period and ignore the hypothetical numbers that have
failed to repeal helmet laws in 31 other states.

We can both bet that if the sky really
does fall and motorcyclist’s uninsured injuries start to bleed the state
treasury that the liberty opponents will be there to point out that the mandate
must be restored.
