USA - Help Needed to Stop Federal Helmet Legislation

OFF THE WIRE
Please read the MRF notice below.  ABATE is asking for your help.  Whether you believe everyone should wear a helmet or not, it is NOT the federal governments place to enact helmet laws…it’s a states’ issue at best.  A helmet bill is buried in the 350-page document known as President Obama’s GROW AMERICA ACT.  Please take the time to write or email the President, each Senator, and your Congressperson.  Let them know that you are not pleased with the helmet provision in this proposed legislation.   Here’s links to help:
·         President Obama                                  http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
·         Senator Barbara Boxer                          http://www.boxer.senate.gov/   Click on “Contact” upper right corner” and “email” in left column.
