California Motorcyclist Anti-Profiling Coalition

OFF THE WIRE
April 27, 2018

Hello friends:

On April 10th our Motorcyclist Anti-Profiling bill was heard on the Assembly floor and we did NOT get enough votes to pass!  HOWEVER, we were granted “reconsideration” which means we were given time – until the end of May – to persuade legislators to vote our way.  It is CRITICAL that each of us contact our legislators and as many of these legislators as you possibly can and ask them to support or AB 2972 when it comes up for reconsideration!

These calls or emails do not have to be elaborate or hard!  Simply call or email and respectfully ask the staff member who answers the phone to please let the Assembly member know that you request for him / her to support AB 2972.  That is all there is to it!

I have attached a list of 29 legislators that abstained from voting on our April 10th hearing of our Motorcyclist Anti-Profiling bill.  Our committee feels that these are the critical legislators to try and get them to vote for our bill.  Their contact information is on the attached sheet.  Please do not put this off!  Even on the weekend you can leave a message on their answering machines or email them.  Do not let a simple phone call or email stop you from protecting YOUR right to ride hassle free!

If your Assembly member is not on this list contact them also.  You can find your Assembly member at www.findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us immediately at antiprofilingbill@abate.org

We are having hard copies of the attachment printed and will be shipping them next week.  IF you can help distribute them to your friends, bike shops, etc., and if you wish to help, please email us your shipping address and we will see to it that you get some.

Please share this email and the attachment with everyone you know!

Thank you!
