Independent candidate for Governor, Carol Keeton Strayhorn attended the Austin Confederation of Clubs meeting at Cyndi’s Gone HOG WILD this past Sunday. She spoke to the group and answered questions from the audience.
There was a really good turnout and she then walked around and spoke to individuals prior to the meeting actually getting started.
There was no attorney present so no official business was conducted. We shared information about upcoming events and generally shared other information.
The Austin Minutemen Chapter of TMRA 2 will hold their next meeting at Cyndi’s Gone HOG WILD on October 3rd at 7:30 pm. ,located Hwy 71 near Del Valley, with our new Coordinator Bart Luck. Thanks Bart for stepping up.

These prices are based on purchases of 10 signs or more. You can add the signs together to get a price break, for instance 5 ea. of the 24×24 and 5 ea. of the 18×24. They may not hold us to the 10 or more, we’ll just have to see as we order signs. Hopefully we will need to order 10 sets at a time!
Call the company to order your signs, give them the shipping address for your order and pay with a credit card over the phone.

Just when you thought it was safe to ride your bike again…
Our old enemy, Senator Frank Lautenburg of New Jersey is coming after us again…through our Governors!!!! It’s not enough that we killed his safety-nazi agenda during the amendment process in TEA-LU. He doesn’t give a shit about what we or anyone else wants. He’s a one man jack-booted thug that won’t stop until we’re all wearing helmets and paying homage to him.
Read his latest attempt at stealing away your rights at the following link:
http://www.solriders.com/pdf/lautenberg.pdf
Spread this news far and wide. EVERY biker in the nation needs to see how this snake in the grass is working against us – not only in Washington – but in our statehouses, too!!! Every biker needs to contact his/her governor tomorrow and explain that you and your state don’t appreciate Frankie sticking his nose in our business.
And it might not hurt to send Frankie boy a little message about how he should stay out of issues that are strictly “states rights”.
Here’s a link to his “contact page”…these elected servants don’t use regular email anymore:
http://lautenberg.senate.gov/contact/
If you want to contact him the old fashioned way:

You know what to do when attacked right?
Let the hounds have at it!!!
