TMRA2 Legislative Update

ABATE of Michigan is asking for help. Read below, text from ABATE of Michigan President and US Defenders State Commander Escondido Paul.

 

To all US Defender Commanders;

The State of Michigan is asking for our help. Please send  a letter of

opinion from your individual “FREE” States expressing your support for all Michigan motorcyclists and enthusiasts.

Show solidarity for our motorcycle community in this simple task. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact myself, or our US Defender Commander in Michigan Kickstand, [kickstand@usmvmcmi2.org].

We thank you in advance for participating.

Respect to all,
Escondido Paul

 

From:  Vince Consiglio, President, ABATE of Michigan

ABATE of Michigan would like the help of all motorcyclists in their fight for freedom.   Senate Bill 291 passed the Michigan Senate in late June.  We are asking all rights activists to send a postcard to Michigan’s Governor, Rick Snyder, urging him to support motorcycle helmet choice for adults.

A postcard from a “FREE” state may help him realize that Michigan loses motorcycle money every day of the summer with a mandatory helmet law.

Governor Snyder prides himself on being all about business and helping business.  Please urge Governor Snyder to support adult choice.

MAIL to:

Governor Rick Snyder
State Capital
P.O. Box 30013
Lansing, Michigan 48909
517 373-3400

Thanks for helping us in our efforts.

SAMPLE LETTER / POSTCARD

To the Honorable Governor Rick Snyder

Dear Governor Snyder,

I live in Texas and during the summer months, I look forward to riding my motorcycle in the cooler Northern states. However, I choose to ride and spend my hard earned money in freedom of choice states. If you would consider signing Senate Bill 291 into law, I would consider visiting your lovely state. I understand there is a lot of beautiful countryside in the northern region of Michigan and would love to see it one day. Texas has a freedom of choice Helmet Law that everyone can live with and it is very similar to your SB 291.

Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully,

(Name)

Please be advised that Tom Maddux from Groesbeck, Texas  is no longer doing any rallies to support the Texas Motorcycle Rights Association.  Any HOT Rally or other events at Lost Prairie Cycles is no longer affiliated with the TMRA2.
Tom held rallies for us for the last five years that basically kept the association going along with the TMRA2 chapters and members helping.  We appreciate all their hard work and dedication and would like to thank Tom and everyone who helped out with the rallies.
Since we no longer have that funding from Tom’s rallies, we are starting a new rally at Jim’s Cycle Shop in Axtell, Texas, Oct., 7th, 8th, 9th, 2011.
The web site is http://takebacktexasrally.com
We are asking that all TMRA2 members pre-register for this event even if you can’t make it so the association can stay afloat.
The “Take Back Texas Rally” needs to be supported by all members and bikers across Texas in order to keep the association going by bringing in vendors, sponsors, and pre-registrations as soon as possible…
If anyone in Senate District 5 has any questions or needs help with the TMRA2 chapter at Ben Hur, please contact secretary, Sandra Lynch or Oak at the numbers below.
The Texas Owner Group, the chapter for District 5 is still going strong and meets once a month on the 2nd Sunday of the each month at the Ben Hur Bar @ 1:00pm Contact, Sandra Lynch sndrlynch@yahoo.com (254) 537-1228 or TMRA2 Coordinator Monty “Oak” Harris at monte.harris2001@yahoo.com (254) 723-2301.
