Here are the members of the Civil Practices Committee. This is the committee our Equal Access Bill, HB 706 will probably go to. Contact these Representatives and let them know you are supportive of this Bill. As soon as we are sure we have the votes to bring this Bill out of committee we will ask for a hearing. Note that Rep. Madden has already said yes.
Drop by the local office of your Rep and let them know you support this Bill. They are generally in their offices on Friday.
Civil Practices Committee:
Chair: Rep. Byron Cook - Corsicana
V. Chair Mark Strama - Austin
Members:
Phil King - Weatherford
Jerry Madden - Yes
Trey Martinez Fisher - San Antonio
Sid Miller - Stephenville
Richard Raymond - Laredo
Robert Talton - Pasadena
It is imperative that those in Henderson & Kaufman Counties contact the office of Rep. Betty Brown. You can call her Austin office at 512-463-0458. Generate us some calls.
Our signal light adjustment Bill is written. I will get down to the capitol and read it this evening and if it is agreeable it will be filed and get a number by early next week. We shall also get sponsors for our Bills in the Senate next week as well.
The association needs 3000 new members to stay afloat this year. For too long now the cost of running this association has been borne by a few bikers. Everyone in Texas who rides benefits from what we accomplish at the capitol. The cost for membership in TMRA 2 is less than one six pack of beer, one pack of cigarettes or one mixed drink in your favorite bar (per month.) That is the best bargain you can find anywhere in the country based on what you get for your money. Our next update will list the top six cities and the number of members we have in each. For those who think that someone else will do it for you this should open your eyes to the fallacy of such thinking.We need your membership to continue representation for your rights. 3000 is a very small percentage of the 400,000 registered bike owners.
Ron with the Clubhouse Magazine said he received a post from an ABATE member in New Yorg saying that our legislative Day Rally was shown on Fox News in that state. Those who attended pat yourself on the back.
