Why Just Helmets?

The sole mission of RIDE2REPEAL.COM is to end helmet laws. On the surface, this may seem like we're ignoring many other important issues. But just like an iceberg, there's a lot more than what meets the eye.

Focused Energy

In fighting any battle, it makes sense to first concentrate your energy. Once you do that, you can aim this energy right at your enemy's weak spot, and then hit it with everything you've got. This concept has been used in warfare throughout the ages, and it's called "concentration of force."

The helmet law is a galvanizing issue. We use it to recruit bikers that share a common desire for personal freedom in their daily lives. And as a group, we focus this concentrated energy in the most productive way to build a legislative majority. And that's through campaign work ... which happens to be right where our enemies are the weakest.

Our opponents will always beat us in a war of words before the public. But they can't compete with us because they lack our focus. And because they never do campaign work. So nothing they say can possibly speak louder than our actions in shaping the state legislature.

Fringe Benefits

When people express their opinions about helmet laws, they show their true colors on other issues as well. Of all the politicians that oppose helmet laws, the vast majority of them also believe in personal responsibility, individual liberty, and limited government. Get them elected, and freedom is automatically part of the bargain.

People on the other side of the helmet law issue have a few things in common, too. They treat people like livestock. They interfere with the personal decisions of people they'll never know or understand. They believe the needs of the group outweigh the rights of the individual. (Of course they decide what the group needs.) Let them get elected and you already know what they'll do to you.

The Big Picture

So the helmet law fight is about more than just helmets. First, it brings the right kind of bikers together with a common purpose, and it leaves everyone else to watch from the sidelines.

It channels our energy into meaningful and productive activity. While bypassing our enemies we fight -- and win -- the decisive battles. And in victory we discover and explore a whole new world of freedom.
