Progress Report

There are a lot of things bikers do to fight the universal helmet law. But the most effective thing, by far, is to work as a campaign volunteer for a biker-friendly candidate in a tight race.

That's what we do. And with the Virginia elections coming in about one month, we are busy ... making progress.

Yesterday a few bikers worked for a Delegate who's running for reelection. It's a close race. He's on the transportation committee, and he always votes for repeal. He said he'd like to sponsor our next repeal bill.

Do you think he'd have offered to sponsor a repeal bill if it weren't for bikers coming to help him in the political fight of his life?

Forget about it!

Today we'll be helping another candidate in a different part of Virginia. This one is a freshman in the world of state politics. It's pretty certain he'll win. But again, we were there to help him through a tough primary battle.

During the last session, neither one of these candidates new we existed. Then we helped them in their time of need. And in the course of helping them, they got to know us on a personal basis. That means that, during lobby day, we'll come as friends -- not as strangers.

That's what I call PROGRESS.
