Critical Mass

In the world of physics, put enough radioactive material into a small area, and a nuclear reaction takes place. But take the same amount and spread it across a large area, and you have nothing special.

What works in the world of physics also applies to the world of politics.

Bikers rights activists believe that it takes hundreds of bikers to make a difference. Perhaps thousands. And that's true, if they are scattered in a hundred different directions - doing a hundred different things.

The less effective the effort, the more bikers it will take.

Go off on a tangent, and there are not enough bikers in the world to make a dent. A classic example is looking for statistical "proof" that helmet laws are flawed. Even if you do find proof, it doesn't make a bit of difference. And that's because "proof" will never create a legislative majority.

It's also true that only a few dozen, in the right place and the right time, are more powerful than those hundreds ... or even thousands. That's because the more effective the effort, the less effort it takes.

The only problem is that most bikers rights advocates are really good at doing practically everything except the one thing that matters most:

CAMPAIGN WORK!

If a dozen bikers voluntered in a couple of really competitive races, they would cause a chain reacton.

First, they would be learning the ropes of campaign work. And we learn by doing. While rookies make mistakes, practice makes perfect. That's a spark.

Second, they help a biker-friendly candidate win a tight race. That takes us one step closer to a biker-friendly majority. That's a flame.

Third, they earn a reputation as a political force. When it comes to winning elections, legislators will know that bikers make a difference. That's a chain reaction.

Sure, it sounds simple. But the reality is that bikers don't know they have this kind of power in their hands, right here and right now.

Fortunately it does NOT take very many bikers to make this work. A few dozen is more than enough to reach critical mass. Then all it takes is one spark.

You can act right now.

To get started, click on the red  SUBSCRIBE  tab at the top of RIDE2REPEAL.COM. When there's an election near you, you'll be the first to hear about it. And do something about it.

Your anonymous subscription also allows us to put you on the map, showing where biker activists are in your state. Subscribers show up on the map as blue motorcycles, and experienced campaign volunteers are the red ones. To see how your state is doing, click on the blue  STATE MAPS  tab to see. Or click here for a more localized example.

The most important place to get info is on our  ELECTIONS  page. Scroll down to your state, and every race is listed. Click on a candidate's name to visit their website ... so you can contact them about becoming a campaign volunteer.

Why is campaign work so important? Because ELECTIONS are the key to political power. Show me a king, and I'll show you a kingmaker.

It's how the "Gray Panthers" keep Social Security benefits intact, no matter how bankrupt the system becomes. It's how the entertainment industry keeps royalties flowing from generation to generation, long after Elvis has left the building.

But bikers aren't a majority like the elderly, and we aren't flush with cash like the mega-corporations. Our strength lies in our ability to work ... as campaign volunteers.

That's something our political opponents won't do. And the only way they can beat us is if we won't, either.
