Rules Are Rules

There are basic rules that apply to all battles. It doesn't matter whether it's hand-to-hand combat, the D-Day invasion, or the fight for our rights. And just like in physics, we can ignore the rules ...

... but they will still be there, just the same.

The fancy name for this example is "force concentration." If we put all our energy into a small area, and apply it to our opponent's weak spot, we inflict the most damage on them. It's like using a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays on a pinpoint, using a shaped explosive charge, or winding up for a punch.

Same total energy, but concentrated.

So the more we narrow down our time, attention, and effort, the more powerful we become. Conversely, the wider our battle front, the less powerful (and more vulnerable) we are. This becomes even more evident with fewer people in our ranks. And face it, we aren't exactly the Chinese army, with an unlimited supply of troops.

I agree that any affront to our rights is bad. But the way to win isn't by fighting on as many fronts as possible. The exact opposite is true. That's why "special interest groups" are so powerful. Not because they're right, but because they're focused. So from a purely tactical standpoint, we stay right on target.

I prefer winning to fighting.

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.
