To be, or not to be?

That's a good question ... one that bikers rights activists should ask themselves. Put another way, it's not a matter of what you think ... but what you do.

Do you spend a lot of time figuring out the truth about helmet laws? Digging for data? Searching for that "smoking gun?" And once you reach a new level of understanding, do you try to spread the gospel among the riding masses? Then you are definitely a thinker ... but not necessarily a doer.

If you aready know the truth about helmet laws (they SUCK), you are not alone. So you don't need to preach, to the choir or to anyone else. All you have to do is band together with those who also share your opposition to such an affront.

Forget about the fence-sitters and the stone deaf. No need.

Instead put your energy into the one and only thing that matters most: campaign work. There's no convincing, and no debating. Just delivering votes to the only person who can restore your rights.

When there is a biker-friendly legislature, there is no helmet law. Statistics and anecdotes are meaningless in the face of a legislative majority. Same goes for the court of public opinion. Again, there's no need.

So will you be a part of the solution, or will you keep farting around? You don't have to be Shakespeare to answer that question.

Ready for Action?

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 and around the country. Subscribers show up on the map as blue motorcycles, and experienced campaign volunteers are the green 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.
