Decision Time

For every state except New Jersey and Virginia, this is an election year. This is the only time when bikers have the ability to take control.

It's time we decide.

Outside of the campaign season, we can only ask for our rights. Once in office, politicians have nothing to gain by helping us. And nothing to lose by ignoring us. You've seen it a million times.

In an election year, the tables are turned. WE decide who gets elected. That is the very definition of political power. And all politicians, whether friend or foe, respect that kind of power.

But as long as we sit on the sidelines, watching the parade go by, we have no power. Instead we must stand in line with everyone else who wants something for nothing. And like everyone else, we must take what we're given.

Let's stop the cycle of powerlessness. Go to RIDE2REPEAL.COM and click on ELECTIONS. Find your state, and look for the nearest candidate who's earned the "green light." Then just click on their name to volunteer.

What if your state isn't listed? That means nobody in your state is telling us who's biker-friendly (and who isn't). That's easy enough to fix, if you're willing to take that first step.

For those states that are listed, all the homework has been done. If you can poke campaign signs into the ground for as little as an hour, victory is in your hands. With that simple act, you've made a difference. More than writing, more than protesting, and even more than lobbying.

Want your rights back? Go and get them ... while they are within reach.
