Biker Make-Over

We bikers have an image problem.

Not to the public, or even to ourselves. It's how the politicians see us that needs improvement.

Right now, legislators see us as an entertaining little group of people who make a lot of noise, but don't have any real impact on their political world. so they ignore us.

As a voting block, bikers are what strategists call an "acceptable loss." We're a tiny fraction of the voting public. The issues we care about most (our rights) aren't even on the radar for most people ... politicians included.

We can't change that perception by being better bikers. Poker runs and charity drives won't do the trick. Even traditional biker politics, like protesting or lobbying, fall short of delivering what we need: Political Power.

The only way we can get out of the ditch is to change direction. That means we have to change ourselves before we can ever expect to change anything else.

While politicians may overlook bikers, they are firmly fixated on campaign workers. They're the lifeblood of any successful political campaign. Politicians can always get elected without the help of bikers. But they could never hope to win office without campaign volunteers.

If you want to become a campaign volunteer, start by clicking on the red  SUBSCRIBE  tab at the top of the page. That's the first step on the road to freedom.

The rest is up to you.
