The pilot light from a gas hot water heater is a clear and present danger.?

We shouldn?t use it,? pour it,? or store it inside the basement, garage, or any other building.?? That can of gas you have for the lawnmower should stay out in the yard.? An almost-empty gas can is a fume-filled bomb waiting for an excuse to go off !? If you spill any? amount of gas,? wash it down with a LOT of water to neutralize it.?

If you take gas cans to the station for filling, ?ground? them by setting them on the ground? to fill them ?.not in the back of the pick-up?and keep the nozzle touching the lip of the can.? There have been some spectacular explosions caused by this mistake recently.? ? Without gasoline, we would be pushing our Bike down the road,? or pedaling a ten-speed to Sturgis.?

John- You left out a VERY important fact here. Semi trucks are designed to stop 80,000 loads and the brake systems are set up for that weight. When the truck is empty, it is vastly overpowered concerning the braking system. You pull out in front of the truck, the driver hits the brakes to avoid you, and the brakes lock up resulting in an uncontrolled skid. Not a good thing. Those double aluminum bulk trailers you all see only weigh 22,000 punds on a brake system designed to stop 80,000 pounds. Think about it!!

With ABATE of California leading a massive grass-roots effort, you are being asked to contact your legislator to urge passage of this bill.? ?

This information will be vital as we prepare for the upcoming primary campaign season, saving us a lot of leg work as the pace of election activity picks up. A little knowledge now will go a long way later. ? Of course, there is no better evidence of how legislators will vote than their voting record. The first step is the Transportation Committee, where the odds are pretty good that we can get a recorded vote.

This is why it's vitally important that we take the time to canvass each Assembly Member now, while?AB695?is under consideration. While they may not care about helmet laws at any other time, it's their job to evaluate pending legislation. So let's take advantage of their time and effort by simply asking them how they intend to vote on it (and urge them to support it, of course). ? Once you find out where they stand, please let me know. I'll immediately share your input with the hardest working man in Sacramento, ABATE lobbyist Jim Lombardo. While RIDE2REPEAL.COM is focused on the elections next year, Jim needs your immediate support so he can work his mojo while the bill is working its way through the legislature. ? Let's pull out all the stops, work together like never before, and help push this bill all the way to the Governor's desk. And regardless of how it turns out, we'll be ready when the campaign season rolls around too. ? Thanks for your help. ? -- ? Douglas Findlay ?
