ABATE is asking for your help. Whether you believe everyone should wear a helmet or not, it is NOT the federal governments place to enact helmet laws.it's a states' issue at best. A helmet bill is buried in the 350-page document known as President Obama's GROW AMERICA ACT. Please take the time to write or email the President, each Senator, and your Congressperson. Let them know that you are not pleased with the helmet provision in this proposed legislation.

The proposal has a specific provision that would allow the federal government to push a mandatory helmet law, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) reports. Parking:Buried in the 350 page document is language that would amend current United States code, which provides the motorcycle safety money that would allow "the Secretary [of transportation] or the Secretary's designee [to] engage in activities with States and State legislators to consider proposals related to motorcycle helmet use laws." This provision is unacceptable to the MRF, and it's safe to say, the United States House of Representatives. Labeled as "Support Activity" in the draft legislation, it's a thinly veiled stab at a mandatory national helmet law. The draft is titled "Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America," or GROW AMERICA Act. You can read the whole document here: http://www.dot.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/docs/DOT_surface_reauth-FINAL.pdf The draft legislation also has incentive grants for graduated auto licensing. The MRF urges you to contact your Representative in the House and both of your Senators. You can reach the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. In addition, the MRF asks that you contact the White House directly and let them know you are not pleased with the helmet use provisions of President Obama's GROW AMERICA Act. You can reach the White House several different ways from this website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation urges you to join your fellow freedom fighters in Washington on May 15th to lobby Congress and help stop this legislation. Please register for the event on the MRF website. If you have any questions about attending this most important day for motorcyclists, please call the MRF Washington D.C. office.

GREAT NEWS! 05 23 2014 Message-ID: <01f401cf76e0$5ac89380$1059ba80$@rr.com> I don?t know how many of you are on the ABATE State Discussion List, but if you are not, please read Nick?s important message below. He?s asking everyone to print a petition and have 10 people sign it. Pretty easy to do. You can either scan/email, fax, or mail to him. Also, our meeting is a week from Sunday and you could bring them with you and I?ll make sure Nick gets the copies. This is mostly an off-road issue BUT it also affects us because it will repeal part of a helmet use requirement by California and can be beneficial when we introduce our next Helmet Modification Legislation. ABATE has an off-road division and we try to support their issues just as we?d like them to support the street bike side. If you?d like to read the bill, here?s a link: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_1801-1850/ab_1835_bill_20140218_introduced.pdf To keep track of the bill, this link will help: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery I think. This won?t take much of your time, and is a step forward in the fight! Please do your part. Nancy From: news at abate.org [mailto:news at abate.org] On Behalf Of ABATE News Sent: Friday, May 23, 2014 4:11 PM To: ABATE News Subject: CALL TO ACTION! GREAT NEWS! 05 23 2014 local 23 May 23, 2014 Hello ABATE member! Great news folks! Assemblymember Kristin Olsen?s staff just informed me that her AB 1835 made it out of the full Assembly Floor today on a vote of 44 ? 23! AB 1835 repeals the mandatory usage of helmets by adults in Side X Sides. This is awesome news for freedom lovers! The bill will now advance to the Senate Transportation Committee in a couple of weeks. I will ride to Sacramento for that hearing as I did the Assembly Transportation hearing and would love for any of you to join me. I will let you know the date. But what we need right now is for each of you to print out at least one of the attached petitions and have just ten people including yourself fill it out and sign it and send it back to me. If each one of you do that, we will have over 10,000 signatures to take to the capitol in a couple of weeks! We only have a couple of weeks, so I am hoping that each of you will complete at least one petition (more if you would like) and send it back to me via email nick at abate.org OR fax 760.253.4642 OR snail mail Nick Benson Sr, 25434 West Main Street, Barstow, CA 92311. Remember, just ten signatures from each of you could make or break the next vote! Please get them done now! Please do NOT respond directly to this email, it is NOT monitored for incoming messages.
