From nemecek at san.rr.com Tue Jun 2 18:07:32 2015 From: nemecek at san.rr.com (Nancy Nemecek) Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2015 18:07:32 -0700 Subject: [ABATE Local 6 Elist] ***SPAM*** FW: Urgent! Call To Action! Message-ID: <09f201d09d99$abe0add0$03a20970$@rr.com> I read part of this earlier today as a MSF CTA, and quite frankly didn?t note the timing urgency. IT IS URGENT! Please read the CTA below and make a telephone call TOMORROW. The key words in the CTA below is: Congressman Tim Walberg (MI) and Jim Sensenbrenner (WI) have filed an amendment that would strike this language. Call your Congressman and ask that they support the Walberg/Sensenbrenner amendment to strike section 102 from H.R. 2577. The information for contacting the legislators: You can find your Representative here: www.house.gov/representatives/find/ ? Yours should be either Scott Peters or Susan Davis if you live in San Diego County: Find the full list of United States House of Representatives and their phone numbers at www.house.gov/representatives/ . You can also use the Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Please call tomorrow morning and keep the Feds from slipping this language into this bill. Thanks, Nancy From: news at abate.org [mailto:news at abate.org] On Behalf Of ABATE News Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2015 5:16 PM To: ABATE News Subject: Urgent! Call To Action! Our ABATE lobbyist ? Jim Lombardo - has asked me to forward this urgent call to action to you. Although the timing is horribly short (all of us must do this by tomorrow!), it is imperative that our voices be heard because HR 2577 will allow NITSA to lobby states to pass helmet bills and other anti motorcycling legislation in states. The amendment we are supporting would put the ban back in place. Thanks, Nick Benson Sr -- ABATE Board Secretary Motorcycle Riders Foundation http://motorcycleridersfoundation.wildapricot.org/ Facebook Twitter URGENT CALL TO ACTION June 2, 2015 The United States House of Representatives will vote on a measure that could be detrimental to motorcyclists. H.R. 2577 is an appropriations bill that funds the Department of Transportation, among other things. Especially concerning is section 102. Section 102 would allow the Secretary of Transportation or his designee to engage in activities with States and State legislators to consider proposals related to the reduction of motorcycle fatalities. This seemingly innocent provision is a direct attack on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) lobby ban. Congressman Tim Walberg (MI) and Jim Sensenbrenner (WI) have filed an amendment that would strike this language. Call your Congressman and ask that they support the Walberg/Sensenbrenner amendment to strike section 102 from H.R. 2577. H.R. 2577, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) act will be voted on as early as Wednesday June 3rd. We need to call every Congressman immediately. The House floor schedules are hectic and subject to change so please make your calls soon.

From: Motorcycle Riders Foundation [mailto:MotorcycleRidersFoundation at wildapricot.org] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2015 1:01 PM To: ABATE of California Subject: HR 2577 Walberg/Sensenbrenner/Ribble Amendment Passes Motorcycle Riders Foundation http://motorcycleridersfoundation.wildapricot.org/ Facebook Twitter Your Action Pays off June 4, 2015 On June 4th the United States House of Representatives agreed to an amendment to the 2016 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill that struck a provision that would have overturned the U.S. Department of Transportation lobby ban. The measure was approved on the House floor reports the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. The Amendment offered by Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) along with Mr. Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Mr. Ribble (R-WI), eliminates a provision in the 2016 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations act that would have allowed the Secretary of Transportation to discuss motorcycle safety initiatives with state legislators. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation thanks Congressman Walberg, Sensenbrenner, and Ribble for their dedication to freedom and motorcycling. In 1998 Congress passed a law that made it illegal for the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to lobby state legislatures on any issue. Prior to 1998, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), USDOT had spent tens of thousands of dollars traveling to states whenever a state debated changing their own state helmet law or any other law that USDOT deemed worthy to interfere on. Seeing this as a waste of taxpayer money, the congress prohibited anyone from USDOT to lobby states uninvited. Mr. Walberg had this to say, ?The federal government should not be in the business of lobbying state and local officials with federal money.? He added, ?I believe the most effective way to reduce motorcycle injuries and fatalities is to prevent these crashes from occurring in the first place, Madam Chairperson, that means putting between the ears as opposed to simply on the head.? See the Walberg video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHIMdT7ycfc ?I cannot think of a single issue where the federal government should waste resources lobbying a state entity for something that the state doesn't want?, said Jeff Hennie, Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs for the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. He added ?With such limited, precious motorcycle safety funds, they need to be used in areas of safety that are proven, not for bureaucratic waste.? The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) thanks everyone who made calls on this important issue; your participation was key in getting this amendment to pass.

From: news at abate.org [mailto:news at abate.org] On Behalf Of ABATE News Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2015 11:03 AM To: ABATE News Subject: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ABATE member: The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is urging all of us to make our opposition to this proposal. Contact information is listed at the end of the article. Thanks, Nick Benson Sr ABATE Board Secretary Facebook Twitter National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking June 8, 2015 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, which concerns motorcycle safety helmets. NHTSA proposes to modify the existing performance requirements of the standard by adding construction requirements. The reasoning behind this is to aid state and local law enforcement officers in enforcing FMVSS No. 218, allowing an officer to visually determine whether a helmet meets the safety standard. NHTSA is currently accepting public comments on this proposal, and will continue to do so until July 20, 2015. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation opposes NHTSA?s proposal. The proposal fails to take into consideration the rapid pace of technological change in this area. By adopting arbitrary dimension and compression requirements, NHTSA will effectively be shutting out manufacturers who utilize technology to construct helmets which, while failing to meet NHTSA's construction requirements, may very well exceed their performance requirements. It is conceivable that, by the time the new proposals were adopted, they would already be obsolete. To compound that problem, if such a situation did arise?and it almost certainly will?the process of amending the safety standard is so long and complicated that it is not feasible to make periodic changes in order to include technological advancements in motorcycle helmet construction. FMVSS No. 218 should remain primarily a performance standard, not a construction standard. NHTSA's answer to this problem is to create a list of motorcycle helmets that will be exempt from the proposed construction requirements. The helmets on this list will comply with the performance requirements of FMVSS No. 218, but while they fail to meet its proposed construction requirements, they will nonetheless be deemed to have met the proposed safety standard. This confusing strategy ignores the fact that the law enforcement officer on the street will not have immediate access to such a list. At best, the officer would not know that the motorcyclist's helmet meets FMVSS No. 218 until after the motorcyclist has been deprived of his or her liberty by being detained and subjected to an inspection of their helmet. At worst, the fact that the motorcyclist's helmet meets the standard would not come to light until after the motorcyclist was forced to come to court. Finally, NHTSA has not fully taken into consideration the very nature of motorcycle helmet enforcement in the United States. Such enforcement is not done federally; it is done at the state and local level according to state laws which may or may not have adopted FMVSS No. 218. Not every state has adopted the federal safety standard. Many that have done so have also adopted alternative safety standards, while others require only that a helmet meet the performance requirements set out in FMVSS No. 218 and not the labeling requirements. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation believes that motorcycle helmet enforcement is a state issue and not a federal issue. This is evidenced by the fact that motorcycle helmet laws vary greatly from state to state. If a particular state is having an issue enforcing its own motorcycle helmet law, that problem is best addressed by that state's elected officials. It does not make sense to address the enforcement of a state statute on the federal level, but that is what the proposed amendments to FMVSS NO. 218 attempt to do. The Motorcycle Riders Foundation urges all riders and rider organizations to comment upon this proposal and to point out the legitimate concerns raised by it. You may submit comments to the proposal by any of the following methods: You may utilize the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov . Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. You may mail comments to the Docket Management Facility: U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001.

As you may remember, ABATE supported the common sense bill AB 8 of Assemblyman Mike Gatto. This bill would allow some police departments to use the emergency alert system aka Amber Alert signs to assist law enforcement find the perpetrators of certain hit and run accidents. As a number of motorcyclists are hit by hit and run drivers each year, this bill is really something that we want. However, the CHP has opposed the legislation even though there has been zero opposition to the bill! Below is my correspondence with Nardos Girma of Mike Gatto?s office. (Nardos Girma?s words are in black, mine are in blue) We NEED to contact the Senate Transportation Committee member asap and make this common sense bill pass! Please do NOT respond directly to this email, it is NOT monitored for incoming messages. Please DO contact us at nick.benson at abate.org or carol at abate.org for questions or information. Thank you for being an ABATE member! Nick Benson Sr Board Member & Secretary ABATE of California, INC 10240 7th AVENUE HESPERIA, CA 92345-2631 Phone: 760.956.1669 / Fax 760.956.6519 http://www.abate.org Hello, I?m reaching out to you because your organization sent us a support letter for AB 8, the Yellow Alert Bill. This bill passed out of both houses of the Legislature last year and has sailed out of every committee (and the Assembly Floor) this year. Despite receiving overwhelming support and zero ?no? votes this year, the bill has now hit a roadblock in Senate Transportation Committee. The Chair of the Committee (Jim Beall) has given the bill a ?no? recommendation and the California Highway Patrol sent a formal opposition letter to the bill. To make sure that the bill makes it out of Transportation Committee we need your help! Please spread the word about this bill to your members and supporters (via Facebook, Twitter, etc.). If the districts you are based in have a Senator on the committee, encourage your members to call that Senator?s office and voice their support for AB 8. Finally, please encourage your members to attend the committee hearing next Tuesday @ 1:30pm, if they are able to. Attached is the Senate Transportation Committee Roster, the Bill Fact Sheet, and Bill language. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you. Nardos Girma Office of Assemblyman Mike Gatto | AD 43 Office: (916) 319-2043 nardos.girma at asm.ca.gov www.asm.ca.gov/gatto Thank you for contacting me. I will send this out to all my members for immediate action. Can you tell me why the CHP would oppose this common sense bill? Thank you, Nick Benson Sr ABATE of California Board Member and Secretary Hi Nick, I?ve attached CHP?s opposition letter which outlines why they oppose the bill. We don?t think their arguments are valid here is our rebuttal to each of their points: The CHP opposition letter raised three main concerns in its opposition letter. The first is that the Yellow Alert would significantly increase the number of alerts displayed on highway Changeable Message Signs, decreasing the effectiveness of the alert system by desensitizing the public and law enforcement officials. However, AB 8 has been narrowly tailored to ensure that the system is not overwhelmed. The alerts would only be issued for severe or fatal hit-and-runs when law enforcements have sufficient information identifying the driver or vehicle. According to an LADP analysis of five years of hit-and-run data in LA, less than 8% of reported hit-and-runs involved an injury and a mere .1% involved a severe or fatal injury (keep in mind that Los Angeles has a much higher frequency of hit-and-runs than most, if not all, cities in California). Additionally, to further prevent the system from being overwhelmed, the alerts would only be issued on a regional basis. When all these factors are combined, the Yellow Alert would be issued in far fewer than .1% of hit-and-runs and this should be enough to ease any concerns about an overwhelmed system. While the implementation of AB 60 will hopefully decrease accidents by previously unlicensed drivers, there is no data to indicate that most hit-and-runs are committed by these drivers. Even if unlicensed drivers are more likely to flee the scene of an accident, for AB 60 to significantly decrease the incidence of hit-and-run accidents, these drivers would have to make up the overwhelming majority of hit-and-run drivers, something that is highly improbable. Finally, the CHP letter stated that there is no process for determining how alerts would be prioritized if multiple alerts are activated simultaneously, a problem that would supposedly be worsened by the addition of the Yellow Alert. The Emergency Alert System, however, has three existing alert systems already in place: the AMBER, Blue, and Silver Alerts. It is doubtful that adding one more alert would suddenly impair the entire system. This is not to say that a method for prioritizing alerts is unnecessary but rather, that that concern exists independent of the Yellow Alert. The Yellow Alert would not be activated for all hit-and-runs. The alert wouldn?t be activated for all hit-and-runs that involve an injury or for hit-and-runs in which the injury is serious or fatal. The alert would only be activated for severe or fatal hit-and-runs for which local law enforcement has sufficient information to identify the driver or vehicle and chooses to use the CMS. Additionally, even then, the Alert would only be used on a regional basis. AB 8 is a narrowly-tailored, carefully crafted bill that will bring justice to victims and their families without overwhelming the state?s Emergency Alert System. _____ No virus found in this message.

Thanks, Nancy From: news at abate.org [mailto:news at abate.org] On Behalf Of ABATE News Sent: Monday, June 29, 2015 4:50 PM To: ABATE News Subject: Urgent AB 8 CTA - Alernate Phone Number! Apparently the phone in Senator Jim Beall's Sacramento office is not working or is overloaded, as an alternate #, try 408.558.1295 Sorry for the inconvenience! Nick Benson Sr local 23 June 29, 2015 Hello ABATE member! Nardos Girma ? staff member for Assemblyman Mike Gatto ? who is a longtime friend of ABAT moments ago contacted me and asked if all ABATE members would please give one final push for the common sense AB 8 bill of his that will allow law enforcement to use the emergency alert system aka Amber Alert Signs in certain hit and run accidents to help them apprehend the perpetrator of these hit and run crimes. Think how nice it would be to have them use the system should one of us or our family members be involved in a hit and run on our motorcycles! Because the hearing is tomorrow ? June 30th - Assemblyman Mike Gatto would like all of us to call Senator Jim Beall?s office at 916.615.4015 and ask him to please SUPPORT AB 8! Even if you call after hours today, you can leave a message on his answering machine. If you cannot call, please email Senator Beall at senator.beall at senate.ca.gov Please make those calls or send those emails now!
