Carol Smith has been working hard for us...let's help....here's her request:
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW!!!! I need letters written, phone calls made, emails sent.
I have been working diligently during this legislative session to get another
funding mechanism for ATV/MC/OHV trails on the floor. This will be a sticker
program, $15 per year. HB 2897, sponsored by Juan Hinojosa, Democrat from McAllen
and SB 1311, sponsored by Ken Armbrister Democrat from Victoria are in committee
now.
I need everyone to contact the sponsors of this bill to give them our support. Feel
free to forward this info out to all your contacts, clubs, anyone you think will
respond. If you are an officer in a club, and/or can speak for your group, mention
that group and how many of you there are. I would appreciate it if you would not
forward my email address if possible.
Please put these bullet points IN YOUR OWN WORDS and either fax, email or snail mail
a handwritten letter as soon as you can. Fax or snail mail is best, I know it's not
the most convenient, but it holds more weight. Just scribble your thoughts on a
sheet of paper and fax it. It's just that easy - just that effective - your
handwritten, faxed letter will be read. IF YOU VALUE MOTORIZED TRAILS - NOW IS THE
TIME TO ACT!!!
thank you for looking after our interests as ATV/MC/OHV users in a state with
little public land
this legislation is very important to us in our quest to open lands for motorized
trails
this legislation will provide us with an additional funding mechanism to open lands
this letter requires no direct response from you ( unless you want one)
If you have other points to make, feel free to do so, just try and keep it on a
positive note( If you feel you need to mention SB 155 , do so in the frame work
that it took away your place to ride/wheel - vent it's fine - but end on a
positive note- let them know that this will help get you an alternative place to
go.)
PLease be sure an address them as Senator, and if you are a constituent, mention
that also.
