"All trail-access decisions are political decisions"

The Trail Political Action Committee (TPAC) was founded as the first national non-partisan political action committee dedicated solely to championing responsible off-highway vehicle recreation on designated roads, trails, and areas on public lands through the electoral and legislative processes.
*
The TPAC tactical goal is to target key races using state-of-the art real-time analysis where there is a tough election and the pro-access candidate needs some extra support to help to defeat their opponent.
*
TPAC is needed to counter the anti-access special interests in Washington DC who have long ago figured that contributing to closure-oriented politicians is how they will accomplish their goal of restricting OHV access on federal lands.
*
TPAC is ready to stand in that political breach to stop the flow of anti-access politicians into the Capital. TPAC will work hard to reverse that trend so that pro-access legislators will exist as the majority in Congress and the White House.

NATIONAL FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SPOKESMAN ENDORSES THE TRAIL PAC

MOKELUMNE HILL, CA – A national spokesman for responsible four-wheel drive recreation on public lands endorsed The Trail PAC today.  Del Albright, president of Albright Enterprises in the Sierra Nevada, has been in land-use advocacy for almost 30 years, with 50 years of off-road recreation under his belt.

Del Albright, also a photojournalist that stays in touch with the national scene states, “Off-road voters must become actively involved in the election process.  In the 21st Century, the electoral process is just as important as the administrative or legal process when it comes to keeping our trails open for public use.”

“I support TPAC because it gives motorized recreationists a political champion that is singularly focused on the 2012 election cycle and how it will impact our trail access. I am proud to endorse the efforts of TPAC and am encouraging my network to support it with endorsements and donations,” Albright concludes.

OFF-ROAD HERO ENDORSES THE TRAIL PAC

SAN CARLOS, CA - An off-road racing champion and long-time supporter of efforts to protect trail access on public lands endorsed The Trail PAC today.  Chris Carter, president of Motion Pro in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been an industry leader in land-use advocacy since the 1980s.

Chris Carter, Founder of Motion Pro, states, “I believe that trail enthusiasts must be involved on every front in the fight to keep trails open for responsible OHV recreation.
Off-road voters must become informed and engaged in the electoral process because it is politicians who designate which areas are open or closed to motorized recreation.”

“I believe The Trail PAC is an important tool that should be added to the land-use tool box.  I am proud to endorse the efforts of TPAC to help elect politicians who will support
the trail community,” Carter concludes.

The Trail PAC Makes Dirt Bike News


The Trail PAC wants to thank AMA District 36 for helping get the word out about our efforts.  As many of you know, D36 is one of the most politically active OHV organizations in the country.  Dave Pickett (D36’s head political guru) figured out long ago that off-road voters must become engaged in the political and electoral process if our sport is to survive.

Thanks D36 for your support!
