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!
Citizens for Balanced Use based in Montana supports TPAC. Our organization has been involved in planning actions all across Montana with limited success in fighting closures. The Forest Service is spending millions of dollars every year obliterating roads and trails once open to multiple use recreation. TPAC needs our support!
ReplyDeleteIs there a place where we can see what TPAC has done? I've read many places where you have gain the support of off road groups but I can't find anything showing that you have actually contacted a congressman about these issues. If you are a legit group actualy taking steps to help out then I'm sorry for questioning you. But so many times a group will form and do nothing more than post alerts of possibly negative legislation and then ask for money to fight it. Letters and votes from constituents will have a huge effect. The sierra club actually likes it when groups form because it converts thousands of voices to one. Please stay active in having your members and supporters contacting their congressmen them selves as well as allowing you to be a voice for them. Posting links to where they can contact their congressmen helps a lot as many do not even know how.
ReplyDeleteDoug, TPAC just started raising money to support pro-trail candidates running for the House, Senate, and White House. TPAC will post which key races/pro-trail candidates we have donated to. That all starts in 2012. Unlike groups that ask you to write letters (that is important!), TPAC deals only in elections and election related efforts. As we grow, we will also work on political initiatives. Thanks for asking!
