ALLEN v. KAINE BATTLE IN NOVEMBER IS KEY
PUBLIC LAND ACCESS FIGHT
WASHINGTON D.C. –
Outdoor recreation access interests are watching to see if George Allen
wins the primary to face Tim Kaine in the November general election.
When Senator George Allen was in prior office (109th
Congress), he was listed as a “Champion of Private Property Rights” by the
League of Private Property Voters.
During that same time-period, then Governor Tim Kaine filed
a petition with the federal government for them to set aside almost 25% of
scarce multiple-use Forest Service lands as “Clinton-era Roadless Areas” on
400,000 acres in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
Don Amador, Founder of The Trail PAC, states, “Off-roaders
will continue to support the George Allen for Senate campaign in this election
as one of our key targeted senate races.
Allen will need our support because the League of Conservation Voters
(LCV) has targeted him for defeat. As
you know, LCV has a voting review committee comprised of hard-core anti-OHV
groups including the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund and The Wilderness
Society.”
“TPAC believes this election is critical for trail voters
and is committed to helping ensure the trail community is effectively engaged
and represented in the election process,” Amador concludes.

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.
