ACTION ALERT - No-Trail vs. Pro-Trail on Nov. 6

With just two days until trail voters go to the polls, TPAC believes we are still in a dead heat in most, if not all, of our key targeted White House, Senate, and House races.  Dozens of OHV clubs in various states are working hard right now to make sure their members vote for our trail candidates.  However, they need those of you who have not engaged your OHV networks to send out a personal note to your contacts urging them to go and vote PRO-TRAIL on Nov. 6.

Virtually all of TPAC’s key targeted and/or endorsed races are in battleground and/or swing states.   Our candidates continue to get pummeled by huge ad campaigns and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts funded by extreme elements of the environmental movement.    For example, left-wing activists have chartered bus-loads of protesters from the S.F Bay Area into Sacramento to try and defeat our trail champion Dan Lungren (CA –CD7).

HERE IS OUR LIST OF KEY TARGETED AND/OR ENDORSED RACES FOR ELECTION 2012

President and Vice-President of the United States

 Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan

U.S. Senate

Tom Smith (PA-Senate)
Richard Mourdock (IN-Senate)

Josh Mandel (OH-Senate)

Dean Heller (NV - Senate)
Denny Rehberg (MT-Senate)
George Allen (VA- Senate)
Jeff Flake (AZ - Senate)

John Koster (WA CD-1)
Dan Lungren (CA CD-7)
Chip Cravaack (MN CD-8)
Ricky Gill (CA CD-9)
Scott Tipton (CO-CD-3)

Take nothing for granted.  Fire up your computer’s email list and get on your FACEBOOK page and urge your friends and riding buddies to make sure they vote PRO-TRAIL on Nov. 6.   There are two very different political paths that face each one of us in two days.  We still have time to have a positive impact on this election.  Your effort WILL make a difference.

Stay vigilant and continue to work hard  – your FREEDOM to enjoy OHV recreation on public and private lands depends on it!

Trail Survey - How Are YOU Engaged in the 2012 Elections?

As trail enthusiasts get ready to celebrate Independence Day, TPAC is asking you to take our

survey letting us know how you are engaged in the 2012 elections. 

TPAC believes this is a critically important election at all levels of government.   County commissioners or supervisors often vote on plans that impact the approval of local OHV parks or trail systems.   State officials have authority over state-run OHV programs.   Congress has budget authority over federal land agencies as well as creating laws that govern those programs.   The White House appoints directors to federal agencies and issues policy directives that impact how those departments approach public land access.

Thanks in advance taking this survey and for being engaged in the 2012 elections.

Don't Sit at the Trailhead in the 2012 Elections

As the country approaches Super Tuesday on March 6, TPAC believes it is time for those trail-voters who have not yet supported TPAC – to step up to the plate and make a difference today.  Many of you have already donated and we THANK YOU for that!  However, some are still sitting at the trailhead waiting to join our “2012 Election Trail Ride.”

Craig Manson, the former Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks in the U.S. Department of the Interior who has endorsed TPAC said, “As one who has served as a land management executive policymaker at the highest levels of federal and state governments, I can’t stress enough the importance of recreation interests to get involved in the political process.”

“Federal resource departments must carry out the land-use directives from the White House while answering to Congress that creates laws, has budget authority, and oversight responsibilities. It is critically important for recreational interests to support those politicians who champion a responsible land-ethic that includes managed OHV use on public lands,” Manson concludes.

If you agree with Craig Manson, please make a donation today and help TPAC elect pro-trail candidates in the 2012 election cycle.

Donate $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or $1,000 dollars today at:
