TPAC Takes on Media Bias in Week Long Social Media Event

Just a Click (LIKE) to Save Our Trails and it's FREE

 

Dear Trail Voter,   The mainstream media is working overtime to bias the news to discourage pro-trail voters in blue and battleground states in the hope that you will give up and stay home. The Trail PAC is going to counter that with the 1st ever pro-trail social media week. This national counter offensive is called OPERATION SOARING EAGLE.   Some congressional races are won or lost by less than 50 votes or just one vote per precinct. With the election just a few weeks away, it is important for trail voters to inform their Facebook friends about our targeted races and encourage them to go to the polls on November 6 and VOTE!   TPAC knows many people are busy trying to make a living and don't have time to follow political campaigns. That is why it is important for YOU to LIKE the pro-trail candidates below so your social networks throughout the country will know about these candidates and the issues.     TPAC is not asking for any donations today. Our national counterattack is FREE. All we ask of you is to go to the following races and LIKE them. Also, feel free to share your support of the Trail PAC and these candidates with your social networks. Just those few extra votes WILL make a difference in this historic election.     ACTION ITEM: Go to all of the candidate's websites and LIKE them.  This will have a huge impact and best of all it's FREE!   Here is TPAC's list of targeted key races as of October 2, 2012   U.S. Senate   Tommy Thompson (WI-Senate) http://www.tommyforwisconsin.com/    Dean Heller (NV - Senate) http://deanheller.com/     Denny Rehberg (MT-Senate) http://dennyrehberg.com/     George Allen (VA- Senate) http://www.georgeallen.com/     Jeff Flake (AZ - Senate) http://www.jeffflake.com/     Heather Wilson (NM-Senate) http://heatherwilson.com/     Rick Berg (ND-Senate) http://www.bergfornorthdakota.com/view/       U.S. House of Representatives   John Koster (WA CD-1) http://www.kosterforcongress.com/   Koster's Facebook page link since it was harder to find on website:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Koster-for-Congress/246070079439      Dan Lungren (CA CD-7) http://www.danlungren.com/      Chip Cravaack (MN CD-8) http://chipcravaack.com/      Ricky Gill (CA CD-9) http://www.rickygill.com/     Scott Tipton (CO-CD-3) http://www.votetipton.com/   Thanks in advance for taking a few minutes to help save our trails via the election process.   Feel free to check back into these campaigns throughout the week to see how many of your friends are getting engaged.   Thanks also for your support of TPAC.   Don Amador, Founder The Trail PAC www.thetrailpac.com

Trail Hero Cong. Wally Herger Message to Access Voters

With just under 100 days until Trail Election Day on Nov. 6, TPAC is marking that fact with our “Be a Trail Hero” major summer 5-day fundraiser that will run from July 30 through August 3.

For every donation of $200 dollars or more, TPAC will post the donor’s First Name, City, and State as a Trail Hero.  For a $100 donation, you will be listed as a Trail Champion. Our fundraising goal for this election is 50-80K.  That will allow off-roaders to play a major role in 7-9 key Senate races and 10-20 key House races. 

Supporting pro-access Members of Congress or candidates who are running for that office makes YOU a Trail Hero or Trail Champion too!

DONATE AT LINK BELOW TO BE A TRAIL HERO OR CHAMPION

http://www.thetrailpac.com/donate.html

TPAC will update its Trail Hero/Champion list throughout the week.

TPAC is proud to have Trail Hero Congressman Wally Herger join in support of our goal to elect pro-trail candidates to the U.S. Senate and grow the House majority.  

READ IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CONGRESSMAN WALLY HERGER TO ACCESS INTERESTS

Dear Trail Voter,

   Public land recreationists have a lot at stake in the 2012 election.  Your participation in this political process is critical.  We must elect a pro-access majority to the U.S. Senate and maintain and grow our majority in the House of Representatives.

   During my service in Congress, I have fought hard to protect and enhance multiple-use recreation on federal lands.   House members have introduced and passed legislation that defends trail use and stops the aggressive use by EPA and other government agencies of politically motivated-regulations to restrict our access to Forest Service and BLM lands.

   Unfortunately, the leadership in the U.S. Senate is blocking all access and regulatory reform and oversight efforts in that body.   America needs to vote in senate candidates who will champion responsible use of our public lands.

   I believe that you can make a difference in this critical election.  That is why I am asking you to join me in support of the Trail PAC’s effort to elect pro-trail candidates to the U.S. Senate and grow the House majority.  

   By working together we can take on the powerful radical environmental lobby to ensure continued access to our public lands for responsible trail-based recreationists and their families.

Sincerely,

Wally Herger

U.S. Representative

Please download Congressman Herger’s Official letter to trail voters, and share it with your multiple-use network.  Our successes in this election cycle will also lay the groundwork for victories in future elections.

Thanks for your continued support!

Wilderness Groups Target Heather Wilson in New Mexico

As the political parties gear up for their national conventions, TPAC wants to bring you some of the latest news as it relates to our efforts to elect a pro-trail majority to the U.S. Senate.

According to recent reports by Politico and the Washington Post,   there are five major anti-trail organizations now targeting Heather Wilson in NM  -- one of TPAC’s key senate candidates – for elimination.  Those groups include the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund.

Sources claim the groups intend to spend massive sums over the next few months smearing Heather Wilson and promoting their own candidate, Martin Heinrich.  Heinrich is also a board member of the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance.  That group has a long history of opposing responsible OHV recreation on public lands.

TPAC is asking you to help us continue  our fight to defend and support pro-trail candidates like George Allen (VA),  Dean Heller (NV),  Denny Rehberg (MT),  Jeff Flake (AZ), and Heather Wilson (NM) against attacks from determined anti-OHV groups.   These are must wins to switch the Senate power structure!

Greens Blister Access Candidates

TPAC wants to send this short update on the presidential race regarding the recent attacks on Governor Romney by one of the most active anti-OHV groups in the country and that organization is the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).

 

PEER’s “OHV Policy” lead is Karen Schambach.  She has been the green’s point person on a majority of the anti-OHV lawsuits filed in the West included a lawsuit PEER filed to close the Carnegie State OHV Park in the S.F. Bay Area (a suit  they just lost and had to pay their own $500 thousand dollar legal debt).  Schambach was also the driving force behind the California legislature’s plan to gut the state’s user-pay/user benefit OHV program.

TPAC is warning you and our candidates that this will be an extremely ugly political season where far-left green groups will blister and smear pro-trail candidates with such names as “Member of the Dirty Dozen” or “Eco-thug” like they did to former Congressman Richard Pombo, Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee.

TPAC hopes you will get out on the trail this summer with your family and enjoy the access to public lands that we are fighting for through the election process.

 

Donate $25, $50, $100, $200, $500 today to help us defend our candidates against the green smear machine

GREENS TARGET SUPER TUESDAY SENATE RACE

When Senator George Allen was in prior office (109^th Congress), he was listed as a “Champion of Private Property Rights” by the League of Private Property Voters (LPPV).  LPPV is an organization that promotes public access and multiple-use of federal lands.

During that same time-period, then Governor Tim Kaine (Allen’s rival for the open VA senate seat on November 6) filed a petition with the federal government for them to set aside almost 25% of scarce Forest Service lands as “Clinton-era Roadless Areas.”  Those 400,000 acres would be locked-up in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.

The Trail PAC will be supporting 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.

Please DONATE ($5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or more) today!
