TRAIL USERS NAME CHIP CRAVAACK FOR CONGRESS AS A TARGETED KEY RACE

North Bethesda, MD – Today, the Trail PAC is proud to name, Chip Cravaack for Congress, as its 2nd targeted key House race in the 2012 election. 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 process.

Trail voters believe Chip is in a very tight race with his opponent, Rick Nolan. Nolan is supported by the far left CREDO SuperPAC. The CREDO SuperPAC was founded by mobile-phone executives in the San Francisco area to advance liberal causes. Several CREDO SuperPAC board members also work with hard-core environmental groups such as the Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters.

Don Amador, Founder of TPAC, states, “Two years ago, the political world was rocked by a massive earthquake on Election Day 2010 when Chip ousted 18-term congressman, Jim Oberstar. A lot of my trail and snowmobile friends in MN CD-8 worked hard for Chip and he has been working hard for them during his 1st term in Congress.”

“Trail users nationwide need Chip back on The Hill to support House majority efforts to champion responsible trail access to public lands and to oppose the ever growing regulatory agenda of the EPA,” Amador concludes.

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

Big Green v. Trail Candidates in WI

TPAC believes Wisconsin will be one of the key "trail" battle states in our race to unseat the anti-access and pro-regulatory majority in the U.S. Senate. The WI Primary is tomorrow and it looks like it will pit Tammy Baldwin (who has been endorsed by Big Green) against several pro-trail candidates.

TPAC believes the two top pro-access candidates who are leading in the polls are Tommy Thompson and Mark Neumann. Thompson is the former governor and is a motorcycle rider and one-time (or current) member of the American Motorcyclist Association. Thompson has also been endorsed by rocker Ted Nugent -an avid outdoorsman from the "hook and bullet" community.

Neumann also appeared to be pro-access and against overregulation while serving in Congress. He has the endorsement of Senator Rand Paul - a real champion who is working to stop the EPA from abusing the public via its excessive regulatory agenda.

TPAC is not sure who will win the primary battle between the access candidates, but we are committed to supporting the eventual winner against Baldwin who would be a strong environmental ally of Senator Harry Reid and support his ongoing efforts to block Senate votes on pro-trail and regulatory reform House bills.

TPAC believes the trail and outdoor communities should work together to help make sure this battleground state elects a pro-access candidate to the U.S. Senate on November 6.

Please join the off-roaders, racers, aftermarket, lawyers, architects, land agency staffers, academics, small business owners, motorcycle moms/dads, OHV media, and others who have already donated to TPAC.

Donate $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, up to $5000 to help us fight in key battle ground states to win back the senate.
