"All trail-access decisions are political decisions"

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.
*
The TPAC tactical goal is to target key races using state-of-the art real-time analysis where there is a tough election and the pro-access candidate needs some extra support to help to defeat their opponent.
*
TPAC is needed to counter the anti-access special interests in Washington DC who have long ago figured that contributing to closure-oriented politicians is how they will accomplish their goal of restricting OHV access on federal lands.
*
TPAC is ready to stand in that political breach to stop the flow of anti-access politicians into the Capital. TPAC will work hard to reverse that trend so that pro-access legislators will exist as the majority in Congress and the White House.

OFF-ROAD RACING ICON ENDORSES THE TRAIL PAC

BEECHER, IL, (Dec. 12)  – A 31 time International Six Days Enduro medalist and business owner endorsed The Trail PAC today.  Jeff Fredette, president of Fredette Racing Products in the Midwest has been a strong supporter of land-use advocacy.

Jeff Fredette, Founder of Fredette Racing Products, states, “I believe that trail riders throughout the country must get involved in the political process to keep trails open for family oriented OHV recreation. Off-roaders only have ourselves to blame if we stand by on the sidelines while well-funded anti-access political action committees support politicians who vote to close trails.”

“I believe The Trail PAC will play an important roles in the 2012 election by directing resources to key races where the pro-trail candidates needs some extra support.  I am proud to endorse the efforts of TPAC this election cycle,” Fredette concludes.

EPA Off-Road Dust Issue At Top of GOP Prez Candidate Debate


As off-road voters know, it’s both anti-trail politicians and the agency leads they appoint and/or confirm at the EPA and other cabinet level departments that can impact our recreational access to public and private lands.

Recently the issue of proposed EPA “dust regulations” has been at the top of the news.

Newt has now joined Herman Cain as identifying the “dust issue” as one of the regulatory anti-access issues at EPA.

OFF-ROAD HERO ENDORSES THE TRAIL PAC

SAN CARLOS, CA - An off-road racing champion and long-time supporter of efforts to protect trail access on public lands endorsed The Trail PAC today.  Chris Carter, president of Motion Pro in the San Francisco Bay Area, has been an industry leader in land-use advocacy since the 1980s.

Chris Carter, Founder of Motion Pro, states, “I believe that trail enthusiasts must be involved on every front in the fight to keep trails open for responsible OHV recreation.
Off-road voters must become informed and engaged in the electoral process because it is politicians who designate which areas are open or closed to motorized recreation.”

“I believe The Trail PAC is an important tool that should be added to the land-use tool box.  I am proud to endorse the efforts of TPAC to help elect politicians who will support
the trail community,” Carter concludes.
