"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.

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!

Off-Roaders Want Lodi/Stockton/Brentwood House Seat Back


TPAC is proud to announce that it has named the Ricky Gill for Congress (CA CD9) as our 3rd targeted key House race.  The TPAC Trail Access Victory Fund is sending support to that campaign today as part of our national strategy to elect a pro-trail majority to the Senate and retain that majority in the House.  Gill is in a very tight race and needs our support.

 

Gill is facing off against Jerry McNerney who defeated the former chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Richard Pombo, in 2006.  During one of the public debates between Pombo and McNerney, the green lobby drove up with 4 busloads of environmental activists from U.C. Berkeley and San Francisco to disrupt the event.  Today, McNerney is being strongly supported by the League of Conservation Voter’s GiveGreen Project.  Gill comes from an agricultural background and his family also operates a RV Park.  Gill understands the importance of recreational access to public lands as a way to boost rural economies.

 

On July 30, Congressman Wally Herger stated, “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.”  
 

The TPAC Trail Access Victory Fund needs to raise $10,000 or more between now and the FEC filing deadline of September 30th to support additional key races such as Gill. Your donation WILL have an impact on November 6.
 

DONATE $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, up to $5000 to the TPAC TRAIL ACCESS VICTORY FUND
http://www.thetrailpac.com/donate.html
  

Anti-OHV PACs will gauge our commitment to the fight by how much trail voters are donating to the battle. Your donations in this election will forecast TPAC's success in future elections. Remember that TPAC's groundwork for the 2014 mid-term elections will start on November 7, 2012.
 

Again, thanks for your support. Watch for more targeted races to be announced soon.
