"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.

GREENS TARGET SUPER TUESDAY SENATE RACE


When Senator George Allen was in prior office (109th 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!

Trail Access & the MN Senate Race


Dear Trail Voter,

*Note: New Email Signup on Rt. Side of Blog

After the Nevada caucuses, TPAC is directing its attention to the Minnesota caucuses being held on February 7, 2012. TPAC believes the Minnesota senate race is one of the key senate races on a national level. The election of a pro-trail senator on November 6 in MN could help install a pro-trail majority in the U.S. Senate where a number of pro-access House bills are stalled.

TPAC is using voter guides from several organizations. The League of Private Property Voters (LPPV) supports private property rights and multiple-use of public lands. The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has a voting review committee comprised of hard-core anti-OHV groups including the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund and The Wilderness Society. The score indicates a candidate's support for each organization's platform.

LPPV - 110th Congressional Scorecard - A high score here is a good thing!

Amy Klobuchar (D) - 40%
Norm Coleman (R) - 90% (this example is for comparison)

LCV - 111th Congressional Scorecard - A high score here from anti-access groups is not good!

Amy Klobuchar(D) - 94%
Al Franken (D)- 92% (this example is for comparison)

TPAC believes this election is critical for trail voters and is committed to helping ensure the trail community is effectively engaged in the election process.

Please consider a small ($5, $10, $25) or large ($50, $100, $250, $500, or more) donation

                             TICKER UPDATE Dec. 9 @ 7:00PM - 30% 
Dear Trail Voter,

Thanks to all for helping TPAC with its first ever moneybomb (Dec. 5 – Dec. 9). TPAC is proud of you for helping the “DON’T LOCK ME OUT” moneybomb raise funds for the 2012 election cycle.  This and future efforts will send a strong signal to closure advocates in Washington D.C that off-road and other outdoor voters are serious about protecting their access to public lands for responsible recreation.   

TPAC has already received endorsements from prominent pro-trail leaders such as Craig Manson - former Assistant Secretary for USFWS at the Department of Interior, Dennis Hollingsworth – former California State Senator and founder of the California Legislature Outdoor Sporting Caucus, Chris Carter – International Six Days Enduro Gold Medalist and off-road hero,  Del Albright – a national off-road and 4WD spokesman, and John Stewart – Editor of 4x4Wire. *Watch for more endorsements next week

TPAC has also been featured in CycleNews, Dirt Rider Magazine, and numerous internet sites.

Your donations of any size $10, $25, $50, $100, $500 up to $5,000 are still needed to help us fund voter guides, improve website, and increase PAC outreach to take on the multi-million dollar anti-access PACs.
