When you become a
member of ABATE OF FLORIDA, INC. you are helping
make a difference in the ongoing mission to protect
your right to ride and enjoy the motorcycle of your
choice, your choice of riding apparel, and when and
where you can ride a motorcycle. These are issues
that are real and present in today’s “protect
yourself from yourself” political environment. This
holds true for all levels of government. There will
always be those who see our love for motorcycling as
a negative and will try any means to control and if
possible prohibit motorcycle use.
On the local level
our members get out the vote and support candidates
who are sympathetic to our issues. We have helped
candidates across the state who in some cases faced
formidable opponents, yet still won. We also will
endeavor to lobby local governments whenever there
are issues that need to be addressed, affecting
local motorcycle use, ownership, and any
discrimination that may result from said use of
ownership.
At the state level
we have a paid registered lobbyist who regularly
visits our state capital in Tallahassee to lobby our
legislators on the issues concerning the
motorcycling public in Florida. He also finds
reliable House and Senate sponsors for the bills we
support.
On the national
level we are aligned with Motorcycle Riders
Foundations (MRF), and the National Coalition of
Motorcyclists (NCOM), along with several other
international motorcycle rights organizations (MRO’s).
As one can see we
have our ear to the ground and our resolve tempered
like steel. As Americans we have had it
demonstrated to us time and again the vigilance is
armor of free men and women. We shall not let the
armor rust or weaken. With your support we can
re-enforce and strengthen the armor for now and
generations to come.
