The Holiday Season is upon us and I hope everyone will have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Please remember families that are less fortunate then us and especially our Military all over the world and their families.  I want to thank all the chapters who held toy runs during this holiday season for their remembrance of their fellow man. 

   The state meeting went well with Treasure Coast hosting and they did a fantastic job.  Everyone appreciated the effort put forth and the state board thanks you for the work you did.  The next state meeting will be held in the state capitol in conjunction with our annual Freedom Rally in February. Abate of Florida has a new chapter in the Martin County area and it is called Lighthouse Chapter.

   I have just been informed that there is an amendment in Washington for a National Helmet Law again by the same Senator from New Jersey.  As I write this we have already started calling our senators and congressmen to get this amendment killed.  We will let everyone know how it went as soon as we hear about it.  It seem like 2012 is starting to be the year of the anti-motorcyclist in our nation’s capitol and our state capitol in Tallahassee.  It seems about ever five years the federal government wants to save us from ourselves and since it’s an election year we are their target.  We must be vigilant and stand up for our “Rights” or we will be all driving nothing but cars. 

   Don’t forget that out Freedom Rally has been moved to February because of the changing of the legislative session this year.  Until then “Ride Safe and Free!!!”
