The December state
meeting was a huge success. The board’s thanks go out to Black
Creek Chapter and the great job they did. Abate of Florida is a
Motorcycle Rights Organization and it was proved at the meeting when
the Attorney General Bill McCollum who is running for Governor of
Florida came to the meeting. He spoke in support of many of our
issues and said I quote “Abate will have an open door policy with
me”. We made sure that was on tape. Then Former Speaker of the
House Marco Rubio who is running for the United States Senate
spoke. He also spoke in support of our issues and is a dynamic
young politician who will go far. We will try and have candidates
at every meeting leading up to the November election to speak to the
members. I believe our members got a lot out of hearing these
candidates and then talking to them about situations in our state.
It is important that everyone hears as many candidates speak and
take back that information to their chapters and the people who
support us. Times change fast in politics and we need to keep pace
and change with them.
In April we will be
having our 15th Freedom Right’s Rally. Next to Bike Week
it is our biggest event of the year as an organization. If you
believe in your rights and want to do something about them then come
to Tallahassee and ride with us. Speak to your representatives and
senators about what you want done. Tell them you want a better
Florida not only for yourself but your family too.
Bike Week is coming
fast and we will need help at the campground. People are needed for
security the cook shack and the beverage tent. You can earn free
camping and meals for helping out and you will help support the
cause. Come out and join your brothers and sisters who already
support it and sit back and drink a beverage with them.
The legislative
session will be starting the first week of March and we will again
be pushing for stiffer penalties for motorists who run over us. The
attorney Genera and one of the candidates who is running for
Attorney General both support our efforts and have pledged their
support for our cause. That’s a good start but no we must finish
our mission.
The next sate
meeting is in February until them Ride Safe and Free!!! |
