    Sorry to those who don't live here in Illinois but this is very important to all who do live in Illinois. Please read below and lets stop Mary Flowers from taking our rights away. Everyone needs to make their voice heard. Call, email, send letters, whatever it takes but this cannot be allowed to pass.

    Subject: Flowers Introduces Prohibition on Youth Riding -- Again!

    Don't just sit there. Get involved.

    Flowers Introduces Prohibition on Youth Riding -- Again!
    Illinois House bill 5029, introduced by Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago), would make it illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to operate an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or off-highway motorcycle (OHM). The proposed legislation would also make it illegal to transport a passenger on an ATV or OHM regardless of whether the vehicle is configured for a passenger. The bill would also require ATV and OHM riders to have valid driver's licenses and wear helmets.

    This legislation is nearly identical to legislation introduced by Rep. Flowers last year that ultimately died in the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee.

    The text of HB 5029 and a prewritten response are available on the "Rights" page of http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com.

    This legislation was referred to the rules committee on January 25th. Additional updates will be posted as they become available.

    This lady, if you can even call her that, is trying to destroy young kids lives by tking their right to ride offroad vehicles. Please take the time, whether you live in Illinois or not, to do what it takes to get this thing thrown out.

    Thanks.
