The following is from Jay Hall --------------------------------- If you don't live in Illinois I apologize for sending this email. This is very important for Illinois residents and if you can attend you must in order to keep your kids rights to ride off-road. This is just the start. Adults will be targeted next if this gets passed. YOUR ALL INVITED. Actually Please attend if there is any possibility of making it. Date: March 11th, 2009 (this Wednesday) Time: 8 am Location: Springfield IL Capital Building. Help: Meet at Hall's Cycles 7am if your not familiar how to get to the meeting place. Then we can all drive in from there. The shop is no more then 15 min away from meeting. Once at the meeting there will be a form to fill out and to comment. IT is imperative these forms are filled out by everyone. Not sure who, will be able to actually speak, but we can find that out once there. www.amadistrict17.com for more information. Reason: To oppose/comment on the Flowers bill HB 3914, which if passed will make anyone under the age of 16 ILLEGAL to ride a mini bike or ATV, this would be on private or public property. We hope buy going to this meeting in force, it will help squash this bill before it goes anywhere!!! Also note, many of you, like us, have never done this before, but it is very necessary! We are taking the kids and going as a family. Below is the information.

Hey...........isn't the former senator from Illinois somebody real important now? Shows how adgendas change.
You know, DON"T THESE A-HOLES THAT WE ELECT HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN SCREW AROUND WITH FRIVOLOUS S*#T LIKE THIS FIX THE DAMN ECONOMY AND BRING JOBS BACK TO THE U.S AND STOP TAKING OUR RIGHTS AWAY!! ENOUGH ALREADY
Guys - these people in government want to project a certain image - 'look good' to the people who elected them so they can appear to be doing a good job. It is crystal clear to me things like this will keep happening, it is our duty to do what we can at least slow down this type of nonsense. I'll do what I can on my end (2000 miles away) and it would be good for people to help out as well, rants add nothing positive to the situation. These types of things can be best helped at the early stages before momentum is built. The meeting was held this morning and non doubt at least partially attributed to Jay Halls efforts the Bill was 'shot down' as per someone at his shop I just talked to.
Good Job Hall's and all the supporters! Makes you want to eat the lead paint off my XR 85 house to barn bike!
Awesome, Big thanks to Hall's and supporters. Steve over at Hall's sent out a statewide e-mail requesting help but I was unfortunately unable to leave work today. I wish I could have helped. I did contact my state rep through e-mail via the AMA links. I hope that helped a little.
I presume you mean the mass of people were there to support a NO VOTE, right? Folks, we need to squash in it's infantcy, any proposition of this variance of legislation across the entire free U.S. of A. politician's try to do right...but they're sometimes misfunded. ( Oop's, I meant misguided). Dave
