Washington State OHV Riders Call Out for Entire OHV Community Help

HELP! STATE of WASHINGTON OHV riders needs your help from all across the Nation from fellow riders, ASAP. I am copying the email that was sent to riders from a WA State Group called "CLOUT", to alert us of issues effecting our rights as OHVer's.

We are asking fellow riders from across the nation to complete a Biased Survey sponsored by ANTI-MOTORIZED enthusiasts and backed by the SIERRA CLUB.

The survey doesn't limit the response to just Washington State Residence, BUT effects Washington State Residents. They have made the survey so that ANYONE can complete it, ANYWHERE in the NATION.

It could happen in your state next.

Here's the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=491542728878

Here is the Story behind the "B.S." (copied directly from CLOUT):

A loud, out spoken, politically connected Anti-OHV bigot, backed by your enemies in the WTA and Sierra Club, got the Legislature to pass a bill in 2006 directing the Office of the Interagency Committee (Yes, the same people who helped the WTA steal most of your NOVA funds for the hikers!!!) to recommend ways to address "excessive noise from ORVs." Specifically, OIAC was to review existing laws and provide recommendations on equipment for enforcement, model ordinances, education, and a grant program.

The IAC has now hand picked a biased committee (They would not let the dirt rider who knows the whole story, John Eaton, on the committee!) to "assist" them and provide a rubber stamp for proposed discriminatory legislation against OHVs. They have also hired a consulting firm to do the study which has a long history of doing studies to support "greenie" anti-access positions.

The link in this alert takes you directly to the survey being used by this consulting firm to drum up huge numbers of responses from the anti-OHV and anti-Access people throughout the nation. There is nothing on this survey that requires you to identify yourself as a WA State resident!

The Anti-Access crowd is broadcasting this survey far and wide and they have a huge network supported by millions of dollars. We are volunteers and need to spread this by word of mouth to all of our motorized recreational community. PLEASE HELP get the word out and get your motorized friends to fill out this survey.

Remember what the IAC did to motorized users with their "Fuel Use Study"? That was how they justified taking most of your Nonhighway and Offroad Vehicles Activity (NOVA) money for the hikers!

Now the same people who were behind that theft want to steal your legal right to operate your OHV on your own private property anywhere in WA State!

DO the survey RIGHT NOW and don't give them any support for more restrictions on OHVs! For more "information" from the IAC use this link -

For more information directly from the dirt bike rider who has all the real story on this issue, Send an email to John Eaton of Dirt Cheap Cycle in Shelton, WA dirtbike@hctc.com.

ON THE SURVEY,

  • Tell them to leave the sound levels where they are. Be careful how you answer the questions, i.e. do not give them any reason to create another Big Brother bureaucracy to prey on you and your kids!
  • Tell the IAC to quit wasting your NOVA funds "studying" non-issues like this and to do something positive for OHV recreation for a change!

Then let all of your motorized 4WD, ATV, Snowmobile, and Off Highway Motorcycle (OHM) friends know about this survey. You can bet most of the anti-OHV/anti-access people in the U.S.A. are going to hear about it from the WTA and Sierra Club!

Please use this link right now to do the SURVEY, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=491542728878
