Time is running out. Due to the November elections, Congress has less than 6 weeks of legislative calendar days to take up legislation on motorcycle profiling. We've gained momentum in recent weeks, don't let this opportunity slip away.     We are mobilizing our grassroots to tell Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Chairman Bob Goodlatte to consider H.Res.318 before its too late. This is a NEW Call to Action, specifically calling on leadership to push this resolution over the finish line before the end of the year.     What will it take to gain national attention on this matter? YOUR VOICE.     You can send a predrafted email to Congressional Leadership by clicking on the link below: Take Action Here

From the Exective Director Page Ed Shetter  ' (11-11-18)     We take on lobbies that are well funded and have huge PAC funds. We dig in and work at a grass roots level and win to protect our rights as well as the rights of all motorcyclists in Ohio (even the ones that don’t belong to ABATE.) Where others would only complain about something being unfair (maybe make a meme for Facebook if they were really ticked), we figure out a way to make a change or prevent changes if it takes away our rights....................( Read more....)

From the Safety & Ed Page Mike Stock   (11-11-18)     Motorcyclist’s biggest threat at this time is Distracted Drivers. We go down the road every day and see it first hand.
