Statement of Position ....and activity to promote that postition:
ABATE is a freedom of choice organization, dedicated to the premise that the individual is best suited to decide the type of motorcycle to ride, type of safety gear worn ... and personval life-style.
The primary objective of ABATE is to monitor motorcycle related legislation and encourage all members to become politically involved ... so as to effect positive legislation and deter that of a negative nature.
Through public forums, writing letters and meeting elected representatives, ABATE members have the opportunity to speak to their side of the issues, and educate government leaders about the needs and desires of Ohio Motorcyclists.
The Legislative director and regional coordinators help facilitate these efforts and, when necessary, provide a communication link between the group and elected officials.
