New Jersey BATE Call to Action
URGENT, don't pass up this rare opportunity!
Senator Frank Lautenberg has consistently shown that he is not friendly to biker
issues. Do you want to see another 6 years of him? We now have a viable
candidate running against him in the Democratic Primary. Rob Andrews has been
friendly to motorcyclist's concerns [*** see his statement in the Yingling email
below ***] and even was a sponsor of the HIPAA bill to remove the loophole that
under certain conditions allows insurance companies to deny insurance coverage
to motorcyclists. ABATE has worked with Rob Andrews in the past on the HIPAA
Bill and hopefully will continue to do so in the future.
Here is our game plan:
We will flood the voting booths in the Democratic PRIMARY Election with
motorcyclists, their friends, and families who will vote for Rob Andrews. These
primary elections historically have a very low turnout and there are over
150,000 registered motorcyclists in New Jersey. If we could get 25,000 of them
to vote for Rob Andrews, we could easily swing the election and remove Frank
Lautenberg from the Senate Democratic ticket in the General Election. This would
leave Andrews running against the Republican nominee in the General Election.
[*** Either way, Lautenberg is out! ***] We may never have a better opportunity
to remove Frank Lautenberg!
WE must have a record turn out at this June 3 Primary.
WE the Biker Vote must turn out in record numbers to defeat Senator Lautenberg
and get Rob Andrews elected. To do this you must be a registered Democrat. If
you are already a registered Democrat and are registered to vote, you only need
to show up and vote in the June 3rd primary. If you are not a registered
Democrat, the deadline for changing your affiliation for the Primary Election is
fast approaching. If you choose do it by mail, the deadline is Monday April 14.

In the General Election, your party affiliation does not preclude you from
voting for whichever candidate you decide to vote for. In the General Election
you may vote for any candidate of any party you wish. Should you wish to change
your affiliation at any time after the primary, you can do this very easily by
mail.Add to Technorati Favorites
If you register in person with your county board of elections you have until
Wednesday May 14. Most counties have several places to register to vote and
change your party affiliation. Go to your county phone book or web-site to find
out more.
Unless you have lived in the dark ages you should know Lautenberg's unfriendly
stances on biker rights.
There is a saying, strike when the iron is hot. Well, the -- IRON -- IS -- HOT.
Remember, all the hours of griping at the bar, complaining at your friend's
house, and other places will not be as effective as acting NOW! Make your voice
heard at the June 3, 2008 Primary.
To maximize the impact of this campaign, please pass this on to your fellow
riders, non-riding friends, neighbors, and family members. Remember that the
window to declare party affiliation is closing fast. Do it today!
