Membership
When
you become a member of ABATE OF FLORIDA, INC. – DUVAL COUNTY CHAPTER,
you are helping to make a difference in the ongoing mission to protect
your right to ride and enjoy the motorcycle of your choice, your choice of
riding apparel, and when and where you can ride a motorcycle.
These are issues that are real and present in today’s “protect
yourself from yourself” political environment.
This holds true for all levels of government.
There will be those who see our love of motorcycling as a negative
and will try and means to control and if possible prohibit motorcycle use.
At
a local level our members get our the vote and support candidates who are
sympathetic to our issues.
We have helped candidates across the state who in some cases faced
formidable opponents yet still won.
We also will endeavor to lobby local governments whenever there are
issues that need to be addressed affecting local motorcycle use, ownership
and any discrimination that may result from said use or ownership.
At
the state level we have a paid registered lobbyist who regularly visits
our state capital in Tallahassee to lobby our legislators on the issues
concerning the motorcycling public in Florida.
He also finds reliable House and Senate sponsors for the bills we
support.
On the national level we are
aligned with the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MFR), and the National
Coalition Of Motorcyclist (NCOM) along with several other international
motorcycle rights organizations (MROs),
As
one can see we have our ear to the ground and our resolve tempered like
steel. As Americans we have
had it demonstrated to us time and again that vigilance is the armor of
free men and women. We shall
not let that armor rust or weaken. With
your support we can re-enforce and strengthen that armor for now and
generations to come.
Memberships
are open to anyone 18 years of age or older no matter what motorcycle you
ride, if any!
