When asked for hts reasons tor 10lllldIng MORE, Russ explalns: "Every lawmaker, every eotorcementagency, every social grOQll, and every bike rider that I've ever talked with has eventoally asked tile samequestioo, 'wbenareCallfonUa's motorcyclists ever going to get organIzed lnto an effective group with all of tile benefits ot mass representation?' Well. I Intend to do something about It, besides talk. And l:bat Is why MORE was founded. MORE Is prOTing successful because It Is: Statewide In scope; DOIldemandlng upon the membersbip; servIng all members equally; providing an effective lobby; and inexpensive to joln." MORE is employing a unique method of making the motorcycling fraternlty's needs known. As members are signed up, data from the registration torm is loput to a computer and coded 10 such a manner as to coincide with the areas represented by various lawmakers and legislative groups at the city and county level as well as the state and federal level. By this means, MORE's full-time lobbyist can advise the applicable law makers of the number of constituents (in total and in terms of registered voters) wbom be represents. Russ makes no bones about the fact that MORE Intends to keeP the State's Motorcyclists Informed on bow their elected otticlals vote on eacb and every Issue involving motorcycling. As be explalos, "MORE put the motorcyclists mouth where bis money is - 10 government".
