as RARE II la nd is a fortune . It's just too h igh a p rice tag to put on these private p reserves. T hey say these wildern ess area s 'are inaccessible by road but that's only be cause th ey have c ha nged the definitio n of a road . T hese roads are there! T hey 're on a u to mobile clu b ma ps , not GS Survey m aps , not BL M maps - bur the magic bu reauc ratic wand has waved across th ese la nds and roads cease to exist. I pledge as a legislator t ha t the sta te will clearly an d bo ld ly defi ne what a ro a d is in Ca lifo rnia . A road is a right of wa y used by people to tr a vel. W hether or not it's m a intained has no bearing on the fa ct t hat it is a road , All the years Ca lifo rn ia motorcycl ist s have spent fig h ti ng land le gi sla ti o n can b e compared to a sink overflowing. W e've bee n trying to mop up th e overflow whil e all th e time we should have been turning off the fauce t. T hree yea rs ago I "decided to get in there and st art turning off the fa ucets : Okay ' - how can we help you? On O ctober 7 , I' m goi ng to buy $1 ,000 worth of bee r , a nd I' m goi ng to ne ed som e hel p drinki ng it. We wo uld like (but it 's not mandatory , of' co urse) everyone to come out and work fo r an hour o r two d ist rib ut ing litera ture , hanging it on doorknobs, putting it on cars , etc. About noon , we're going to ha ve ;' party. Ma in thing is, I'd like everyo ne to show up at the party. You don't have to live in the 39th District eit he r . T here's a desert ra ce the next day , O ctober 8 , so everyone going to the race ca n sto p by, ha ve a beer with us, a nd head o n ou t to the desert . Everyone is welcome. Just give m e a - call , at 213 / 361 ·8530 , and I' ll fill yo u in on the details. What other basic goals do you have , asa legislator ? Most legislators a re known for passin g laws. I wou ld like 10 become know n as a legislator who repeals laws. There are too many regula tions that a re no longer applicable or shou ld never have been ena cted in the first place. A lso , there's on ly o ne way 10 cut ta xes and tha t's to cu t gove rnment spendi ng . I thin k we sho uld ge t ba ck to the po int of m ak in g the people responsibl e for the msel ves. W t> sim p ly have too m any agen cies governi ng the peopl e as a whole . I' m no t a o ne issue ca nd id a te. If you h ~d told m e five or six years ago th a t I'd actua lly be m ore used to walkin g aiound with a tie o n than wit h an o pen collar , I'd ha ve sa id you ha d rocks in you r head . D o yo u th ink o ur presen t st a te gove r n men t wo rks fo r the good of th e people ? There are those within th e government tha t work for the good of the people , but there art> a lso th ose that wo rk fo r the good of them sel ves. The pe ople must make the decision at the polls as to who in government is representi ng them in the wa y they sho u ld be . U n fo rt u n a te ly . apat hy ca n be terminal. W e' ve seen th is in mo torcycli ng far m ore tha n a ny ot her fie ld . Motorcyclis ts are too individualistic. W e think for ourselves , therefore , in some ways we pose a threa t a nd that 's why we're picked on .. The prima ry battle was wo n by m ot o r cycl ists . 95 % of t he cas h necessa ry to win that battle was rai sed by off- highway user s. W e can d o it aga in in No vemb e r 100, with their help . I a m to tally comm itt ed to the elimination of the BLM in California . I want t he pub lic la nd in Ca lifornia retu rn ed 10 the peopl e . The BL M is no t represen t ing the desi res of the peo ple of the st a te in general. I'm responsive 10 t he desires a nd needs of t he loc a l pe op le the federal govern men t is not. This is wh y we h a ve to com e back 10 sta te co ntrol.
