• NO MOTORCYCLES, NO VEHICLES IS THIS GOING TO BE THE SIGN OF THE TIMES FOR THE 1'980's? The answer is YES! Yes-UNLESS motorcyclists and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts unite to do something about the cause of these signs. The cause-pure and simple is: BAD LA AB2914 THE WORST LAW YETI On March 6, 1980. Assemblyman Michael Gage introduced the worst law ever to affect off-road motorcyclistsl This law is an outrage! The enivornmental extremists and their puppet bureaucrats are out to destroy us and everything that we stand for, We try to deal in good faith and they lie to us at every tum: Their promises are empty. Remember Nikita Khrushchev ("We will buy you, and you will provide us with the means ... ")? Well, the environmentalists are playin~ the same game: "We are going to destroy you and use your own money to do the job'" Their new law to do this with is AB 2914. POLITICIANS AND ELECT GOOD POLITICIANS. Ones that will represent us, and help us obtain our goals, This is why Bob Hayes organized CORPAC. A political action group for Off-Roaders and outdoor recreationists. WHAT IS CORPAC? CORPAC stands for: 'California Outdoor Recreation Political Action Committee.' It is dedicated to providing legislative support for the protection of the rights of the American people to the use of their public lands. In a nutshell: The off-roaders' watchdog in Sacramento.

(Sign and IleDd this letter to CORPAC, 2625 Dorine Way, Sacramento, CA 95833. Assemblyman Hayes will see that your legislators get your letter.) ·Please make copies and have yourfriends sign one too, r--------------------------Dear State Senator and State Assemblyman: On March 6,1980, Assemblyman Gage introduced AB 2914. This bill would abolish the Off-Highway Vehicle Fund and transfer monies in that fund to the General Fund. I AM UNALTERABLY OPPOSED TO THIS BILL. . In 1971, Off Road Vehicle enthusiasts supported legislation to impose a tax on ourselves to develop this special fund. which in turn was to be used to develop environmentally sound areas and trails where we could operate our vehicles, Now that this fund is finally beginning to bear fruit. OUR money is being taken away. We will not allow this to happen. I request your NO vote on this bill, Please respond to this letter, as knowing your position on this bill is of utmost importance to me in this election year. HERE'S WHAT AB2914 DOES AB 2914 will abolish the OffHighway Vehicle Fund. All monies in the fund at this time will be transferred to the general fund, It will not abolish the fees: Just the fund! It is an urgency law and will take effect as soon as it is passed. WHAT CAN WE DO? As individuals we can't expend as much time and money for political action as we would like. But through an organization set up for just that purpose we can have a great impact on government. A Political Action Committee (PAC) takes the donations from thousands of individuals with the same goals and directs this money at key pivotal points in the election process. The sole purpose: GET RID OF BAD Sincerely. street address, City _ Zip _ --------------------------OPTIONAL DONATION Long time desert racer Bob Hayes was elected to the Assembly in 1978.
