I am energized by the challenge of leading A.B.A.T.E. of Georgia to new heights. We are faced with the opportunity to make a difference in the Motorcycling Community.

I will use my years of experience in Sales and Marketing to help grow the membership. I intend to promote A.B.A.T.E. of Georgia in a new light. There are so many who do not know about A.B.A.T.E.. We need to reach those and add them to our membership to expand our voice. There are many who have mixed feelings about our past and our future. To them I say step up and join us again. The ride will be well worth it. There is safety and strength in numbers.

9 years ago I decided to start my own business and have learned through the years what it take to keep a business alive and growing. I will use that knowledge to direct the Executive Board and the Full Board in a direction so that all roads lead to A.B.A.T.E.

State Director of A.B.A.T.E. Georgia
   


Public apathy is a politician’s best friend while an out pouring of public resentment will often send a politician off to rethink their position.

The Motorcycle only Check Point Issue was brought to light by the MRF back in September of 2010 and only now is beginning to spark a flame under the seat of Georgia Motorcycle Riders. Why now, after months of information being shared are we beginning to see the huge problem this situation will cause?

Apathy, a lack of concern, indifference to the issue WHAT!! Wake up. This is us folks…. The Georgia Motorcycle rider that is having our civil liberties trampled on.  They are not concerned with what you ride, what ride group you belong to or any other issue than the fact that you are on two wheels and they want to deprive you of your rights.

Civil liberties are rights and freedoms that protect an individual from the state. Civil liberties set limits on government so that its members cannot abuse their power and interfere unduly with the lives of private citizens.
 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_liberties

Freedom of movement, mobility rights or the right to travel is a human rights concept that the constitutions of numerous states respect. It asserts that a citizen of a state, in which that citizen is present has the liberty to travel, reside in, and/or work in any part of the state where one pleases within the limits of respect for the liberty and rights of others,[1] and to leave that state and return at any time. Some immigrants' rights advocates assert that human beings have a fundamental human right to mobility not only within a state but between states.    - Wikipedia

The vehicles that they want to check for “safety concerns” are private. Our safety on a motorcycle is at risk every time some one starts a car or truck.  What next? Lets safety check grandma’s car on the way to church, mom’s car going grocery shopping?  Let’s safety check every car on I-85. The concept is no more unreasonable than what they are planning to do to us.

  If safety is truly their concern then State wide safety inspection stations would have been established long ago. Fines for running over motorcyclist would be more severe, awareness programs would be funded by the state, and the list goes on and on.

A.B.A.T.E. of Georgia has had a plan of action to fight this threat since the early going.

Here it is use .it. Make the phone calls, write the letters, send the e-mails make some noise.
Let them know we are here.

Shed the cloak of silence and stand together as one voice. Make A.B.A.T.E .your voice.
 Join today at your local chapter or join online. Together we are strong.
