<H2><H2> Got this emailed to me just thought I would pass it along
We promised you we would keep you informed when he or his wife (a judge!)
were up for re-election.

Here are some words from Matt Hale's father who is supporting his son's
campaign to unseat Judge Kline this year.

We need volunteers for the following three weeks to beat Mr. and Mrs. Kline
in their effort to dominate the state. Small donations are needed, but the
most important help is bodies; bodies to distribute signs and bodies to
stand at intersections with signs. We need every biker and off-roader to
email everyone they know to have them vote for Matt Hale:
peopleformatthewrha le.com.

On Saturday, August 2nd, we will have volunteers waiting for those who want
to fight for their off-road rights. Aurora Suzuki (aurora-suzuki. com)
206-783-2323 will host us from 12:30 to 2:00. Their address is 7409 Auroroa
Ave. North. We need the North End help.

The same day, the same time, I-90 Motorsports (i-90motorsports. com)
425-391-4490 will host other volunteers at their lot, 200 NE Gilman Blvd. in
Issaquah. We need the Eastside help: really badly. One or two individuals
or groups can make a big difference.

On Sunday from 12:00 to 1:30, Hinshaw"s Motorcycle Store will be serving
lunch and inviting volunteers from both Pierce and King County.
(hinshawsmortorcycl estore.com) 2583-249-7180 or 800-658-6053. Their
location is at 1611 West Valley Highway, which is South of the Peasley
Canyon Road.

Response has been weak, but we hope that you will not let the enemies of
off-roading win this battle.

For All of us who are working so hard.

John Hale
Campaign Manager

SUBJECT: SB 5544

MESSAGE:

Senator Kline,

I am curious to know why you would co-sponsor the most discriminatory,
anti-OHV Bill ever proposed?

SB 5544changes would creating maximum sound levels for riding
near any residence, regardless of where that residence is located or how it
is zoned. It would become illegal for my Family to ride our motorcylces and
quads
where they are "plainly audible" from in or adjacent to any residence. This
would even include residences that are on farm land, forest land or in an
industrial area.

One of the few riding area riding areas where it is still legal to ride in
Western Washington is Captial State Forest near Olympia. There are a few
parcels of private property located within the forest. This law, if passed,
would effectively shut this area down. Ditto for the nearby Straddle Line
ORV park.

What really strikes me as absurd about this proposal is race tracks like
Evergreen Speedway in Monroe could host auto races of all types, but any off
road events would be illegal.

In addition, this law would only apply to my dirtbike or quad. It would not

apply to other, more common sources of residential noise such as lawnmowers,

chainsaws, cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, stereos, playgrounds, ballfields,

etc. It is just plain discrimination against Off Highway Vehicle use and
has nothing to do
with keeping neighborhoods quiet.

Off Highway Vehicle recreation is a fun and growing family sport, it would
be nice to see sports that support families embraced by Olympia with more
open riding areas, instead of discriminated against.

I would hope that you drop your support of this legislation.



NOTE: We could not determine that this constituent is in your district

Dear Mr. Helgeson,

I signed on because I have been annoyed, endangered, and angered one too
many times by people riding motorized dirt-bikes and other off-road vehicles
that have no damn business anywhere. To me, this bill is narrow--it doesn't
include those "personal watercraft," seemingly jet-powered little missiles
whose only apparent purpose is to risk death and dismemberment for boaters
and swimmers, for the amusement of spoiled drunk teenagers.

Yes, I am sure there is the occasional responsible person who rides one of
these machines on land or water. And yes, like every human being I have
been pleasantly surprized to find my stereotypes broken. But why, why, why,
do folks insist on motorized "sports"? Those two words are an oxymoron.
There is nothing sporting--athletic, physically demanding--about riding any
machine anywhere. And it's a damned annoyance to folks who see the outdoors
as a place to go for quiet and solitude and self-exploration. I would be
happy to ban the use of the internal combustion engine off-road, by anyone
without a handicapped sticker, subject to a stiff fine. Maybe we could call
this an anti-obesity measure.

Please circulate this to all motorized sports enthusiasts, so they can
remember never to vote for me.

Adam Kline


WTF IS THIS GUY THINKING


 
Glad I don't live in washington, and still sorry I live in Oregon, the politicians these liberal hacks elect will continue to destroy the country we all live in.
