If there is any chance you can make it to the House hearing tomorrow - please do. This is very important - very. We must make a stand and showing. Please pass this on to everyone you know and encourage them to come. Contact your club members - post it on your sites. There will be another report in the Oregonian tomorrow. You can go online and add your comments about the article so everyone can get our side......Also, please call Jeff Manning at 503-294-7606 or email him at jmanning@news.oregonian.com. I will try to get the main Editor's contact information tomorrow so we can all let them know how we feel. It would also be great if anyone has connections to find out if Concerned Families for ATV Safety or Consumer Federation of America has paid for anything (including the earlier 1/2 page ad) related to this story. They are mentioned and there is a link to Sue Rabe's site. Her site was just recently updated and spruced up.... seems pretty obvious after you read the story... It will get nothing but worse from here on out. At the start of this I said our fight is with the Press - here is a great example of that. We must fight back and not allow them to leave this perception of us in the public's mind. If you advertise with the Oregonian I would certainly look elsewhere and if you subscribe please consider calling to cancel and be sure to let them know why. He has no interest in helping us do the right thing - no interest in doing good at all - nope, his goal is to totally discredit and destroy what we have done but as I have said before - not wise to poke the bear.... We aren't easily discouraged and we certainly won't roll over without a fight. Hope to see you all at the Hearing! Lindy
