Urgent! ATV association game plan....

From Joel Patnaude;

Dear silent sports advocates,

Below is the "game plan" of the Wisconsin ATV Association going into this Thursday's final meeting of the Special Legislative State Trails Policy Committee at the State Capitol. Randy Harden's strategy and scare tactics make clear the ATV propnents are mobilizing.

We need to do the same.

Testimony will not be taken on Jan. 4, but we do need a show of force there and going into the next legislative session. We may not be able to stop a huge increase in ATV funding, but we will argue forcefully for an ATV damage repair fund, increased law enforcement and a dedicated funding stream for the development and maintenance of nonmotorized trails.

Please join us by taking a stand for the preservation and expansion of safe and quiet public trails in Wisconsin. And please pass the word that the timing to do so is critical.

For Thursday's agenda, copies of the draft bills, testimony from both sides of the aisle and how to get your voice heard, go to http://www.legis.state.wi.us/lc/3
