A few words from your President:
Well another year is in the books for the A.B.A.T.E RALLY. I want to apologize for confusion for Saturday’s beer problem. We know it angered a lot of people, and your voices were
heard. Unfortunately, ABATE was stuck in a bad spot as Glenco enforced a no outside beverage policy. The ABATE party committee was under the impression that we had the grounds
as a private party, and that was not the case. We understand that the rules may have been relaxed the night before, and years before, but it was out of our hands last night. We did everything we could to try to resolve the issue but it is not our liquor license so we had no control.
I do want to remind everyone where your ABATE support goes and how the funds are broken
down.
Your membership cost $25 ($20 goes to state $ 5 stays with the chapter). This allows you to
obtain your perks from our affiliates for the next year. The remaining $15 helps offset the
cost to rent the grounds for your camping and offset the cost for the beer, soda and water that
was provided at no charge.
We invite all members to the next General Membership meet on July 14th to discuss any issues you would like the express.
The Ed Netterberg weekend is coming soon and we have decided to make it a family event as
well. We will be having a bicycle rodeo for the kids as well as the usual events. Hope to see
everyone there. It’s should be a good time for all!

Motorcycle Only Checkpoint H.R.
1861 – Needs your SUPPORT
now !!! Congressman James Sensenbrenner
(Wisconsin) introduced a bill to prohibit the
federal funding of motorcycle only roadside
checkpoints. Sensenbrenner has always been an
MRF Champion and he needs your support now
on this bill. As we approach July 4th, our Nations Independence Day this is a perfect opportunity for you to use the system that our founding fathers set in place to make a change for the
better. The bill, H.R. 1861, has nine original cosponsors however, we need many more to pass
this landmark legislation. Call your congressman and ask them to support H.R. 1861. Sensenbrenner had this to say in a 'Dear Colleague
letter' that is circulating in the House of Representatives; 'In the 112th Congress, I introduced
H.R. 904, a bill to prohibit the Department of
Transportation (DOT) from providing funds to
state and local authorities for the purpose of
creating motorcycle only checkpoints. Section
one of the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding
Act contains the same language as H.R. 904.
However, this bill also contains language to
force the DOT to focus motorcycle safety efforts on crash prevention programs, not national
helmet mandates.' It's important to contact your
sitting member of the House of Representatives
and ask them to be a co-sponsor of this important legislation. Ask them to contact Congressman James Sensenbrenner and lend their support as co-sponsor of H.R. 1861. You can contact the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202)

Sorry that this is a little later than I had
planned. My Dad’s situation took me
away from it for awhile This month’s
newsletter is always done a little later
because it’s for two months but not usually this late.
Thanks to all our affiliates who decided

It is no surprise that not everything that comes our way is what we think
we want. In fact, in life we deal with many "problems" (opportunities is
a more positive term). The difference between a "problem" and an
"opportunity" is often in how we look at the issue which is before us.
God has not promised that everything will be easy even after you turn
your life over to Him. As Christians, we have been told that we will be
tested, tried and challenged. We are to put off the "old man "and put on
the new; be as clay in the potter's hands. None of us enjoy the molding
process but it is necessary to become Christ like. Maybe this is to develop character in us!
Romans 8:28 "And we know all things work together for good to them
that love God..."
Know for sure that God will meet our needs as He has through the ages!
We just have to trust (faith) in Him and turn to Him in belief and prayer.
The lives of each of us may be altered by the Lord in a wonderful way,
if you will only entrust Him with your life.
1 John 5:14-15 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if
we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that
He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that
we asked of Him."
Romans 12:10 "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly
love... rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in
prayer."
Let us NEVER stop praying for one another! AMEN!
In His service

BIKE RAFFLE
REPORT
General consensus amongst the general membership dictates that we will
raffle off another bike for our fund
raiser next year. That being said we
already sold a chance on a chance
ticket at the June general membership
meeting with Beth being the winner.
She will get the opportunity to fill the
first ticket for next year’s raffle. Lynette continued on selling the chance
on a chance tickets during the membership rally and sold enough tickets
to have 2 more winners who will get
the next tickets. We will continue to
do chance on a chance here and there
and maybe we can give the bike away
to somebody we see on a regular basis
next year.
Congratulations go to Chuck Hibbard
the 2013 bike winner, and to Craig
Waddington for selling the winning
ticket. Craig has always been in the
top 5 in ticket sales and we appreciate
that.
Thank you again to all the members
for helping out on the raffle this year,
it was quite an accomplishment to be
able to have all the tickets sold by
May 12th and Mary and I would like
to keep the push going for the 2014
raffle which will be decided when the
manufactures come out with the new
models. We sure would like to get a
good start again in the fall so everyone can rest easy and enjoy the summer which has finally hit.
In a little over a month we should be
able to view the new models of bikes
and narrow down some choices of
models to choose from to raffle off. It
will be hard to top last year’s selection and I feel our selection was one
of the primary reasons why ticket
sales went so well.
On a personal note I want to thank all
the members for the cards, thoughts,
and prayers honoring my father’s long
productive life. He will be missed by
all.
B.A. and Mary

United States Senate confirmed
Anthony Foxx as the new Secretary of Transportation
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation reports
that the United States Senate confirmed Anthony Foxx as the new Secretary of Transportation. Foxx replaces the out going Secretary,
Ray LaHood.
Foxx, is a relative newcomer to politics. For
the past four years he was the Mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina and prior to that he
served on the Charlotte city council.
Foxx has stated his priorities for his new position would be safety, increasing transportation
efficiency and boosting infrastructure development.
The MRF looks forward to working Secretary
Foxx in his new position.
CAN I CARRY A
FIREARM WHILE
RIDING MY BIKE?
Here’s the answer:
32-20-6.6. Carrying firearm on motorcycle or off-road vehicle--Exception for
