[QUOTE="LoriKTM, post: 103727, member: 18495"] I think the problem is evident right in the first post. Look at all of those links! We are too splintered to maintain the voice and impact that will move legislature. I think most people want to help, but they don't know where to start. We all want to put our money towards the group that is going to do the most good and have a chance at fighting the enviros at their own game. Faced with so many options, BRC, AMA, LandRights, plus the myriad local groups that exist in every state, people get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. My suggestion? Pick one or two national groups, and a local group, and start with that. Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC) is great, they have a large membership base, but if we could get them exposed to more people east of the Mississippi, they'd be unstoppable. As it is, their membership now has a decided west-coast bent, and many people (non-members) are under the impression that they are almost virtually non-involved in the east coast. AMA is another good choice, but their membership is motorcycle related only, and they have lots of issues to cover in that arena! I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a very vocal activist. My personality prevents me from going out and starting petitions and knocking on doors to get signatures. (I get the willies just thinking about it!) However, I make a decent wage, so I'm more than willing to pass some money on to the vocal types who will speak for me. I'll sign petitions and write letters, as well. Is it enough? Well, maybe not, but it's better than nothing. I would enjoin any other members to try to do the same, spend a few bucks to support these groups. Also, keep in mind that contributions to the BRC (above and beyond your membership fee) are tax deductible! Take the first step. Sign up and write a check. The rest will follow. [/QUOTE]
