...to see this son of a b!tch! And Stand on the steps of the capital as part of the ORV Rally.
I sent his this letter:
Senator Kline,
Your response to SB 5544 has recently been brought to my attention. Please see your letter in question posted below:
"From: Kline, Sen. Adam
Subject: RE: Possible NC: SB 5544
Dear Mr. (removed because this persons name isn't important),
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"
If it is the actual response from you Senator, believe me it is being circulated.
I am able to count the letters written to the government by me on one hand, so you can think of yourself as special. I am outraged at the blatant prejudice displayed in this letter, and hope that this letter is not authentic. I am surprised to see such ignorance coming forth from your office. In fact from the tone of the letter I can only guess you were drunk or under the influence of drugs when you crafted such a blatantly inflammatory response.
I am a second generation dirt bike rider, and grew up riding with my mother, father and little brother. I perform trail maintenance, clean up forested areas of illegal dumping where we recreate, and have enjoyed my 2 wheel recreation for coming up on 28 of my almost 32 years I have been on this earth. I would like to know what so soured you to the point that culminated in this letter. I am heading down to Olympia Friday March 9th, taking time off of work, because this subject is important to me and my family and friends.
Please respond to the letter to authenticate your original feelings posted above. If this is not an accurate letter of your position, than let your actual opinion be known.

PS- I an a little lit up about this right now..... They are legislating to make ORV's illegal to ride under the disguise of a noise law. Just ORV's not yard equipment, cars, etc. ORV's only. *grrrrrr*
