Nice to see such a good turnout! Not a single naysayer in the bunch, either.

BIG turnout - much bigger than I was expecting. It was standing room only with about 10 bikers there. One Senator was negative but the chairman was the sponsor and the others didn't say much/anything. Hopefully it'll get some traction and get voted on this session.

OK kiddies. This is what I have received:

Quote:
You all did wonderful. The next step is to get the word of support to the whole Senate since the bill will have to go to the floor. The vote was 7-2, with Senators Shapiro and Huffman voting no. I'd appreciate any help you can give with this.


Thank you again!
Huffman was the Senator that protested at the end. She is a newly elected [Dec 2008] through a special election Senator. She has not explained her stance as to why she voted No. From the session - I think it's because she thinks it's a true California-esque fly-by lane split bill. She didn't seem to understand.

Shapiro wasn't present for any of the testimony or explanation.

Time to email EVERYONE as it's GOING TO THE SENATE FLOOR!!!!

GREAT job today... y'all did our lifestyle proud.

Good job on your public service, can you keep the rest of us semi posted on how this is going in case it makes it to other states?
