Join the MRF and Rights Groups From Around The Country In Asking Congress To Preserve Funding for Motorcycle Awareness and Rider Education Programs (2010 funds) and to celebrate House Resolution 269 Declaring May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.
 

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is pleased to announce that the

Sergeant-at-Arms of the United States House of Representatives has

approved our request to hold an event inside the Capitol complex. The

event is planned for the morning and early afternoon of Thursday, May

14th, 2009. By all means, save that date on your calendars and plan to be

in Washington, DC.



Bikers Inside the Beltway will take place to educate members of Congress

on the importance of motorcycle safety and awareness programs. The MRF

will also take the opportunity to reaffirm its position that "2010 funds"

(funds appropriated by Congress to support motorcycle rider education and

awareness) have had a positive impact and should be preserved.



The MRF has secured limited parking space on the grounds of the U.S.

Capitol.  If you are sincerely interested in riding your motorcycle into

the grounds please email Jeff@mrf.org or call 202-546-0983 to join the

list for admittance. Due to space and security concerns by the

administration of the House of Representatives, we may be forced to limit

the number of motorcycles that we can bring onto the grounds. So please

let us know as soon as possible.



Of course, there is no limit on the number of people who can attend. The

MRF is still working with House officials and will present more details

shortly.

ABATE of Maryland is requesting your help in making this very important event a success by attending.

Seeing as we are the closest SMRO, we are needed to add additional riders to the crowd. You can either 

 ride into DC to the Capital OR you can take the metro in, either way we need people to show!

Additional parking has been secured for around 100 or so bike nearby. 

Anyone who can attend is requested to contact the ABATE office (410-263-9185) so we can get your

name onto the list for the MRF...you do not have to call the MRF if you have contacted our office by May 11th.



Further details will be put out as they become available. A flyer is attached




PLEASE ATTEND THIS VERY IMPORTANT FEDERAL LOBBYING EVENT.



Thanking you in advance for your help.
