SAVE OUR RIDE AREAS;

JOIN ARRA

The free, quick and easy way to send a powerful message

 

Dear NOHVCC Representatives,

 

    Americans for Responsible Recreational Access (ARRA) http://responsiblerecreation.policy.net/home/ has made the process of writing our legislators as easy as it’s ever been! I know because I signed up today and had a note sent out to all my Members of Congress in minutes! And this kind of political action really does work. How many times have you read in the newspaper how a Member of Congress’ office “was flooded with e-mails” regarding a certain topic, thereby influencing his or her vote?

 

  ARRA’s goal is to educate riders on national policy issues that affect their access to public lands and to work influence policy at a national level.  Federal land policy ultimately affects the future of OHV recreation across the country.

  

   Getting the job done through the ARRA web site is as simple as this:

1.  Go to the ARRA web site at http://responsiblerecreation.policy.net/home/.

2.  Sign up on a really short registration form.

3. View the current Action Center topics and choose one to respond to.

4. Read a quick summary of ARRA’s stance in the letter to your Members of Congress.  Then, if you would like to, you can type in a personal note - it usually only takes two or three sentences to get your point across.

5. Then Boom! ARRA automatically sends the message to all your Members of Congress!

 

   ARRA will then stay in touch with you regarding upcoming legislation and will let you know the right time to respond. This is democracy at its finest and NOHVCC encourages all of its members to get involved- it only takes a few minutes out of your day but can make a difference when the gavels start dropping on Capitol Hill!

 

   One of the things I really like about ARRA’s methods is the fact that we can add our own original notes - it’s been shown that “stock” letters and e-mails don’t have as much influence on our legislators.

 

   Many of you have already registered. But you can still help ARRA get the word out and build a grassroots network.

There’s a Spread the Word http://responsiblerecreation.policy.net/grassroots/spread.vtml section where you can insert your friends’ e-mails to get them on the ball with ARRA.  

 

   Or you can simply forward this NOHVCC Special Message to all your club/club members and encourage everyone to register. This is a Win-Win proposition for everyone and we hope all of our NOHVCC representatives take the time to give it a shot.  The more emails generated to Congress, the more influential our collective voice will be.

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

 

Steve Casper

NOHVCC Communications Director
