“ABATE of South Carolina, A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments, has been fighting for the rights of South Carolina motorcyclists for over thirty years now,” explains Ruddock. “This year’s rally is of particular importance because ABATE supports South Carolina’s current motorcycle helmet law. After what unfolded in last year’s legislative session, it is obvious that our liberties are not secure with our current state senators and representatives.”

“Our Lobby Days and Helmet Rallies are calls to action to all bikers, motorcyclists, and basically every other person who is concerned with government taking away their freedoms and liberties. If we have learned anything about government in the last thirty years, whether at the local, state, or federal level, it is that powerful outside forces with lots of money to create a perception of a crisis to justify a new law, often can eliminate the voice of thousands of everyday people who just want to be left alone; to live peacefully without government interference,” continues Ruddock.

“This is an unfortunate reality in South Carolina that will only be countered by a larger public outcry than we had last year, alone with a new, determined voice that will outlast the lobbyists and Washington DC advocacy group’s money. With motorcycle registrations on the rise in South Carolina, I think ABATE of South Carolina is up to the challenge,” concluded Ruddock.

There will be a post-rally gathering at the Flying Saucer Restaurant from 2:00pm until 6:00pm. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
