Biker Friendly Virginia House of Delegate Candidates

Hersey — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:01:43 +0000

We have the opportunity to make a difference this year in the Virginia General Assembly by helping to get some biker-friendly candidates elected in the House of Delegates in November.

Even if you aren’t able to vote for any of the candidates listed, you can help us work on their behalf and encourage others to vote for them.

The incumbents have made a poor showing when voting on motorcycle-related issues and now its time to give them a negative vote.

Help put up some signs, make some calls or hand out some campaign material. Let them know that you are an involved biker and are willing to do something to help.
