Subject: ABATE Weekly Blast 10/16/11
BLAST for 10-15 to 10-23
Happy Octoberfest to all! Hope you all got out and enjoyed some festivities somewhere, even if it wasn't in Daytona. A belated Happy Birthday to Montana
It is good to hear that our President Grumpy and Pastor So-So are doing so well after their surgeries. We wish them Godspeed on their recovery.
Both are home and doing well and feeling well.
Sunday the 16th: Earls has Jimmy Van Zandt playing...if you get there early it is a show to see. Awesome!
Indy Board meeting is Tuesday
Thursday night we are setting up at Long Dogger's to support their bike night. Come out and support your chapter. It seems someone has a problem with ABATE and has posted stickers the ABATE Does Not Speak for them. Sorry to hear that. They are missing the issues of our cause; fighting for our rights to share the road and freedom of choice. Anything else is a personal issue.
Next Saturday Oct. 22 is our HOLLY-WEEN POKER RUN and COSTUME CONTEST. We start at Camp Holly
Sunday October 23 is Biker Sunday at the Church of the Nazarene in Rockledge. This annual event is for you the biker and we thank Spirit Riders for their continued support.
Don't forget the General Membership Meeting on Tuesday Oct. 25. This is our night to decide on a bike night location. The committee has dwindled it down to two locations. Come and make your voice heard. If you don't vote, you can't complain.
Have an awesome week!

Here is my comment on this in reference to the part that reads: Thursday night we are setting up at Long Dogger's to support their bike night. Come out and support your chapter.

I think abate is reading more into the stickers than what they say.
The woman who designed them is Not a member of abate and is simply saying abate does Not Speak for her.
She has also said that because of the abate membership being less than 1% of the motorcyclist in the state it obviously does not speak for them either.
My latest conversation with her she said that over 2 thousand of these stickers have been given out all over the state. There are available for free (pay shipping $0.50) at http://bigbendbikersforfreedom.blogspot.com/
A lot of people are really upset about abate being involved in raising the motorcycle licensing fee and then receiving $250,000.00 from the State of Florida
They are also upset that money is being taken from other causes and not abate.
This is a freedom of opinion thing and though abate is entitled to theirs they should not try to deny others choice.
