I hadn't received this yet. I'll pass it on to my club members, etc.
Thanks for posting it.

 

Biker church services? Is Sputnik a preacher now? That guy will do
anything to steal your money.

What are roadblocks and what is equal access as TMRA have issues with?

 

Yeah, me too, Jerry...yeah!

 

I wonder if your supposed to hit the bar before or after biker church
service.

Very confusing to say the least.

Suppose BJay had input to this agenda.

Block rooms not roads. Is that a Hate Crime?

....louie

 

Lets say you went to the Sputnik Biker Church Service after you hit
the bar. Then in church you repent for your sins but your drunk.
Wouldnt that be a RWI ( Repenting While Intoxicated) and the biker
church fine you a bunch of money??

Redshad

 

I'm guessing roadblocks are DUI checkpoint type things, and equal access
maybe has something to do with off-road vehicles and parks, dunno

 

Dude, they serve wine at my church.

Is that the equal access thing I was asking about? If so, I can see where
roadblocks would be a hindrance to access.

All kidding aside, I can get 200% behind a Failure To Yield legislation and
punishment.

 

Well then, I can see your church also being against roadblocks.

....louie

 

Please send your check to TMRA2 care of Sputnik,,,,In the memo line be
sure to put its for the Failure To Yeild Bill. Send as large of a
donation as possible because he needs to buy stamps and envelopes and
a motorcycle.

The equal access amendment is to ensure that people on two wheels have
access to parking, restaurants (like Keller's drive in) as well as access
to parking where businesses try to restrict motorcycles. I've seen quite
a few parking garages that specifically state that motorcycles are
prohibited from parking. Most riders do anyway but it's wrong to try to
keep bikers away just because of their transportation.

What I've read about the roadblocks is that DPS wanted to run periodic
roadblocks to ensure drivers were properly licensed and insured. Several
state legislators complained that DPS would use the roadblocks to find
illegal immigrants and arrest them. The argument is that that is not
DPS's job. I've since read that DPS has stopped pushng the idea of
roadblocks because of the backlash,

Thanks for the info. I guess scooter plonked me ( I did not feel a thing
though) or he did not know. Heaven forbid any Texas agency enforce
immigration laws. Being Federal and all. I bet if a person was making 20
dollar bills in their garage, the DPS would knock down any Federal agents to
get to you first.

 

I am generally opposed to checkpoints of any kind. Seems to violate that
whole "unreasonable search" thing, but I'll never convince a judge of that.

 

I bet you are referring to things like this.

Or maybe this:

 

Those are reasonable examples of things to which I am opposed. I think.
Didn't watch all of the Youtube video due to crappy download speeds.
Basically, if the cops have stopped me to find out if I'm doing
something wrong, I am opposed to it. If they stopped me because I was
actually violating a law, it becomes slightly more tolerable. But then
there's that whole "The reason I stopped you sir, is the light on your
license plate isn't bright enough. Could you step out of the car?" thing.
