Dear WOHVA Supporter,
A few years ago YOUR attendance at the WOHVA OHV Rally in Olympia stopped Senate action on the onerous SB 5544 in its tracks. They decided not to even bring that Bill out on the floor for its previously scheduled debate and vote once they knew YOU WERE THERE in Olympia!
That Bill would have prevented you from even starting your OHV on your own private property! Those of you who packed the Senate galleries that day will never forget how good it felt to be there! It was a terrific and really historic occasion!
This year your OHV volunteers are tracking over 30 Bills that may affect OHV recreation! It seems the anti-access, anti-OHV legislators never quit. Yep, Senator Kline and his buddies are still there.
Bills that previously did not pass are really Zombies that can be brought into action by the use of various procedures IF their proponents think the opposition to them has gone away.
Other legislation is still pending to which the Zombie Bills could be attached if your enemies think they can Git-R-Done by sleight of hand or by sneaking it through in the closing minutes of this session.
PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
ATTEND THE RALLY so THEY know YOU STILL CARE and are WATCHING THEM
