What off-road issues are at the forefront in your state?
I'm going to hold back here in describing the unique history (as I see it) in my great state of Michigan and ask if there is any interest in forming strategy concerning local, regional or national political issues through our shared interest in these vehicles (The TLCA and BRC come to mind simply because TLCA's former president is now evidently head of the BRC and from what I've gathered a decent and reasonable individual).
I've pretty much came to the conclusion over the years that I could never be an officer in anything remotely politically related; yet I can guarantee the equal time put in on the sidelines if our focus was to approach these intermingled issues one heck of a lot differently than we have been to date. (getting user groups together with no b.s. excuses from any of them regarding "your impact over mine" or "we'll just go out and do this on our own to tie this up for ourselves").
I believe that there are a lot of issues out there that national orv groups have either just been to busy to tackle or honestly just to darn afraid to....and I'd like to see a group put together that somewhat forces us to stand up for what's right.(there is no way in heck you can make headway on issues or be respected by the rest of the world, including the greenies, if we allow the lowest common denominators among us to bog us down at every turn with re-hashed problems).
Wouldn't it be great to put many of these doggedly simple issues to rest with: "We solved that in '06; we don't argue what's ridiculous anymore and either you're 'with us or agin' us on our legacy driven goals" (?).
I also happen to believe that there are a lot of solutions out there to our problems in the form of community members simply needing a place to discuss them (with obviously the will to do so).
