The Blue Ribbon Coalition gets a lot of negative publicity, not sure how much of it is true, or just "the other side" speaking their mind...
Blue Ribbon Bedfellows
Other organizations out there, U4WDA, MW4WDA are doing a lot more grass roots work and haven't received nearly as much negative publicity as the BRC.
Either way you look at it, they are out there fighting to keep trails open as well as trying to get new trails opened for us to wheel on. I'm not sure if any money that was made from the FJ Summit was donated to any of the national organizations, but it would have been cool to see that happen.
Bottom line, donate, donate, donate, and then ask a friend to donate. If we want to continue doing what we enjoy, we need someone lobbying for us in Washington...
