Message from Bikers USA to Mathew Heffley, MHeffley@khp.ks.gov regarding a DOT NHTSA Sponsored Event. Mr. Heffley, The NHTSA, your event sponsor for the 2nd KC Metro Motorcycle Summit, on May 6th at Kansas City International Raceway, is trying to mandate helmet laws. Therefore, I must presume the same is true of you. I shall not assist you in your endeavor to further the safety Nazi propaganda and lies which I believe will be done at your "summit". Rather, I shall stand firm against attempted fascist governance, and ask that you seriously consider the imperative that Americans have an inalienable right to individual liberty and responsibility. Helmets should never be forced onto anyones heads. If people refuse to attach a torturous, and potentially dangerous, device to their body, in order to travel freely across this country, such refusal must not be perceived as a violation of statutory law. Forcing them to put a device on their head is the act of a socialist safety nanny police state. When I joined the military, I swore an oath to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I consider the bad governance by Washington DC bureaucrats, such as the NHTSA, to be a serious threat to our free nation. Although I am no longer in the military, I still consider myself duty bound as a citizen to stand for freedom, liberty, and rights of the individual, in nonviolent, vocal opposition to an authoritarian government which assumes broad powers not specifically allowed by the US Constitution. If your ONLY purpose is to promote the use of race tracks, rather than the streets, I applaud this as very worthwhile. However, your sponsors have already proven themselves an enemy of individual liberty. As such, they shall get neither quarter nor support from me. Rather than allow the government to promote "Bike Wars" as seen on your poster, I prefer to call for bikers to unite in opposition to totalitarian enactments proposed by your conspirators. They can enjoy the track another day. FIRE MARY PETERS! LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE ! END ALL MANDATORY HELMET STATUTES ! |
