JP,
As per the ECEA site, that was the direction givin to us.
Thanks for this new list...
One question though, why wasn't this brought to our attention at the bills introduction?

There was an action alert thru NJOHVA one on 5/7/07 and others also I think it may have been posted on BB`s, maybe not.
But let me give you some background............. I follow anywhere from 20 to 50 legislative bills per session pertaining to OHV use in one form or another. Most of which you never hear of and never make to 1st reading. Each bill that comes out I personally read thoroughly, make notes and recommendations, call and speak to either the legislator him/herself or their chief of staff. I discuss the bill from our side , I ask what prompted the bill and I try to talk objectively to the individual about the bill and the OHV industry. This takes about a month of phone tag and back and forth phone calls and sometimes a sit down at their office. In a lot of cases an action alert would be premature. Although there is no action alert or it is not posted on a bulletin board that does not mean all is dandy in OHV world, I do this on the side with no compensation even though it is very time consuming and costs me $$ every day to do it... I do it for the love of the sport and a promise I made my kids that they would someday ride legally in NJ.....
I hope this did not sound argumentative as it was not meant as such....
PS: We will be getting some national help on this one.... all I can say for now.....
