Immediate Attention Needed For Hb2443 Survival

[1BLKJP]

OK this sounds bad HB2443 has FAILED in the Third Read today................we have 24 hours to file a motion for a reconsideration vote. We have a Senator that will swing and run the motion.......here is what we need you all to do:

Everyone that is in each of these districts and votes or I suppose if you dont vote but live there too........that will help...........Identify your self as a district XX person, beg or whatever you feel ok with doing........ that this bill be giving a chance to work......................I will send a list out of the other senators that voted against too........as soon as it is up on the website................... but these are the swing votes that we need...............only Dem that was not for previously was Rios.

Here are the districts and their Senators that we have to convince:

Jorge Luis Garcia******************************************** ***** jgarcia@azleg.gov

Also here is a complete list of Senators that provided NO votes on today's reading. I have also included the 3 Senators at the bottom that did not vote at all. If you live in these districts please get the word out to your senator that we need their support for this bill.

Honorable Senator XXXXX
District XXXX

I live , work and play in districtXXX. The trails and places I ride are quickly being closed for lack of funds to maintain and manage. I support this bill and know that unlike the current recreation permit I must have from State Land department, FUNDS from HB 2443 will actually go to help keep trails open thru improved trail signs, access maps and funding for Law enforcement to help manage the trails systems.

We understand your support of not "adding more tax's to the public" however this bill is not a tax to the public. It is strictly FUNDING FROM THE SPECIFIC USERS.........FOR THE USERS to help us with education, maintenance and law enforcement to promote RESPONSIBLE OHV use on Arizona lands. If WE, are willing to support ourselves I sincerely request we be given a chance to make this work. OHV activity will only be increasing and...........WE NEED management, and the state budget simply cannot fund this. Why are we, as enthusiasts being penalized because we wish to help the land management agencies and law enforcement agencies build a responsible and educated group of public land users in our state?

We have worked for over 5 years to get a good bill to help manage OHV recreation in Arizona. We believe this is the bill. This bill will help protect this revenue source and help manage recreation use for future Arizona residents and visitors to enjoy for many years to come.

Again I ask you for your help.

Please give this bill a chance!

Please support HB2443.

Sincerely,

XXXXXX
District XXXXX

Sorry for posting this all over the board, but we have only 24 hours to file the motion to reconsider and we need to get support for this out to our senators. Especially anyone that lives in District 23.

Post this to any forum you frequent in the state. Post it to your email lists, have your neighbors or relatives email one for you also. This is as close to do or die as it gets on this thing.

Thank you all again for your continued support on these matters.

[My1stJeep]

A note to those of you whose senators voted yes, thanking them and asking for their continued support would also go along way to ensure one of their votes don't end up switched.

Also please send them to your senator and not all. It appears that some of our emails did not come through and with all of the senators listed it may have come through as spam and never reached any of them. We need to focus on our individual senators and and encourage them to vote as those who they represent want them to vote.

[ThumpAZ]

The district map I found online (to figure out my disctrict - 21) shows different names??
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/maps/state.htm

Sent a letter to the rep you listed for District 21, anyway.

[YGOHOME]

if the district I'm registered in (28) is not one of the listed districts then there is nothing I can do?

[Fire Ball]

I fired off a letter as a concerned citizen of Arizona to all the members. might fire off a couple more.

I'm trying to get all my family members to do the same. Time to step up folks.

Bill

[AbsoluteOffroad]

Just got done sending it for our home district and the shop.

Lisa

[Sandee McCullen]

if the district I'm registered in (28) is not one of the listed districts then there is nothing I can do?

District 28 Senator is Paula Aboud and she's been supportive throughout this legislation. A letter of "thanks" would most likely be appreciated.

[Sandee McCullen]

The district map I found online (to figure out my disctrict - 21) shows different names??
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/maps/state.htm

District 21 Senator is Jay Tibshraeny...... he's been against throughout.

[Stu Olson]

Additional information to consider:

Barry M. Aarons, Author of the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge", does not consider voting for this HB 2443 to be a violation of the Pledge. Mr Aarons will take any call from Senators or be happy to email you his response on this issue. Many of the Senators have signed this Pledge and are worried about violating it. They are voting no because of this.

THis is a must, we really need this. Please, write and call your senators. A letter to each and every no vote is a great idea, plus a note of thanks to any voting yes. We need this more than I can even express, please take the time, even if you have done this over the last couple weeks, we need our senators to know how much this means to us and that we support it.

[Steve]

I have received a message back from Senator Linda Gray of District 10. She states she voted in favor and will be supporting it again on the next vote. Hopefully she can persuade other Senators also.

[Hackle]

I know Linda and respect her a lot, she sent me an e-mail letting me know she will continue to support the bills also.

Is there anyone seeking help from the Vendors, ATV crowd?

[PerilousCustoms]

Sent one for District 22...

[1BLKJP]

Is there anyone seeking help from the Vendors, ATV crowd?

Bill,

We are always working in conjunction with both Vendors, ORBA, and all other tracks of OHV thru the Coalition. Everybody is on board with this one and it's even such a good bill that the Enviro's are neutral on it because they don't want to look bad by coming out against it. Everything possible is being done to ensure this bill passes on the last vote. A huge thanks go out to all of you for the work you've put in sending letters and making calls when I've asked you to on here. Without it we probably wouldn't have gotten it back to the point it will be voted on again.

[Antman]

Keep up the good work Jack. Same for everyone else. Let's Go get em!:)
