RIDING FREE FROM DC:

Your Weekly Biker Bulletin from Inside the Beltway

Your Motorcycle Riders Foundation team in Washington, D.C. is pleased to provide our members with the latest information and updates on issues that impact the freedom and safety of American street motorcyclists. Count on your MRF to keep you informed about a range of matters that are critical to the advancement of motorcycling and its associated lifestyle. Published weekly when the U.S. Congress is in session.

The Swamp in August:
This week the House of Representatives adjourned for the August recess and the Senate will follow suit early next week. Lawmakers will not return to D.C. until after Labor Day. With lawmakers gone Congressional staff has the opportunity to catch up on work, they have delayed over the past few months. We at the MRF will take this opportunity to circle back with offices we have met with and follow up on our requests.  

Additionally, this week the D.C. MRF team completed our 102nd in-person Congressional visit and we have now been in to see at least one office from 46 states on our profiling resolution. Rhode Island, Delaware, Vermont and Hawaii have somehow eluded us, but we will do our best to get into those offices next month and go 50 for 50.

The next scheduled weekly update will be in September but if anything urgent happens we will send out a special edition of the weekly update.

Enjoy the last month of Summer!

Stay Updated:
If you haven’t checked out the MRF’s Facebook page now is a great time to take a look. Our Facebook page has information about the annual “Meetings of the Minds” in September as well as events hosted by state motorcycle rights organizations leading up to and at Sturgis.

Facebook is also a great way to learn about legislative calls to action and spread the word, so if you aren’t already following us make sure to swing by our page and hit like and follow!


Standing Update:
We are currently at 64 cosponsors from 27 states and one territory for the motorcycle profiling resolution. This is an increase of 6 new cosponsors since last week and we added our first lawmakers from Maine and Montana. Click HERE to see if your member has signed on to H. Res 255.
