Some of you may wonder - "What is 1 of 909,000". As an OHV rider in the state of Tennessee you are one of 909,000 riders. These numbers are not made up. Go to this US Forest Service document link to read for yourselves. The 909,000 number is big and if somehow we could start working as a coalition we could sway elections and ensure that we have like minded people on our side. For an example Sen Alexander and Sen Corker both are listed as unfriendly by the AMA. I have beliefs and I will never force my beliefs on anyone but i'll be damned if I will support someone that is unfriendly to my beliefs.
The bigger number is 43,000,000 OHV riders in the US as a total. Technically you are one of 43,000,000. We have to unite, we have to communicate, we have to win the right to use our public land.
We are only THE PUBLIC when we become the activists.
