IN MEMORY OF...

Ride On Angels Wings
Gone now, never to be forgotten.
Forever in our memory.
Everyday the Sun will shine for you,
Everyday the roads will be dry.
The straights go on forever,
The curves are as you dream.
There is no more pain.
There are no more worries.
You will still be there at every party.
You're puttin' with the stars,
riding our creator's smooth asphalt.
Since Angels ride on Harleys,
there's no doubt you'll surely travel far.
On Earth You were our Brother,
and now you are a Star.

1939 - 2010
Sputnik Left this behind for us all:
The Five Steps to Freedom!
A simple plan was developed and promoted by another leader in the
MRO (Motorcycle Right Organization) movement several
years back.
His name was "Sputnik", of the Texas Motorcycle Riders Assoc. II.
This plan has been a guiding principle for this and similar organizations.
1. Register to Vote!!! You cannot make a difference
if your voice is not heard at the ballot box.
2. Contact your elected officials! Whether you write, call, email or see them in
person. They are just regular folks just like anyone. Many of your state and
local officials have regular 9-5 jobs but take time off or spend their spare
time working as elected officials. Getting to know them and they knowing you
will only help. However always keep communications on a professional basis and
stick to the issues and never attack a politician personally. You never want to
make an enemy unless you mean too.
3. Work in a campaign!! If you want to gain access to an elected official work
in their campaign. They need tons of volunteers to help run their campaign.
Someone that can donate time to help with phones, mailings, yard signs, etc...
is more sought after than the guy with the biggest checkbook in the room.
4. Become involved in the political parties!!! It doesn't matter which one you
choose but get involved in the party of your choice. The KMA/KBA is a
nonpartisan group with supporters from both parties. They are always in need of
volunteers. Once again the biggest checkbook is NOT the most important thing.
This way you will meet and network with the movers and shakers within the party.
You may even be asked to become a party mover and shaker yourself.
5. The final step, RUN for Office. You now know how the system works from the
inside out. You have been a lobbyist/activist by writing letters, you have
worked in a campaign and learned how they operate and then met the movers and
shakers within your party that can help with other aspects of the campaign. Now
is the time to run for and get elected to office yourself. This is the only way
to insure our freedoms. To make sure freedom loving individuals get elected. Who
better exemplifies that than motorcyclists.
