#07LR01 - MRF LEADERS' REPORT - January 6, 2007

TO: The Leaders of the American Motorcyclists' Rights Movement 
FROM: Michael Kerr- MRF Vice President 

SUBJECT: MRF Leaders Report
January 7, 2007

Fellow MRF Members: 

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is aware of concern among our members and rights activists nationally over legislation by Speaker Pelosi that may adversely affect our ability to lobby and possibly erode our rights to free speech. 

We are closely monitoring the situation and we will make a statement as soon as we see the actual language in the bill in question proposed by the speaker. 

As of this writing the Government Printing Office (GPO) has released the text of H.R. 1 though H.R. 4, none of those bills happen to be the bill in question. With the exception of new rules for members of the House of Representatives, no additional information on other legislation has been released at this point in time. 

In the start of a new congress a large number of bills are introduced and there is a backlog by the GPO in releasing the text to the public. We are anticipating a considerably large release of information by the GPO early next week

The fact that Pelosi's bill was not H.R. 1 as rumor had it would be, is somewhat significant. 

Vice President of Government Relations Jeff Hennie and I discussed this matter in detail during our regularly scheduled weekly telephone debriefing Wednesday. 

Again, we will not comment until we actually see the language in the bill, but we are disturbed with what is being floated in the Washington rumor mill. 

Michael Kerr
MRF Vice President
