Congressmen Filner, Kirk, Kuhl, Wamp and Walberg to attend MRF press
conference

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation would like to announce that several
members of the United States Congress will be attending our scheduled
press conference in Washington on November 15.

The following congressman have committed to attending:

Congressman Bob Filner (CA-51st) Chairman, House Committee on Veterans
Affairs

Congressman Mark Kirk (IL-10th) Committee on Appropriations

Congressman Randy Kuhl (NY-29th) Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure

Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-7th) Committee on Education and Labor

Congressman Zack Wamp (TN-3rd) Committee on Appropriations

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is extremely pleased to have this
distinguished group of statesmen join us in discussing with the nation's
press the shortcomings of the National Transportation Safety Board's
(NTSB) recommendations on motorcycle safety of September 11, 2007.

The press conference will be held on the United States Capitol grounds in
Washington DC. The exact location is the Cannon House Office Building,
Room 121. Starting time is 9:15 am EST.

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation will also be discussing our efforts to
seek congressional support to stop the NTSB from using taxpayer dollars to
pressure states into enacting mandatory helmet laws. In addition we will
be announcing to the press that we will be presenting a formal letter to
the NTSB asking them to reconsider their recommendations that states enact
mandatory helmet laws for motorcycle riders.

Many State Motorcyclist Rights Organization members are in Washington this
week to lobby their own congressional delegations, in addition to
attending the conference.

All motorcyclists are invited to attend this event. In addition the MRF is
extending an invitation to all concerned Americans.

Michael Kerr

MRF Vice President
