We call for legislators and the WHite House co-sponsor and support Jim Sensenbrenner's Bill H.R. 1861 Entitled Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint Funding Act introduced on May 7th.
Sensenbrenner had this to say in a 'Dear Colleague letter' that is circulating in the House of Representatives:
'In the 112th Congress, I introduced H.R. 904, a bill to prohibit the Department of Transportation (DOT) from providing funds to state and local authorities for the purpose of creating motorcycle only checkpoints'
Similar checkpoints already in place in some states are targeting and unfairly targeting Motorcyclists and MC members as "gang members" and even placing them into criminal databases, just for owning a bike or being part of a club.
