The AMA Community Council program
Since 1924, the American Motorcyclist Association has represented what's best about motorcycling in America. Today, our volunteers across the nation represent what's best about the AMA. Every day, through dozens of programs, our volunteers make important contributions to our Association and the 4 million Americans who ride motorcycles. You can help, too, through AMA Community Councils.
With all the legislation, issues and causes in motorcycling today, grassroots lobbying just makes sense. Without the support of our members and collaborations with similar groups, our ability to influence lawmakers and shape public policy would not be as strong.
A grassroots program allows you to get involved in the political process, establish relationships with your elected officials, and influence legislation and regulatory laws to your benefit. It’s a win-win situation for you and the Association, with all motorcyclists enjoying our legislative and governmental successes.
The AMA Community Council is your direct link to the AMA’s Government Relations Department. We urge you to participate in our many programs designed specifically for activists such as yourself, and to take full advantage of our vast resources of materials. With your help, we will be successful in defending our freedoms today, and for generations to come.
Just as our Founding Fathers stood ready to defend their freedoms at a moments notice, AMA members can now come together in their own communities and lead the fight for our rights at every level of government.
That's the spirit behind the AMA Community Councils!
The AMA, through it’s Community Councils, will work to see that the influence of the AMA reaches into every city and county across the country. Our message will be clear: We will fight every step of the way -- from Main Street to Capitol Hill to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -- to ensure that our rights remain intact.
For Legislative & Political Action . . .
As an AMA Community Council representative in your community, we're
counting on you to lead the charge against restrictive legislation and push
for laws that will strengthen our rights before your city council, county
zoning board, state legislature, local land-use agencies and the U.S. Congress.
Working together, we can curb these assaults on our rights.
For Community Awareness and Education . . .
The AMA has several programs designed to help us achieve our goals.
All these programs reach well beyond the motorcycling community and have
produced impressive results. AMA Community Councils will play a pivotal
role in expanding the size and scope of these programs. For example, the
Association website, AMADirectlink, can create a web link to your AMA Community
Council's web page.
For Membership . . .
In addition to increasing our presence in the political and legislative
arena, the AMA is moving full steam ahead in our quest to add new members
to our ranks. Through local membership drives, rides and events, AMA Community
Councils will help move the Association toward our ultimate goal of counting
all of the nation's 4 million motorcyclists as AMA members.
