Vicki,
I am all for the fight, but it is really depressing to read that the judge is handed a biological study in our favor and just decides to disagree for no other reason than she just doesn't like the idea. We need to find out how we can change the laws and legislation so that we have some say in these matters. What initiatives, if any are there for us to vote on? Who can we write to that can make a difference. What about the corruption that is abusing all of our fees that are being paid? Everyone I know is proud to pay their annual fees because they think the money is being used for Glamis or whatever location. I despise the fact that I am paying money only to have it spent somewhere else. How to we get some kind of accountability for how our fees are spent?
Also, it might be worth while to see how the ASA and others can align themselves with the AMA. They were fighting for the right to ride in Riverside County, which was recently defeated. The ASA is a powerful group and they weren't able to stop it on their own either.
