There, plain and simple!<br /><br />Bikes going through red lights and drivers going over the speed limit have one thing in common: they are both moving violations that <i>everyone</i> does but that the police choose to hardly enforce at all.mikewebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534302647612107660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774197.post-42258492316273253382009-07-30T08:59:02.274-05:002009-07-30T08:59:02.274-05:00Hello

The Trek to Re-Energize America is a bike trip to Washington D.C. to demand real action on climate change. Riders will depart for D.C. from all across the country, leaving from their home states and sweeping up media attention and grassroots support as they go. Upon arrival in D.C. the riders will rally and lobby for action on current legislation by asking their representatives to be leaders in the fight against climate change. A massive number of organized passionate people who have biked across the United States for something they believe strongly in will make for a statement that politicians and media will be unable to ignore.<BR/>I was hoping that you would be willing to put up a link or banner for the Trek on your blog to help us spread the word and continue to engage more people across the country. The website is www.TrektoReEnergize.org I can send you a banner if you'd like to put one up.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks, cheers,<BR/>Sarah Judkins<BR/>s.judkins@trektoreenergize.orgosjudkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364859244774384073noreply@blogger.com
