OUTNUMBERED 500 to 1
We are losing our access to public lands at an alarming rate.
Why is this happening? Because our pro-access organizations are WAY under funded and their membership numbers are abysmal. The Sierra Club can walk into a senator's office and say they represent 2.4 MILLION people....our own organizations can't do that. And that gives us way less voice where it matters: with our legislators who only think about potential votes.
Despite there being over 53 million OHV enthusiasts in the USA, the Sierra Club's membership base outnumbers us by about 500-1. While our organizations HAVE saved trails and are fighting tooth and nail for every inch of trail, they need YOUR HELP.
Take a quick second to add up how much money you have wrapped up in your rig.
Now add in all the $$ spent in gas, registration, smog, camping gear etc. that you had to pay for just to go wheeling.
Keeping that total dollar figure in your head: is $45 a year for Cal4 Wheel or $29 a year for the Blue Ribbon Coalition REALLY that much?
HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING YOU TO DO RIGHT NOW:
1. Pick BRC as your pro-access organization
BRC is one of the nationwide organizations, filled with people who are pro-access for not just 4x4's but dirt bikes, snowmobiles, watersports etc.
Individual Supporter 1 year - $20, 2 year - $40.
Individual Member 1 year - $30, 2 Year - $60.
Business/Club/Organization basic member - $100.
Business/Club/Organization premium member - $250.

2. SIGN UP (or renew) AND TELL THEM TODD SENT YOU.
Do it now. I am not getting ANYTHING in return for this, they don't even know I am doing this, but I would like to see if we can make a measurable difference with this membership drive.
3. POST UP ON FACEBOOK AND SHARE IT.

I did not write the basis of this information.
My buddy Kurt over on another forum wrote it.
I have borrowed it, and made small changes to it with his permission.
So people understand the difference between the two individual membership levels.
Individual Supporter 1 year - $20, 2 year - $40. No magazine is mailed to your address on file.
The magazine information is sent to you via an email as a downloadable link, or to the flipzine.
Individual Member 1 year - $30, 2 Year - $60.
You get the magazine mailed to your house.
You also get access to a few member benefits provided by supporting businesses.
If you signup, please let me know, and if you have any issues with getting your magazine or other items from our office, I will help correct the issue.
We publish the magazine on a quarterly basis.
Here is a link to the current magazines in electronic format.
