ABATE stands for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments. Our philosophy is to defend liberty; while we do not oppose safety devices we oppose laws that mandate the usage of devices.

From:     Renee McWhorter

Good Evening Folks,
So nice to catch you all at one time to pass this important information to you.Wiggy
Most of you are aware of the medical issues Wiggy has faced over the years and medical bills have taken their toll on him financially, as we are all aware the cost of just one surgery.
I feel its time we step up and do what we can for him. He has dedicated his life and time for many, many years to ABATE.. Its very important we put petty differences aside and make this a great event and help our brother.

** there has been a misprint on the Hell Hole ABATE web site...The time is INCORRECT...Times for the event have not been set.  But we are looking at 11:00am to start poker run***

Please pass the following information to your local chapters, as I cannot email every one. THANKS!!!

Referring to the City of Myrtle Beach losing their case over the unconstitutional helmet law, "The ruling should remind the Legislature to extend the state requirement for motorcycle helmets to all bikers, not just those under 21. Riding without a helmet is a safety hazard for all motorcyclists."

Right, and they know all about motorcycle safety.  How about some actual facts?  Maybe they should read this first before talking about things they know nothing about: Helmet Law Facts

Here is their ignorant article:
