National Motorized Recreation Pac Launched To Protect And Promote Responsible OHV Recreation On Federal Lands

CC | September 2, 2011

A national political action committee (PAC) dedicated exclusively to promoting and protecting responsible off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation was launched earlier today. The formal and historic announcement of The Trail PAC (TPAC) comes just in time for the official Labor Day Weekend kickoff of the 2012 election cycle.

Don Amador, founder of TPAC, states, The Trail Political Action Committee was founded as the first national non-partisan political action committee dedicated solely to championing responsible off-highway vehicle recreation on designated roads, trails, and areas on public lands through the electoral and legislative processes.

Amador continues, “TPAC believes that ‘all land-use decisions are political decisions.’ Our strategic goal is simple. TPAC will contribute to pro-access politicians who will support OHV recreation friendly legislation and oppose anti-access proposals and agency overregulation.

“TPAC will actively represent the interests of OHV recreationists by promoting and supporting legislators and legislation that are critical to the long-term viability of our recreational activities. TPAC will respect the donations made by OHV recreationists and aggressively work to defeat legislators and legislation that undermines our right to access public lands in a responsible manner,” Amador concludes.
