WE NEED EVERYONES HELP ON THIS CALL TO ACTION!!!
There are some pieces of legislature we need fellow snowmobilers to show support on to help our sport become safer, increase support and add benefits for its growth
In the time it takes to watch a couple Tik Tok videos YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
All you need to do is send an email. Attached below is the list of the people to send it too.
PAST years of effort will not be successful unless you as citizens and voters, exercise YOUR rights to get involved.
HERE IS ALL YOU NEED TO DO!!!
First…… Cut/paste the email addresses of the appropriate Representative and Senator email addresses from your home town.
**** If your town isn’t listed you can contact me at nvrplay2ty@yahoo.com and tell me your home town and I will send you your reps link****
Or if your If your not part of BGL you can contact your club as they have all the same info….
Then In the “Cc” bar, please add the following address: SAMLegislative@gmail.com
In the body of the email start with the following:
Your name
Your town
Your club
How long have you been a member of SAM?
Ask that the addressed Legislator to support their District’s snowmobilers by asking Senate Ways and Means Chairman Michael Rodrigues to favorably report out S538, “An Act Promoting Snowmobiling Sustainability”
SECOND…… Just copy and paste this portion to explain what the bill does:
This bill includes a number of provisions that would help snowmobiling remain a part of life for me and my club, and would overall strengthen the sport across Massachusetts. Other states have a similar “free snowmobile weekend” to the one proposed, and it has helped bring tourists and their dollars into our community. Also, the wheeled vehicle fines will make it less likely that the trails our members work so hard on to open, groom, and maintain will be damaged. S538 will provide an opportunity for representation on the DCR Stewardship Committee. SAM members are active volunteers, and we also work very hard to maintain good connections with regulators and state officials. A seat at that table recognizes the importance of our membership, and will help us be a stronger voice on DCR’s policies. Additionally, eligibility for the 61B recreational land tax classification will not only promote the sport but benefit local landowners and taxpayers.
Third ……. Add a personal note… Explain why snowmobiling is important to you, and why passing these measures are important to you!
This will show that YOUR NOT A ROBOT!!! And you’re a VOTER!!!
Then add a Thank the Legislators for their consideration, and invite them out to go snowmobiling some time! These are your links to State Government…USE THEM!
If you have any questions you can also reach our legislative contact directly at jwentworth@peacefieldstrategies.com
Please try to complete your outreach by Monday, February 28, 2022. Feel free to share any feedback you receive.
