 ---A CALL TO ARMS--- Wanted:  Any patriot willing   
to show support for the Constitution.
Well our government officials are at it again.  Because of political correctness, they have taken away our right to free speech.  To save energy, they have taken away your right to choose what kind of light bulbs you want to use.  They will continue to try to force area motorcyclists to wear
helmets, thus their freedom of choice.  And now they
  want to take away your right to peacefully demonstrate. 
  That's right!  Moline Police Chief Gary Francque made comments recently that
  he didn't want to support the Bi-State Motorcycle Awareness Ride or even
  provide -paid- officers to block off streets.  He doesn't want to have the public
  inconvenienced by having to wait on the parade.  It is my belief that the
  inconvenience is exactly what the Awareness Ride "PARADE" is for.  To bring
  attention to the public that it's riding season and they need to get off their cell
  phones and start watching for motorcycles, bikers, joggers any legal means of
  transportation allowed on the streets.  Far to many innocent people are hit by
  drivers claiming "they didn't see the victim."

  What can you do?  Tuesday April 1st you can join others at the Moline City Hall
  at 6:45pm and attend the City Council meeting.  Be there in person and watch
  Moline's fathers take away another one of your Constitutional rights.  We need
  to take a stand and say enough is enough.
  To read more about this local issue please go to this address and type in
  Awareness Ride.

  I would like to thank everyone who attended the Moline City Council meeting
  Tuesday April first.  Your show of support was heart warming.  I would also like
  to thank the Moline City Council for waking up and allowing the 24th Annual
  Bi-State Awareness Ride to happen!   I hope East Moline and Rock Island do
  the same.

  OK, Saturday May 3rd, rain or shine plan on attending the 24th Annual Bi-State
  Awareness Ride at the Rock Island County Fairgrounds in East Moline, IL.
  Tire kicking and late registrations starts at 11am, Parade at 1pm. 
  Hope to see you there.

class.
She called on him and said, "Davie! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?"

Little
Davie quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, HBO and the Cartoon Network!"
