The Kids Just Want to Ride Act is set to be introduced next week

by Representative Denny Rehberg (MT) in the

U.S. House of Representatives.The American Motorcyclist

Association (AMA) strongly supports the Kids Just Want

to Ride Act and is urging everyone to call their Representative

tobecome an original cosponsor.

The Act is a legislative exemption for youth-model motorcycles and

ATVs from the lead provisions in the Consumer Product Safety

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), known as the Lead Law.

The CPSIA effectively banned the sale of small displacement recreational

vehicles due to overly restrictive lead content standards.

Rehberg recently circulated a "Dear Colleague" encouraging other

representatives to become original cosponsors. The AMA needs

you and everyone you know that is concerned with the future of youth

riding to call your Representative and ask them to cosponsor the Kids

Just Want to Ride Act.

To call your Representative, click on "Take Action" to insert your

zip code in the "Call Action" box to get your Representative's phone

number. Or, you can call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-225-3121

and ask for your Representative by name.

Call your Representative now and let them know you would like to

see them cosponsor the Kids Just Want to Ride Act.
