Sandy and I have been working with Delegate Chris Jones and we will continue to do so.

I reckon we have adopted him (whether he likes it or not).

If you live in Suffolk, we could use some help.

As of now Delegate Jones is against a law that does not require helmets for all riders - he sees it as a safety issue and believes that helmets do save lives.

Delegate Jones works in the medical field (he is a pharmicist).

In dealing with him I will say that (even though he is hard to catch up with) he has taken the time to listen to ourside of the issue.

I do think he can be swayed if we can get more of his constituents to contact him and ask him to support freedom of choice for adults. In the past he did vote for the bill that would have allowed riders on roadways designated scenic byways the choice.

I am going to try to set up a meeting with him in the spring to discuss his reasons for not supporting the helmet repeal bill. If anyone is interested in helping out down here let me know.

Take care - Ride FREE

Great Hersey - I'll put y'all down for Del. Chris Jones. I know he's been a tough one to work with, and I certainly give y'all credit for sticking with it! Keep up the great work.

Anyone else close to that district that wants to help out, let Hersey know!
