FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


OFF-ROADERS GET OWN CAMPAIGN COALITION

New “Off-Roader Coalition” formed to create statewide California organization of off-road volunteers to make a difference in November’s elections

EL CAJON, CA, July 29, 2004 – The California state Bush/Cheney 2004 campaign recently announced the formation of a new statewide coalition working to ensure the re-election of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

The coalition, named the “Off-Roader Coalition,” joins several other coalitions consisting of members of special interest groups, such as Medical/Dental, Latino, Education etc. The Off-Roader Coalition is composed of volunteers dedicated to protecting the future of off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation. Named as chairman of the new coalition is Jim McGarvie, long-time off-roader and OHV activist.

“We have long felt that if we could just get the majority of off-roaders to vote, we could have a powerful impact upon the outcome of important elections,” said McGarvie. “This is our opportunity to do just that.” He points out that the re-election of Bush/Cheney is critical to continuing the favorable momentum started during their first term.

The same statewide organization will also be used to help the campaign of Bill Jones for U.S. Senate, and is an official Jones coalition. McGarvie said, “Also vital to the future of OHV recreation throughout the state is the defeat of Barbara Boxer by Bill Jones. Boxer authored a bill in the Senate which, if passed, would create an additional 2.5 million acres of wilderness in California, effectively shutting out hundreds of thousands of citizens by banning mechanical access of any kind.” Heading up the Off-Roader Coalition for Jones is McGarvie’s wife, Janette McGarvie.

Look for the Off-Roader Coalition booth at major OHV events this fall such as the Sand Sport Super Show, the Off Road Expo in Pomona and the National Motocross at Glen Helen.

OHV enthusiasts interested in helping with this year’s campaigns in their area of the state should contact Jim or Jan McGarvie directly at Jim@McGarvie.us or 619.561.3877.
