From The Declaration of Independence
(for more info click on links to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Govnment, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

- Thomas Jefferson
   American Patriot

Note From Webmaster Mike

With your help we are going to make 2007 the most politically active year yet in NNVCOC history. With help of the thousands of Bikers / Motorcyclists and Patriots living in Northern Nevada.

I opened the page with a few paragraphs from the Declaration of Independence, the founding document of our great nation, because we need to remember what our roots are, to remember why we think we are free, to remember the sacrifices made by those who names are famous and those every-day citizens  who deeds are legendary. Freedom is Risky and Liberty is Dangerous! Not in our lifetimes has liberty and freedom been in such peril, not only from hostile foreign governments and terrorists -but - from our own hands. Many citizens and legislators have sacrificed this very freedom on the unholy altar of "Safety". Politicians are spending our national treasure on removing Liberty from Our Republic. The Patriot Act I & II are prime example of how fear is used to increase the power of the government over its citizens - with little to no effect on the foreign terrorists or accountability to the rightful heirs to political power - WE THE PEOPLE.

No matter what political party you belong to; do not trust your liberty to them. It is up to each and every one of us to be vigilant and provide oversight to OUR Representatives. They were elected by us and are in Carson City and Washington DC to be OUR VOICE -not our rulers. I invite everyone reading this to contact me, to send in links articles our their own 2-cents to me and I will post it. I do not expect you to agree with me, But I expect that we can come together and help create the kind of country and state that we could all be proud to be citizens of.

Thanks - Crunch (aka Webmaster Mike)

Law Updates



Fellow Freedom Fighters we have sad news to report.

SB49 was never allowed to be voted on. Your rights to be represented have been thrown out the window because the chair of the transportation committee believes that it is his duty to lord over the citizens of this state and subvert the democratic process by not letting our bill to be heard and debated on the floor and given a vote. We need to unite with all freedom loving citizens of Nevada and vote these people out of office. In the past the Chairman from Las Vegas - Dennis Nolan has stated to our Legislative Representative, that he could not in good consciousness let this bill out of committee as he has seen the injuries caused during his time as a paramedic.

Please e-mail and call, write handwritten mail, send faxes and let these people know you want a vote. That is is their duty to represent not overlord! Ask them to explain why they oppose the will of the people and what it would take to change their minds.

Below are links to every member of the Transportation and Homeland Security Committee.

Regular meetings in Room 2149 at 3:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

 


Patriot Act



A Message from our Founder, Richard M. Lester

(reprinted from the National AIM-NCOM website)

H.R. 1279 ON THE FAST TRACK-WE MUST ACT NOW

It is critical that we get these letters that we have been passing out at our Confederation of Clubs meetings signed and sent to your Senator and Congress Members.

While we have been pushing these letters to Senate and Congress regarding all these bills that are taking our rights away as American Citizens, Congress has managed to sneak in a new bill, which we have talked about at the meetings. The bill is H.R. 1279, which is related to S. 155, and H.R. 970, which is all Gang, related bills. HR. 1279 was introduced on March 14, 2005 by Representative Randy J. Forbes: this bill has made it further under the chain of command then any other Gang Bill, and as you all know that if you ride in a group of three or more you are considered a Gang. We all have to get our letters in to Senate and Congress to get this bill stopped, it is moving so fast we will have to work quickly. A Mark-up session was held on April 13, 2005, the views of both sides are studied in detail and at the conclusion a vote is taken to determine the action of the subcommittee. It may decide to report the bill favorable to the full committee, with or without amendment, or favorable, or without recommendation. The subcommittee may also suggest that the committee “table” it or postpone action indefinitely. Each member of the subcommittee, regardless of party affiliation, has one vote. Proxy voting is no longer permitted in House committees. It was ordered to be reported amended on April 20, 2005, to a full committee meeting. Final committee action is a full committee meeting; reports on bills may be made by subcommittees. Bills are read for amendment in committees by sections and members may offer germane amendments.

Committee’s amendments are only proposals to change the bill as introduced and are subject to acceptance or rejection by the house itself. A vote of committee members is taken to determine whether the full committee will report the bill favorably, adversely, or without recommendation. As you can see time is of the essence, we are going to have to move fast on the bill as it is on the fast track, this bill has passed further through all the committees and subcommittees than any other Gang Bill, while we set idly by and let it happen without evening knowing it. As American Citizens our rights are being stripped from us and we don’t even know it. As American Citizens we must all stand together and let the government hear our voices, as we are the voices for this country and we have that right to be heard. We are Not Gangs, we are men and women from all walks of life that enjoy the freedom of riding our bikes, enjoying the company of other fellow riders, and enjoy life and they are trying to take that away from us. What’s next, they go after our children for hanging out with friends, and riding their Bicycles. What is this country coming to, that they can tell us we can’t ride in a group of three or more or if we do we are a Gang, or they will deicide who you can associate with. I thought we lived in the Land of the FREE, which is no longer. The government is trying to dictate our lives and that is not being FREE. What happened to FREEDOM of CHOICE?

Status of Bill H.R. 1279 is as follows:


March 14, 2005 - Introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
April 04, 2005 - Referred to Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.
April 05, 2005 - Subcommittee Hearings Held
April 12, 2005 - Subcommittee Consideration and Mark-up Session held.
April 12, 2005 - Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Yeas and Nays: 5-3
April 13, 2005 - Committee Consideration and Mark-up Session Held.
April 20, 2005 - Ordered to be reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays; 16-11


EPA



Do you know about the big rules change that took effect last year?
Did you know that it is now illegal for home mechanics to work on their own bikes, and it is illegal for hundreds of small business owners in Nevada to customize even small things like tire size, or a custom air filter under the New EPA ruling?

Veterans'
Issues


Gathering of Eagles


On March 17, 2007 a group of anti-war protestors are planning to march  to the Pentagon from Washington, D.C. The March 17th anti-war demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at 12 noon in Washington, D.C. and march to the Pentagon. In order to ensure that the Wall and other Memorials in the general area are not defaced, like what happened at the anti-war demonstration at the U.S. Capitol on January 27th, we must rally as many people as we can to meet at the Wall no later than 8:00 AM on the 17th. This memorial, means the world to many of us, and it must be protected. We cannot allow the Cindy Sheehans and Jane Fondas to dishonor the memory of our Fallen Brothers before beginning their trek to betray and dishonor our serving sons.
