It is an important issue to me, and I figured it might be important to you.
The forms to send a message to my senators and representatives only took a few minutes to fill out and click on "send".

Thanks,

Hurt while riding? - Your insurance may deny you coverage
There is a loophole in a federal law that allows insurance companies to deny payments to those injured while engaged in "risky" sports. The insurance company decides what's risky - dirtbikes, skiing, scuba diving, etc.

The AMA is trying to get legislation passed to close the loophole. Take a minute (or less) to fill out a form that will be sent out to your senators.
