​

Hello again this month fellow ABATE members. I am going to keep the message short and sweet again this month. You HAVE to contact me. Get copies of our Right to Repair Survey. It only takes businesses/shops 3 to 5 minutes to complete. Get them filled out and sent into the office. PLEASE do this for yourself and the people you know. The opportunity to make a difference is NOW. The ball is rolling. Be a part of the solution and make a difference. We have a great opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Many people are still unaware of how their freedoms are slowly being erased. We all had many choices for repairing almost anything we owned as young adults. Now you wait 2 weeks, a month or more to get any type of yard maintenance equipment repaired. Getting almost anything that breaks fixed is becoming harder. We have momentum to change this scenario. A major agriculture equipment manufacturer has just lost a second lawsuit related to restricting the ability of an individual to repair machines and equipment they own. The latest one cost them 99 million dollars!

 

On another note, Illegally operating in autonomous mode, vehicles are killing motorcyclists, crashing into emergency vehicles, and creating many other unsafe situations. This could happen to you or your loved ones unless WE do something about it. You can make a difference. Help us, Help you. Let's do something positive for ourselves and our fellow citizens. 

 

Mike
