Libertarians invited to join bikers, picket Executive Mansion on New Year's Day

Contributed by Brian Irving

Libertarians are welcome to join the New Year's Day Freedom Ride and Sidewalk Picketing around the Governor's Mansion January 1, 2008 from 2 to 4 p.m.

This is the first day of the vague new motorcycle helmet laws designed to entrap bikers, because the state still refuses to say how we can ensure compliance with certainty, reports ."Jan" MacKay, of the NC chapter of Bikers USA. Protest unconstitutionally vague helmet law NC GS20-140.4(a)(2) which will allow law enforcement officers to arbitrarily enforce FMVSS 218. Picketing is open to all citizens who value their liberties.

This event is sponsored by The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine, Bikers Of Lesser Tolerance (BOLT), and Bikers USA. For info either email protest@bikersusa.org or call 919-342-0403.

The Governors Highway Safety Program is located across the street, near Person and Lane, so that may be one of the ideal places to stage a few picketers, while the corner of Jones and Lane should have the majority.

Sidewalk Picketers should make their own signs, and U.S. And Gadsden Flags are welcome as well. Organizers emphasize that this is not a helmet-less ride. It is a freedom ride. Wear what you want.
