MRF Young Activist Scholarship Fund Biker "Freedom Fighting" activists have recognized for some time that our membership and leaders are aging, and that there is a need to encourage younger people to become involved in motorcyclists' rights. To that end, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation has created a scholarship fund to recognize deserving candidates who are a minimum of 18 years old and not over 30 years of age who otherwise may not be able to attend the MRF's Meeting of the Minds conference.

ABATE PAC 2010 General Election Voter's Guide - PDF
If you have read the “voter’s guide” Aug Issue ABATE of IL News, on pages 12-14, you probably wonder how we can endorse both candidates in the 25th state senate race where incumbent Chris Lauzen (A) is challenged by Leslie Juby (C-) or why we apparently do not endorse this year’s representative of the year Randy Ramey (A+) in the 55th representative district. This was a publishing error, be assured that A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois stands by its friends and will work tirelessly to support them in this year’s election campaigns.
The State Office will be closed August 30th and 31st; September 3rd and September 7th - 10th.
