Haslett, MI - The Friends of Snowmobiling Political Action Committee (FOSPAC) was initiated by the snowmobile community in response to our desire to continue the family snowmobiling tradition we have created here in the United States. Snowmobiling access is consistently under attack and demonized by members of the environmental and anti-freedom groups across the country.
An important ingredient in keeping our recreation of choice vibrant is to participate in the U.S. political system. Our political system allows and requests all Americans to participate actively in their government and in the selection of those individuals whom represent our beliefs and philosophies in Washington DC. Our federal elected Representatives and Senators should be our voice in Washington DC when policies are introduced that impact on our lives. Those same federal elected officials have oversight responsibilities on the various agencies that have an impact on snowmobiling. Those agencies include but are not limited to: Department of the Interior, National Park Service, the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, etc.
The Friends of Snowmobiling Political Action Committee serves as a vehicle enabling us to contribute personal funds in a collective nature to support federal political candidates. All of the funds collected are then presented to candidates that presently serve in the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate or those who wish to serve in that capacity and are "Friends of Snowmobiling." FOSPAC supports individuals who share our values and support responsible recreational access and freedom to enjoy our public lands.
In many ways, our freedoms are being attacked and this is an important time to challenge those that would take away your freedom. We encourage you to donate any amount you can to FOSPAC and be rest assured the money will be assimilated with other FOSPAC contributions and be put to good use supporting federal candidates who support our freedoms and enjoyment of the great outdoors on our public lands.
The 2012 elections will be very important and your participation in FOSPAC will be helpful. Please fill out the form below and send it back with your contribution to:
