Hawkes Bay protests

[MSTRS:Me]

I don't actually care what their reasons are. High level support (without strings...we'll see) is to be grabbed with both hands.

I wonder is Labour are doing this to try to test how much support we have in the general public?

They might all be closet bikers...

I signed it tonight.

So did plenty of others at the Ulysses meeting.

As I see it we need all the help we can get, no matter where it comes from.

[P38]

Friendly and placid. Sadly I think the time for this is over. I recon we need to up the game a fraction. More noise, more in your face.

You may be right.....

But at the end of the day we need more support than just from other motorcyclists.

We need the support of the general public.

Getting in peoples face may not be the right way to achieve this.

Think how you would react if someone got in your face and made some noise.

I am not thinking we should be in Joe Publics face. Talking about our politicians.

This is it, this letter arrived today to my Motorcycle club I have taken there name out. It came from the Labour party's Hon Rick Barker & has to be returned by 15 February 2010. Please print out & distribute it widely to family, friends, bikers, workmates etc & return to Parliament.

That is real good. Better than it appears.

Our continuous protests are being heard by others (incl those seeking a platform to campaign for popular votes) Our disquiet is contagious.

Keep up the protests and more platform seekers will rally to our aid like the selfless Samaritans that they are

We gonna win this battle of wills with the Govt

Actually, doing just that might be a good idea. Does anyone remember the set up we had for collecting sigs for the cheesecutter petition? What about we do that again. Thoughts?

[Taserdar]

any shops or somewhere I can go lay my sig to that petition in Napier?

would like to let others know also via word of mouth .. no printer here so cant do from home.

[MSTRS:Me]

I'll drop some off to FiveStar.

[wickle]

My printer isso if MSTR's would like to print one and next time he's passing drop it in ,, I'll put it on the counter at work!

Thanks to all who came to the lunch today. I, for one, felt like we were being taken seriously, and that we have friends in high places. And most importantly, there is no requirement to horse-trade...
I have sent Nash a thank you from us.

Hi Stuart.
Just a quick thank you from me on our behalf. I found the 'meeting' very valuable, and I trust you and Phil got at least as much out of it as we did. I have taken on board Phil's advice about continuing with reasonable protests. However, I can't, and don't, speak for all when it comes to this side of things, so who knows where things will go? I suspect that other groups of affected people are finally getting the message, so perhaps joint protests will be the order of the day?
Thanks again
Regards

How did I miss that?

EDIT: Done a search and still can't find any mentioning. Clearly I am not in the crowd...

I agree....

Any bloody Politician who supports this ridculious rourt deserves to get the big serve up.......

But at the same time we need to gather all the support we can get.
Pissing off Joe Public wont achieve this.

I wounder if Craig Foss would come out to play if a few dozen bikers turned up at his house early one morning, with their engines quietly idling , just sitting watching, saying nothing, maybe holding a sign that says

Who's Next?

Come Next Election

You are !!!!
