Helmet laws and the 10th Amendment

My wife and I enjoy riding our motorcycle. I am an avid fan of the hitting the open road. I choose to wear a helmet when I ride and that’s a salient point…I CHOOSE, not a government bureaucrat who can’t tell the difference between a sport bike or a touring motorcycle – not a politician who’s never ridden a motorcycle before, but me. And that’s the way it should be.

I support motorcycle safety programs like those offered by ABATE and other motorcycle clubs and associations to encourage safe and fun driving.

America is the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’ and Wisconsin is the birthplace of Harley Davidson. Here, of all places, we should stand firmly for freedom and liberty, and should allow a person to choose whether they will wear a helmet or not.
