RIGHTS ORGANIZATION (MRO)

Hello Southwest Chapter.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and got to spend
time with family. Someone a lot smarter than me
once wrote time with family isnt spent, its
invested.
Its time for all members to consider serving the
Chapter by running for one of the Executive Board
positions- President, Vice-President, Secretary and
Treasurer. Its only a one-year commitment and
your Chapter needs you and your energy to get the
ball rolling again. In addition to the executive
positions, we have several appointed positions that
the new Board will be looking to fill. If youre
interested, talk to your current Board Members to
find out what the various positions are all about.
Mark your calendars for this Fall- October 7-9. Our
Chapter, along with Estero River, West Coast, Gator
Alley and Peace River are organizing a State party
which will hopefully be well-attended and will bring
some much-needed revenue into the State treasury.
I should have more details for the next Chapter
meeting.
Remember that our April Chapter meeting will be
held at Six Bends Harley-Davidson at 10:30,
Sunday, April 17. I had the opportunity to meet the
owner of Jerseys Sports Caf after our March
meeting and thanked him for having hosted our
meetings for the past several months. If youre
looking for a place to have lunch or to watch a ball
game, please consider Jerseys.
Ride free and be careful out there.

Legislative Report by Frankie Kennedy:

Urge Congress to protect motorcycle
racing. Defend your right to race!

Members of both chambers of Congress have introduced versions of a bill that would prevent the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency from regulating the conversion of street motorcycles and other motor vehicles
into competition-only racers. The EPA failed to provide proper notice of this regulation, including it in an
unrelated heavy-duty-truck regulation. The proposed rule would hurt thousands of amateur and professional
motorcycle racing enthusiasts and the millions of fans who enjoy motorcycle competition.
The bi-partisan Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 (H.R. 4715 and S. 2659, RPM Act) would
ensure that converting motor vehicles into competition-only vehicles remains legal. Street motorcycles are
considered motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act.
The RPM Act was introduced in the House by U.S. Reps. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas),
Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), Bill Posey (R-Fla.) and Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.).
The Senate version was introduced by U.S. Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Thom
Tillis (R-N.C.) and Dean Heller (R-N.C.).
The act states that it was the clear intent of Congress when passing and amending the Clean Air Act that motor
vehicles, including motorcycles, used solely for competition would be exempt from the Clean Air Acts
prohibitions against modifying emission control devices.
The American Motorcyclist Association supports the bills and their protections for amateur and professional
racing enthusiasts.
Tell your senators and representatives that you support S. 2659 and H.R. 4715. Send a prewritten email by using
the easy-to-use AMA Action Center.
The AMA is coordinating efforts with the Specialty Equipment Market Association and other racing sanctioning
bodies in support of the RPM Act. SEMA represents vehicle aftermarket manufacturers, marketers and
distributers.
Now more than ever, it is crucial that you and your riding friends become members of the AMA to help protect
our riding freedoms. More members mean more clout against the opponents of motorcycling. That support will
help fight for your rights on the road, trail and racetrack and in the halls of government. If you are a motorcycle
rider, join the AMA at americanmotorcyclist.com/membership/join.

Father Toms Message:

Who Is That? On the Banner at Bike
Nights
The Story Behind the First Messiahs
Messenger
Dear Fellow ABATE Members,
This photograph is of Sister Aimee Semple
Mc Pherson, an early 20th century evangelist.
Sister Aimee was a pioneer of women in
religion. Having experienced a profound
religious conversion at age 17, Aimee began
preaching across the United States and later,
the world. In 1918, she established her base in Los Angeles, Calif., where in 1923, the 5,300 seat Angelus
Temple was dedicated and became the center of her revival, healing and benevolent ministries. She was the first
woman to own and operate a Christian radio station. Her sermons were the first to incorporate the contemporary
communications of that day into her preaching of the Gospel. From Angelus Temple she performed an extensive
social ministry, providing hot means for more than 1.5 million people during the Great Depression. She
summarized her message into four major points known as "The Foursquare Gospel," and founded a
denomination called The Foursquare Church.
Her illustrated sermons attracted many from the entertainment industry, looking to see a show that rivaled
what Hollywood had to offer. These famous stage products drew people who would never have thought to enter
a church, and then presented them with the message of salvation. Aimee believed that the Gospel was to be
presented at every opportunity and used worldly means at her disposal to present the Gospel to as many people
as possible.
Aimee once wrote, You dont need to be an orator. What God wants are plain people with the Good News in
their hearts who are willing to go and tell it to others. The love of winning souls for Jesus Christ sets a fire
burning in ones bones. Soul winning is the most important thing in the world. All I have is on the altar for the
Lord, and while I have my life and strength, I will put my whole being into the carrying out of this Great
Commission.
Sister McPherson, as she was affectionately called by her constituents, went to be with the Lord, September 27,
1944, while conducting a revival service in Oakland, Calif. Memorial services were held on her birthday,
October 9th, at Angelus Temple.
From its beginning at Angelus Temple, The Foursquare Church has now grown to include more than 55,000
churches worldwide. There are currently more than 10 million members in 149 countries around the globe. It
presently ranks as one of the three or four most distinguished branches of Pentecostalism.
About the Photograph:
On March 15, 1925, Sister Aimee presented the sermon "Arrested for Speeding" at Angelus Temple. She wore
a policeman's uniform and used the Indian motorcycle in the picture. The Indian Motorcycle Company loaned
her the new motorcycle for the evening.
Contrary to stories being told and accounts written on several Internet sites, Sister Aimee did not ride the
motorcycle inside Angelus Temple for this sermon. However, a motorcycle was ridden in Angelus Temple for
8

this sermon, but Aimee wasn't riding it. It happened in 1937 when visiting evangelist Floyd Johnson spoke at
Angelus Temple, while Sister Aimee was in Denver. He re-created her famous sermon of twelve years earlier
and rode the motorcycle on the platform. So, Yes, a motorcycle was once ridden in Angelus Temple for the
sermon "Arrested for Speeding." But, it wasn't ridden by Aimee.
In Sister Aimees sermon, she equated people committing sin and turning their lives against the will of God, to
people speeding on the road, in violation of the law. She said that God has sent His Traffic Officers of Warning
and Judgment on motorcycles of mercy. She said, The World was arrested for speeding in Noahs day when,
in the midst of their eating, drinking, dancing and merry making, God opened the windows of Heaven and sent
the flood. The peoples were arrested for speeding at the Tower of Babel when the Lord confounded their
language and scattered them abroad. The inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were arrested for speeding
because their sin was very grievous. The Lord rained fire and brimstone out of Heaven and overthrew those
cities and all the plain. Pharaoh and his hosts were arrested for speeding through the Red Sea in pursuit of
Gods children, when the Lord took off their chariot wheels and cause the waters to cover them. Absalom was
arrested for speeding by Almighty God. What a sinner he was! He said, No one will find out. No one will
catch me! I am not afraid. One day as he fled down the Road of Sin, pursued by his guilty conscience, his
steed galloped under the thick boughs of a great oak. A breeze was blowing. The branches of the tree dipped
down. Absalom was caught up off his horse and hanged by the hair of his head and left to die. Belshazzar was
arrested for speeding at a wild drinking party with a thousand of his lords. (With) eating, drinking, making
merry... divine intervention and arrest were the farthest from his mind. Suddenly, came the shriek of the siren,
splitting the revelrous air! Perhaps they had not realized the rate at which they were speeding as they drank
from the golden vessels and desecrated the altars of the Most High. People seldom do when they ride along in
the chariots of gaiety and pride.... They turned to see the hand of the One who had arrested them. There it was-- writing, writing on the wallMENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. God hath numbered thy kingdom and
finished it. Thou are weighed in the balances and found wanting. Jonah was arrested for speeding from
Nineveh to Tarsus, little dreaming that he would be caught... Saul of Tarsus was arrested for speeding on the
road to Damascus as he haste upon his high horse of authority to destroy the Christian converts. Let me get
hold of these Christians once. I will make them renounce their faith. I will haul them before the magistrates and
bring them bound to Jerusalem! Suddenly there came a sound. Gods traffic officer rode up beside the now
trembling Saul. Piercing, blinding, searching, there shined round about him a light from Heaven: and he fell to
the earth, and heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?..... No matter how bold a man has
been before, he is usually docile when the arresting officer speaks.
Sister Aimee goes on to say, The Master still has his motor officers upon Lifes thoroughfares. The Cross of
Jesus Christ still stands at the intersection, bidding us STOP on the Road to Destruction--- LOOK to the Lamb
of God---and LISTEN that we may hear His voice and accept his great Salvation.
Sister Aimee has asked the question, ARE YOU SPEEDING PAST THE CROSS OF SALVATION?
During this sermon she said, As I ride up beside you and plead with you to stop speeding past the Cross --stop riding over and mangling the bleeding body of your Lord. See, His arms are stretched out to you this
moment. His voice invites you. Will you not say to Him, Loving Savior, I surrender now to Thee? He will
set the joy bells ringing in your heart....feeling as though you were walking on air, and your life will be a happier
one than ever you have known.
If Sister Aimee were here right now, she would probably tell you that no matter how much speeding or how
much sinning you have done, God sent his Son to pay the fine for us by taking our punishment upon His Cross.
You are not alone. For in Romans 3:23 Gods word tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of
God. And, in Romans 6:3, we are told the wages of those sins is death. Therefore, there is a gap between man
and God. Man has tried all kinds of ways to reach God. Some of those ways are doing good works, philosophy,
church membership and/or attending once in a while, and giving money to worthwhile causes. Even though
some of those things are good in themselves and indicate good character, God has provided only one way to
bridge the gap. The only way is Jesus Christ! Acts 4:12 says, Salvation is found in no one else, for there is
9

no name under which we must be saved. Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6) If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
There is a lot going on in the world right now which has caused many of us fear and panic. Wouldnt you rather
go through it with Him than without Him?
Please pray this, with your whole heart, Dear God, my heavenly Father, I confess that I am a sinner and have
been separated from You. I ask forgiveness of my sins. I repent and accept this gift of repentance and I wish to
be free in you. I confess with my mouth that your son Jesus is my Savior and died for me. I believe in my heart
that You raised Him from the dead. I receive Jesus into my heart and ask Him to become the center of my life.
I ask, in the Name of Jesus. Amen." If you have prayed this and/or wish to talk, call us at 239-267-8641
Blessings,

PS. Messiahs Messengers was in existence six years before we knew that the founder of our Foursquare
movement, had used a motorcycle to reach souls for the Lord. As such, we will have to give her the title of the
first Messiahs Messenger and present her with our colors and a patch posthumously!
