Here is some detailed information about Oregon CLOUT that we hope will get you and your motorized recreational friends to participate in the system:
Why have CLOUT?
Are you tired of:
- failing to get your ATV tag fees and off road gas tax money used On-The-Ground?
- having public land and water riding areas closed to motorized use?
- of legislative and agency proposals that restrict your motorized recreational opportunities?
- of not having enough places to ride while public land and water lies unused all around you?
- more and more restrictions being placed on the use of your motorized vehicle in Oregon?
CLOUT is here to change that and give YOU a strong voice in Salem!
Your time is valuable. We know that many people do not have the time to review everything that is happening in Salem every day the Legislature is in session and more importantly, research and respond to your State Legislators to keep them informed of your position on important issues affecting motorized recreation. CLOUT does 98% of this for you!
What is CLOUT? It is the Constituent Legislative Online User Target software system supporting your motorized recreational organizations (4X4, ATV, PWC, Snowmobile & M/C) and users in Oregon.
What does CLOUT do? It notifies specific people via email when it is time to contact their legislator(s). Those legislators are going to be involved in hearing something to do with any issue that affects motorized recreation in the State of OR within the next few days. This system provides everything you need to send a personal message to your legislators. This is the only input that really counts in Salem!
How much of my time does CLOUT take? Very little! You can send a personal message to your legislator(s) in less than 5 minutes if you are notified that your input is needed.
How often will I get email from CLOUT? You will only receive email from CLOUT when there is a specific Oregon motorized recreation related issue that needs your personal involvement. 95% of CLOUT alerts occur only while the OR State Legislature is in session.
Who runs the Oregon CLOUT system? A very dedicated group of volunteers that are 100% PRO Motorized Recreation operate the Oregon Clout system. The OMRA officers www.omraoffroad.org have spearheaded this effort and are incorporating key personnel from every type of motorized recreation into the CLOUT steering committee which operates online thereby including motorized recreational leaders throughout the entire State of Oregon.
How can I help with the effort to build CLOUT in Oregon? Get yourself and your club’s/organization’s/riding buddy’s member lists input into the CLOUT system NOW! Email oregonclout@omraoffroad.org to receive a MS Excel template that your list of OHV Positive people can be exported into for easy entry into the CLOUT system.
Will my email address be distributed to others? No! Your email address will only be used by the OHV Positive organizations for communication with you regarding motorized recreation issues.
Over 80,000 ATV tags are sold in Oregon each year! Imagine how much CLOUT the motorized
recreational users will have when even 25% of those people are in the CLOUT system!!!!!
Do YOUR part!
We need CLOUT in Salem!
