Answer 1

Contact their offices and make an appointment, then show up in force. If you can get say 100 people to drive their ATVs on the state capitol all at the same time, you might even get media attention (be sure to file for a parade permit with Albany's city council). For a county administrator, 25 or 30 people standing in the office will show them you are serious. If that doesn't work, have everybody call and make appointments one after the other until they get the idea you are not going to leave them alone until they do something for you.

If that fails, find somebody within your group who would make a great candidate for legislature, or better yet two or three. Work the campaigns and get them in office. 2 million ATV owners might be a small percentage of the state's total population, so be prepared to stand on other issues as well.

Answer 2

You obviously don't understand what you're talking about or even what you read. No point trying to explain to you, suffice it to say that no, nobody will take the guns from Americans, even if those treaties are signed. But you just want a reason to hate Obama and will probably ignore this little fact, right.

Answer 3

Progress is made by voicing your opinion.
Make some noise.
Make it where people can here it- not on the deaf and biased world of the internet.
Go out, and say what you mean.
