Why are PACs necessary?
It would be nice to think that the best ideas–like bicycling as a solution to obesity, road congestion and air pollution–would automatically rise to the top. But we live in a country of 310 million people where there are countless different perspectives on just about every issue. The bike industry is just one of about 1,000 different types of businesses working to influence federal transportation policy and funding decisions. This group includes road builders, auto manufacturers, transit interests, and a variety of other well-organized, well-funded organizations. In this swirl of ideas, it’s not surprising that members of Congress listen first to the people they know and the people who support them. BikesPAC moves bicycling into this select group and gives us the opportunity to make our case, face to face. PAC funding will never buy the outcome–and that’s a good thing–but it will give us a chance to be heard.
