| |  Looking for information on how to contact my congressman to lobby for TX Law change
Talking with Quentin at EZM the other day about TX laws in regards to Motorbikes, he suggested contacting my congressman. I've never done this,...however, I am willing to give it a whirl and try whatever has been proven to work.
I am open to ANY suggestions from anyone who has had success in this area.
Any Suggestions or links to threads??

No idea who my congressman is. Is there only one or are there several? Would I just google "Texas congressmen"?
or,....is there a congressman who deals with transportation issues,....

I am in texas as well(granbury,ftworth area)....I have had no problems by the cops and I have been pulled over twice for failure to use hand turn signal and for a tail light flickering at night....They just gave me warnings to fix the problem and use my hands for turning....Other than that I have been fine....I would like to see the the laws in texas changed as well,just in case I run into a problem with a cop....
