Sample Letter #1

Dear Legislator:

Please support the children, bring S 2392 to the floor and YES.

As you know, S 2392 creates an exception to the age requirement for powerboat operation conducted during authorized races.

S 2392 will once again allow our children to participate in legally sanctioned New Jersey regattas. The children drive small, soapbox derby like boats powered by a 15 horsepower outboard Johnson or Mercury motor.

All kids who participate in outboard regattas are well protected from physical injury by wearing safety equipment as helmets, life jackets, gloves, shoes and protective clothing.

Also, all regattas are insured, both for property and medical, have medical professionals on site and are nationally sanctioned by the American Powerboat Association, American Outboard Federation or National Boat Racing Association.

Please give the children a chance. Stand with the children, bring S 2392 to the floor and vote yes.

Sample Letter #2

Dear Legislator:

Please support our kids � Bring S 2392 to the floor and vote YES.

As you know, S 2392 creates an exception to the age requirement for powerboat operation conducted during authorized races.

S 2392 will help keep our kids off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol by allowing them to participate in legally sanctioned regattas in New Jersey.

The boats the kids use are safe and subject to inspection before each race. The boats are shorter than nine feet long and powered by a small 15 horsepower outboard fishing motor such as a Johnson or Mercury fitted with a performance propeller.

Too many children nowadays are abusing drugs and alcohol, or engaging in other illicit activities. I feel S 2392 will help keep our children off the streets. Our kids will have the opportunity to see positive role models by being able to spend quality time with their fathers, mothers, family members and other respected adults. These role models will help them learn life skills such as sportsmanship, respect for others, teamwork, woodworking skills and small engine repair.

Please help us keep our kids off the streets. Stand our kids, bring S 2392 to the floor and vote yes.

Call to Action Support !

Support sent. These Kids are the future of our Country and the Sport of Boat Racing. Myself as many of you, wish we were 9 years old again. The impact the Boat Racing had on my life, can't be put into words. All of you involved know what I am talking about. "GIVE THESE KIDS THE CHANCE OF THE SAME LIFE EXPERIENCE WE HAD." Show your support !

Dear Legislator:

Please support our kids � Bring S 2392 to the floor and vote YES.

As you know, S 2392 creates an exception to the age requirement for powerboat
operation conducted during authorized races.
By allowing them to participate in legally sanctioned regattas in New Jersey.

The boats the kids use are safe and subject to inspection before each race. The
boats are shorter than nine feet long and powered by a small 15 horsepower
outboard fishing motor such as a Johnson or Mercury fitted with a performance
propeller.

I myself, started racing as a 9 year old in 1963 in Region 1. My Parents, God Bless them, knew that getting
myself and my older Brother into the sport of Boat Racing would keep us off the street corners.
and activities that we would have suffered from later in life.
It worked. We were never in trouble. We were too busy with Family and the sport. The
experience of traveling each week-end, " WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY " was the best quality
time with Family and Friends that we could have asked for.It taught us good sportsmanship
and the meaning of how important family values were. Not to mention the Friends made that
have lasted a life time.

The Kids are as safe as possible. Safety is the name of the game, not only for the Kids, but for all
involved. They are safer than riding a bike down the street or riding a go-kart at the local Fun Spot,
with all the safety gear that is required..

Too many children nowadays are abusing drugs and alcohol, or engaging in other
illicit activities. I know from past experience, S 2392 will help keep our children off the streets.
Our kids will have the opportunity to see positive role models by being able to
spend quality time with their fathers, mothers, family members and other
respected adults. These role models will help them learn life skills such as
sportsmanship, respect for others, teamwork, woodworking skills and small engine repair, and
Family values that seam to be all too difficult to get across to Youths these days.

Please help us keep our kids off the streets. Stand our kids, bring S 2392 to
the floor and vote yes.

Respectfully,

Jack Thompson
