ORBA is a non-profit association of business owners who have united to preserve the sport of off-roading and to resist the efforts of environmental extremist organizations whose goal is to eliminate off-roading with the objective of protecting the environment without regard for human recreational needs. The commitment of these extremist organizations is evident by their track record and their successes leading to the recent closure of over 50,000 acres of the Glamis sand dunes - the most popular off-road recreation area in the United States of America.
POLITICAL:
Expand and maintain an association of off-road related businesses to have a significant impact on the political process. ORBA will support political candidates and political policies favoring the protection of off-road recreation opportunities.
FINANCIAL:
Through a fair and reasonable system of dues to all members, ORBA will establish and build a treasury to support efforts that promote and encourage off-road recreation. Additional fund raising programs may be instituted to enhance ORBA's financial position. Off-road volunteer organizations will be able to appeal to ORBA for funds to accomplish tasks that promote the recreational sport of off-roading.
COOPERATIVE:
Strength in numbers will enable ORBA to consider programs which will have common interests and benefits to members.
ORBA
VS. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS:
Questions have been asked about why ORBA is different
from the many other organizations already in existence
that represent manufacturers and retailers. The answer
is one simple word: "FOCUS!" If your business would not be significantly impacted
by the loss of off-road recreation opportunities, you
should not be interested in supporting ORBA. ORBA is
100% focused on off-road issues and off-road related
businesses. For example, helmet laws and health and
safety requirements for street motorcycles are good
causes but they are not ORBA issues!
SUMMARY:
ORBA is an association of off-road related business owners who believe that, unless the off-road community gets organized, off-road recreation opportunities nationwide will continue to be curtailed and eventually eliminated by environmental extremists who have, for a long time, been organized and well financed. Without question, the ultimate goal of the enviro-extremists is to close any and all open spaces to off-road recreation! Obviously, massive closures of open spaces to off-road recreation would bring huge economic losses to off-road related businesses. The primary goal of ORBA is to stop this from happening!
