A little history of ABATE...

"ABATE began in the early 1970's when a mandatory helmet law was first introduced in the state of California. Easyriders magazine and a few supportive groups formed an organization which they called ABATE to fight that law. Since that time, ABATE groups have organized in over 36 states. ABATE also began in Texas in the 1970's and has reorganized three times since then, the latest reorganization coming in 1990. (The) Texas ABATE Confederation is organized and operated exclusively for education and charitable purposes under section 501C(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and in the State of Texas as a nonprofit corporation."
