For use in political elections Introduction IMBA has created this political candidates' questionnaire about mountain bicycling and recreation on the public lands to assist you. During political elections, you will often find that political leaders are eager to discuss issues. A questionnaire is a common tool used by advocacy groups to bring their issues to leaders' attention, and the questions themselves often serve to educate the decision-makers. This questionnaire is crafted as a generic document, so feel free to modify it. The generic character makes this suitable for almost any election, be it a city or town, a county or township, a state or provincial legislature, or the Congress or Parliament.
Many issues facing mountain biking are similar at all levels.
Please use it as your own questionnaire, rather than stating it is IMBA's document. It's usually better to have such questions come from advocates who are voters in the election, rather than from an outside advocacy group. Many organizations are wary of endorsing candidates - and rightfully so. But a questionnaire is not an endorsement, provided that you distribute it to each candidate and treat the candidates equally. You can publicize the answers in your newsletter or in the media.
