Here's how to destroy USA Roller Sports:

The US Olympic Committee is currently under investigation and reform due to their corruption. It is in the legislature right now, and one of the recommendations made so far is to cut the funding to the Pan Am sports, that's what skateboarding falls under in the Rollersports category. Roller Sports has on their website a plea to write to congress to keep their funding. Here's where we come in. We write to congress and agree that their funding should be taken away from the Pan Am games, the reason being they appointed themselves governing body of skateboarding illegally, when in fact skateboarding does have a governing body, World Cup Skateboarding is the governing body, who has been handling skate events for over 12 years, including the X-Games. You might say they took skateboarding to get the large bucks the USOC gives each governing body. Whatever you want to say in your own words will be good as long as you agree the Pan Am games should not be funded with Olympic money. Here are the links, it's easy to file a complaint. But we have to act fast, as Congress is about to finish up on this matter. Do this, it's the only way to take action at this time.
