THE SECOND REBELLION TO
COME OUT OF BERLIN, PA

HouseofMiracles

As night fell we rolled into the historic town of Berlin, Pennsylvania in search of a charge. About the only thing open was a little place called the House of Miracles, an unlikely amalgam of coffee shop, religious book store and historical site. We plugged the bikes into an exterior outlet and ventured inside, where our senses were immediately assailed by colonial architecture, gregorian chant, and fresh espresso. The door was guarded by a life-sized Roman soldier, but the interior was welcoming, as was the owner, Roger Clarke. Over the next few hours we came to learn that the building we were in was actually the home of Robert Philson, who incited the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, and was arrested and later pardoned by George Washington.
Philson went on to become a US Congressman, and served as a General in the war of 1812. As we sat around the fire, sipping coffee and learning about the history of Berlin, we began feeling a little like conspirators ourselves, sowing the seeds of a rebellion against the powers-that-be in American transportation. We like to think General Philson would approve.

What We're Doing

Our plan is to retrace the route of the automotive CEOs who went to Washington DC asking for government loans. But instead of looking for aid, we'd like to present President Obama with a homegrown solution to the transportation crisis. And instead of flying in a corporate jet, we're riding Brammo Enertia powercycles. We're just a couple of guys who work for Brammo, but we want to show that there's a better way to get from Point A to Point B. And we want to have a little fun while we're doing it. So join us as we surf from plug to plug in a quest to meet Obama, fueled by nothing more than electricity and the kindness of everyday Americans.
