Yesterday, shortly after I sent posts to all the Regional Clubs and to this List, the NAIA Site was pulled down for some needed maintenance. I am happy to report the NAIA Site is now back up and fully operational so you can go there to write letters to your Senators and Representatives, just go to: www.naiatrust.org and follow the instructions I sent yesterday that were provided by Kathy Casteel. Come on folks, write everyone and do it this week BEFORE the August Recess. Be sure to write BOTH your Senators and Representatives. And then just for good measure let the good folks at AKC know what you are doing too. PAWS is NOT GOOD and the only reason I can figure that AKC is promoting it so boldly is they figure they can be the Government Contractor for the USDA to do all these inspections and earn millions for the AKC. Nothing else makes sense and I have written AKC asking that question and of course have not had any answer from them. So, stop reading this and go write those letters.
