PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST IS GRANTED IN ADVANCE Okay, folks, it is time to put our noses back to the grindstone. The ARistas did not take the Christmas break off. Straight from the horse's mouth (an aide in Santorum's office contacted by phone) - AKC is wrong!! There are no amendments at this time and there WILL BE NO amendments in the future. The bill is going forward as it is currently written. Below is an email containing the names of more than 60 new PAWS sponsors and contact information as well as some suggestions for letters. If the new sponsors are from your state (or even if they aren't <g>) please write them and ask them to withdraw. Give them good information, call, fax, email but get your point across - that you are a reputable AKC breeder or a reputable animal owner and you are opposed to PAWS!! You can also contact the National Republican Party HQ as many have done and tell them you will not support the party with either donations or votes as long as Santorum is supporting PAWS. No one is going to ride in on a white horse and save us - certainly not AKC - we will have to save ourselves. shared by Peggy...........with permission ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
