We must now gear up for the Senate. My hope was to defeat it in committee and then offer a proactive initiative on education. Assemblywoman Horton suggested such a solution in her remarks prior to the vote. I was in Palm Springs last Monday discussing this with consultants who believe an Educational PAC will have great impact on the outcome of 1634 and other negative bills. This was also a major point of discussion at the NAIA Conference Laurie Pruett and I attended on behalf of RALEEF this past weekend in Portland. We could channel our efforts through the NAIA (National Animal Interest Alliance) who is already geared up for such a fight. The conference was just awesome and many professionals in the field added so much new info on how to succeed. I also want to hear if you all would support (time and $) such an Educational PAC? It will not be inexpensive to get this going in time to address AB 1634 in the CA Senate but if we succeed there, we can export that success to other States and use our Educational PAC as a template for other States. I met with AKC reps at the conference and they our behind our efforts as were many of the other organizations in attendance. Such a great we ekend and now this vote...ugh! Probably the one most single thing that was evidenced is the need to for us to unite under an established organization like NAIA. They will be expanding their sphere of influence across the country as the year progresses. I urge you all to go to their website and join. www.naiaonline.org I urge your regional clubs to join as well. United we can be a force to contend with and divided we will most certainly lose.
