To the question of writing for a problem ordinance/bill from another state:
It never hurts.  It only backfired at one time from this one council member 
from a small town in CA a few years back.  Even though GSDCA had members there, 
and I was writing on behalf of those members, this smart a** council member 
wrote back to every person who wrote him from out of his town that he didn't 
want their suggestions, opinions or ideas.

Other than that, throwing in a comment about friends in the town/state, 
visiting the town/state, going to *think* about visiting the town/state gives 
your letter credence.

During the AB1634 (s/n the whole states' dog population), people were sending 
their friends from other states zip codes and addresses to add to their 
letters. I don't know if I would approve of that, but …..

Short answer… yes, please write, even though you don't live there.  Some 
politicians even like the fact that they are getting attention nationwide <G>
