It really has been with the tragedy of the South, all the gathering and sending of supplies to various receivers, watching the recovery and repairing and still the devastation and more rescues. It's been hard to think of any on-going business, but that remains. PAWS for the Senate subcommittee, Chairman Sanitarium (spelling intended), is intended for this week. I don't know when it's intended for the House yet. Getting short time for letters, but phone calls to local offices of the senators, faxes, email still need to be sent. And letters continue to be important as the bill goes through the committees. Rocky Mountain German Shepherd Dog Club has voted in a regular meeting to send a letter of opposition and join the over 280 organizations now opposing PAWS. The on-line petition for opposition of PAWS now is 4170. BSL still runs rampant. SB861 in California is now before the Governor and faxes and snail mail is really needed to oppose that. Other communities and states are still fighting, sometimes in vain, BSL legislation that is being pushed forward. Be careful, be aware. Stormy Gathering and sending. *^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^* Dog's love is different, it requires no return www.FairhopeGSD.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
