That said...that minute and a half was very important. There were 100's there in support of AB 1634 but even more against. As I drove up to Sacramento, I changed radio stations several times and noted that every one previewed this bill and all of them leaned towards supporting 1634. I screamed more than once because I couldn't respond to the propaganda that's been spread by the supporters...the CA Veterinary Medical Association, and their new compadre...the Animal Control Agents Association. It IS formidable opposition and I looked closely at the committee's faces as people testified. I was not pleased and one committee member challenged an anti 1634 speaker openly in the committee. Ugly! All of the best talking points were brought up...owners property rights, loss of CA jobs and damage to the state economy, unfunded mandate, and the fact the only way this can be enforced is through a cabal between vets, ACO's, and the ARO posse's roaming the state turning people in...more UGLY! Bottom line is the vote has been postponed for 2 weeks. I need to get with the powers to see what we can do before then. As soon as I know I will post to all. Oh...another not so good thing...the TV reporters covering the hearing spent most of their time interviewing supporters. I finally went up and handed them my literature and put it under the windshield wipers of two of their TV vans. I've had better days...
