It was formed in Washington state and has had successes in fighting, in the courts, anti-dog legislation. Here's their website. http://www.americancaninefoudationlaw.com/ If I get any of these next acronyms wrong, I KNOW I'll be corrected :-) ADOA (American Dog Owners' Association RPOA (Responsible Pet Owners' Association SAOVA (DArn, I forget, but it's based in Virginia and did a great job on the LAST Paws attempt. Remember, that IS coming back) CFoDC (California Federation of Dog Clubs) was quite active several years ago, but discord and dissent splintered and defused. I am hoping that they are all bandaged back up. There are new people becoming involved and I am for ANY group that can gather the people quickly and efficiently. My hope STILL Is with CFA, and while letters, Lots and lots of letters, are going forth immediately to YOUR California Representative, clubs will financially support CFA which is already in the Courts litigating against the state of California, Los Angeles County and other locales in California. Californians can help by locating any corporation (MONEY) that is friendly to our cause and encourage them to back CFA and to lend their support to them. I am checking to see who the lobbyist is in Sacramento from CFA (PAUL?), but the action will come from groundswell opposition and MONEY. Now there is a coalition between the Parent Clubs of the Rottweiler and the Dobermans. We have approached them (RALEEF member) about joining their coalition, and they have responded favorably. Now for the other 'hundreds' of parent clubs.
