CA Senate Bill 250 failed its first floor vote yesterday on a vote of
16-15, with 21 votes needed for passage. A second vote for
"Reconsideration" was taken and passed 35-0. This simply allows the
author to bring the bill back for another vote on the following
legislative day. Senate rules require that the bill be voted on again on
Tuesday or 30 senators must vote to allow the author to wait another
day. It is vital that we continue to respectfully communicate our
opposition to this legislation.

All of the Senate Republicans voted "No" and eight Democrats abstained.
The Senators voting in favor of the bill were: Alquist, Calderon,
Cedillo, Corbett, DeSaulnier, Florez, Hancock, Kehoe, Leno, Liu,
Lowenthal, Oropeza, Padilla, Romero, Steinberg and Wiggins.

In the California State Senate members must be present on the floor to
vote and respond with a verbal "Aye" or "No." It is possible that some
of the members who abstained either were not present on the floor or
could still be convinced to change their vote. Therefore, we are asking
fanciers, responsible breeders, and concerned dog owners to concentrate
their efforts on those members who did not vote yesterday.

Please contact the members below and encourage them to either continue
to abstain or vote "No" on SB 250 if it is brought up for another vote.
If you prefer to email the legislators, here (Webmaster please link to
sample letter) is a letter to personalize and send. Please note that
some Senators will not accept or read emails from people who do not live
in their district.
