.. following is a letter from Jackylyn Hungerland. I personally faxed all 17
new assemblymen on the Appropriations Committee this
morning, have been in touch with newspapers and tv
stations the past 2 days.
AKC has recommended all dog clubs get letters of
oppositon on their club letterhead and get those
letters to the 17 members of the Appropriations
committee:
A new legislative alert regarding California Assembly
Bill 1634 has been posted to the AKC?s web site. To
view this alert, please click on the following link,
or cut and paste it into your web browser: AB 1634 -
The More Than $100 Million Mistake
It is imperative that all clubs in California write a
new letter to the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Your letter must state that you are ?opposed to AB
1634, as amended by the Business and Professions
Committee on April 24th.? It is essential that
California Clubs send official opposition letters to
the committee consultant to ensure your club is listed
in the bill analysis. Please send your letters to:
Assembly Appropriations Committee
ATTN: Chuck Nicol, Committee Consultant
State Capitol, Room 2114
Sacramento, California 95814FAX: (916) 319-2181

A member of my dog club was there yesterday and talked
with the AKC rep, as we hear from her the plans, I'll
forward that on. It was good, there were 60 seats
available in the room, the opposing side had 57 of
them, we had over 300 supporters there and it made teh
Governor take note as well as brought in media which
spoke to our side.
Jackylyn Hungerland's letter:
Feeling the need to face this serious threat to us,
some of us have formed a PAC with two divisions:
North and South. I will be the contact
point/President of the Northern division and will
focus on getting grass roots support. Our
observations as we visited legislators today was that
stacks of letters are there and are making an
impression. So the old saying "Keep those cards and
letters coming in" still holds.
Please advise people that the web site should be up
tomorrow or next day. Please visit CDOCalifornia. org.
(That is Concerned Dog Owners of
California.) Contributions to the effort can be made
through Pay Pal. Our first order of business is to
get AB1634 defeated, then hire a lobbyist, then
educate, educate, educate. To pull this off we need
ALL parties to step up to the plate.
Thanks for keeping people informed.
There were actually 350-400 people there from all over
California this morning: breeders, judges, Jack
Bradshaw, photographers, current and former AKC reps,
service and guide dog people, several handlers, kennel
club reps and on and on. It was very gratifying but
we need continued support and
with your help we'll get this done!
Jacky Hungerland

So, this is one day later and we've got our side
rolling along! So let's unite!
