(THIS JUST IN!!! ) A CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL GEORGIA VOTERS – PLEASE TAKE ACTION TODAY! On Monday, March 8th, 2010, House Bill 788 – a bill to ban gas chambers as a method to euthanize pets in approximately 11 Georgia shelters – will be on the House Rules Committee calendar for consideration. The Rules Committee will decide whether to schedule the bill for a vote by the full House of Representatives. If the Rules Committee decides not to schedule HB 788 for a vote before the full House, it will die during this legislative session.
