Most people seem leery of "conspiracy theories". The potential for us to out organize the AR people The problem did loom as put as seriously. It was 3 years ago that Paul Root was appointed to the RALEEF committee to work on all the issues. It was discussed at length at board meetings. So taken seriously enough to give board time and committee time, yes, it was definitely looming 3 years ago. Almost 2 years ago there was going to be a sizeable sum put into the committee by the board, but that did not occur either. We cannot out organize anyone if we just continue to discuss this. Pretty soon there will be less and less to discuss as the progression from the other side is moving in leaps and bounds. Read Stormy and Peggy's post then determine what you can do. We have a mayor locally that understands the issue's well. She scraps and fights with legislation and will have none of it. When I was a RALEEF co chair, I made sure she got everything we had to read, and she did. She promised to fight at this level and she still does. Everyone can do something locally and every little bit helps. Get some allies out there. As I mentioned the other day, I don't care about the breeder, her past issue's, the color, or anything else regarding Biden's pup. What I do care is our breed has an prominent figure in the upcoming government that has a purebred GSD. We hit the jackpot folks.
