OMG..... People get a clue. YOU CANNOT COMPROMISE ..... Ginger Cleary - Rome, GA www.rihadin.com <http://www.rihadin.com> "Laws against something 'that other guy' does will eventually get US because we are all someone's 'other guy.' " Walt Hutchens,2007 -----Original Message----- I spoke with CDOC directly to get the facts. Cathie Turner confirmed that CDOC plans to meet with Levine (re AB 1634) and Boks (re the LA ordinance). Purpose would be to dialogue and to negotiate. I was asked whether I would prefer AB 1634 or something less bad. My answer to that is that we can beat AB 1634 if we stick together, and meeting/negotiating with them increases the odds of AB 1634 passing. Levine will twist this into a claim that the breeders have worked with them to fix the bill for breeders. We have all seen what Levine's is about... he lies at the public hearings, and he surely lies in private. He has shown no willingness to date to yield to any of the concerns about AB 1634. If the very influential 94,000 member California Farm Bureau Federation cannot get their concerns about AB 1634 addressed, then nobody can. I strongly encourage everyone to contact CDOC and let them know that you don't support their plans to meet with Levine & Boks. If anyone has any influence over them, please try to exert it. If you know anyone who might have influence over them, please ask them to help. Also, I encourage those who support the AB 1634 opposition to send your money elsewhere. An inclusive PAC that includes the interests of all dog and cat owners in the opposition, and is dedicated to the outright defeat of AB 1634, will be announced within a few days.
