Subject: Senator Santorum's S1139 Hearing Report
Dear Friends,
This will be an abbreviated report of yesterday's Senate Agriculture
subcommittee hearing on S1139 (PAWS) in Washington. More information will
follow, as appropriate. The hearing was a complete farce, as expected. Only
PAWS supporters were permitted to speak, ten of eleven subcommittee members
didn't make an appearance and the staff interfered with bill opponents'
efforts to tell their story to the press covering the hearing. Animal
rightist PAWS supporters in the audience outnumbered PAWS opponents 10-1.
The attached Roll Call full page advertisement was the talk of the Capitol
Hill. Rick Santorum alluded to it in his opening statement and AKC personnel
were visibly upset.
An incredible team put this public PAWS hearing response together. The very
talented Nick Van Duren <http://www.checknick.com/Nick>
http://www.checknick.com/ drew two special illustrations for our use and the
gagged animals magnificently made our point regarding the closed hearing.
Susan Wolf (NCRAOA), Kelly Wickman (DFOW) and I collaborated on the text
message and many financial donors made the insertion in the ~30,000
circulation Capitol Hill political newspaper Roll Call possible. Among
supporting this work were the
American Boxer Club

Dog Federation of Wisconsin
Sawnee Mountain Kennel Club of Georgia
