From: <LFINCO@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:58:55 EDT To: <CDOC_Unite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <NORCALGoldenRetrieverClub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <norcalgrf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [CDOC_Unite] (no subject) TUESDAY UPDATE AND CONTINUE NEED FOR ACTION-- JUST A FEW MORE CALLS CDOC Directors have been working at the Capitol in Sacramento since Wednesday evening. We have been joined by Canine Companions for Independence and PIJAC along with SaveOurDogs. We are beginning to see the impact of your calls and letters. We are told there will not be a vote today (Tuesday) which means your efforts are working. But the Assembly will be working late tomorrow and representatives will be bombarded by Mancuso and Platinum and are under tremendous pressure from Senator Dean Florez. These are your legislators; educate them about the bill and tell them what you, their constituents, need. We need you to continue to contact your own representative. We especially need calls and letters to the following legislators. You can review previous posts to find the cities they represent and continue to have friends, family, and associates especially in these districts contact-- Anthony Adams - (916) 319-2058; fax (916) 319-2159 Noreen Evans - (916) 319-2007; fax (916) 319-2107 Isadore Hall - (916) 319-2073; fax (916) 319-2173 Bonnie Lowenthal - (916) 319-2054; fax (916) 319-2154 V. Manual Perez - (916) 319-2080; fax (916) 319-2180 Lori Saldana - (916) 319-2076; fax (916) 319-2176 We want to thank them for their opposition last year and ask them to hold their position. We continue to fight the following fabrications by Mancuso and Platinum. The supporters continue to state: (1) This does not affect licensed dogs. That of course is completely untrue - go to http://www.cdoca.org/downloads/downloads.html for the rebuttal (2) There are appropriate exemptions. Of course untrue, see rebuttal. (3) New York already has this law and it works well. What New York has is their version of the Vincent Act, which California has had since 1999. SB250 will not work, it penalizes the dogs and responsible people, not the irresponsible people; they will turn their dogs in. It will cost the local governments in California millions of dollars. No respected national organization is supporting this bill.
