Central Daylight Time Subj: [TX_RPOA_E-News] Texas HB 1451 Pulled from Consent Calendar! TX-RPOA E-News >From RPOA Texas Outreach and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Crossposting is encouraged. April 14, 2011 Texas HB 1451 by Thompson has been "pulled" from the Local and Consent Calendar due to the efforts of Representative David Simpson and has been "Recommitted to Committee Licensing and Regulation of Commercial Dog & Cat Breeders." Rep. Simpson stated for the record that he could talk the required 10 minutes of filibuster if necessary. Rep. Thompson then pulled her bill. RPOA appreciates the efforts of Rep. Simpson. Many legislators fear Thompson's power as chairman of the Local & Consent Calendar Committee which could prevent their bills from being heard. However the battle continues so stay tuned. In the meantime: Contact your own representatives and senators who can be found at: _http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/_ (http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/) and fax them our HB 1451 Talking Points on our website: www.rpoatexasoutreach.org in the Lobby Corner and under "RPOA Bill Positions" link. HB 1451 is fundamentally flawed and cannot be fixed with amendments. ..............................................................
