FWD:, crosspost o.k. HB 198: Call IL reps/senators Friday in their home office This message at the end was forwarded me by Susan Wolf&nb sp;of SAOVA so I believe Susan Wolf checked it out and the content is accurate. Therefore, I am passing it on to everyone on my IL legislation lists. The radio show referred to for Sunday is of course Steve Dale's Pet Central. Please listen in and PHONE IN with your valid concerns about this legislation. Steve's show on 720 AM comes through loud and clear in the evening for a long distance away from Chicago, and you can even listen in online by going to the WGN Radio website http://wgnradio.com/index.htm and click "Listen Now" on the upper right hand corner when his show is on - then follow further online listening instructions. Also - I am trying to verify with certainty the next date for the next Committee hearing for HB 198. The Committee meeting will be Feb 19, and this bill currently shows up on the schedule for that day http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum98&GAID&DocTypeID=HB&LegID@220&SessionIDv&SpecSess=&Session= &GA? http://tinyurl.com/ctpwwz However, I just received a message from Susan Wolf that there is no certainty that our bill of interest, HB 198, will be heard on that day.. I don't want to send everyone on a drive to Springfield (especially from my area, Chicago) unless there is a reasonable chance of it being heard during the meeting. So - as soon as I verify that it might be heard (or not) I will send a message to everyone.

The only day they are in the local office so best to make your voice heard there on Friday.......go to www.ilga.gov find your local rep and senator and start calling and emailing at that number on Friday. Also tell them to listen to 720Am radio in Chicago Sun evening 8-10 some of the supporters of this legislation will be taking calls on air. NOW this should be fun...and we may have a surprise in store if we can get it together.
