Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 2:14 PM Subject: IRS review of HSUS activities The Alliance has been made aware of a new campaign to petition the IRS to investigate alleged under-reported lobbying activities of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Frank Losey of the Illinois Professional Pet Breeders Association and Karen Strange of the Missouri Federation of Animal Owners are heading up the effort, which aims to coordinate thousands of letters and e-mails to policy makers requesting that HSUS be revoked of its tax-exempt status due to excessive lobbying at both the state and federal levels.

All we have to do is our part to get this done. Forward to dog owners and the AKC and others if you think this is as important as I do.
