And I did talk this subject over with a couple of them this weekend. (All four of the "main" group were at Summerfest and was really, REALLY visible, thanks to each of the Clubs. Those clubs should all get huge thank yous). Anyway, PETPac, RIGHTNOW, is focusing on California. They organized about two months ago, with Bill Hemby gathering his political savvy team from his background in C.O.P.S. Their immediate goal was to present an experienced PROFESSIONAL team to the Sacramento legislators. They have not hidden that they have a larger goal to expand to other states, BUT they have to win and win BIG (lots of upper case in this for emphasis, not shouting) BIG in California to be acknowledged as a formidable team. They have the connections to have immediately drawn in a web building team which put together their website in record time (www.petpac.net) and wangled deep discounts at the same time. For the T.V. spots (anybody seeing them on T.V.around Sacramento??), They brought in another top drawer team, wangled the same deeply discounted cost. The CAT Fanciers (CFA) put up the $25,000 seed money to get it started. So the answer to your question is, that RIGHT NOW, we got'em. Help them win big, and if you need them in your state, you'll get them :-) Stormy In a message dated 7/9/07 11:01:19 AM, almanya@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > does PetPac work for legislation all over the country or are they strictly > California? > > Amy Safdir > Almanya Shepherds > www.almanyagsd.com > > ~~~~~~~~ Stormy Hope California Federation of Dog Clubs www.cfodconline.org S.P.
