Please share this with anyone you may know in Maine:
DEADLINE October 8, 2010. Norma Worley, director of Maine's Animal  
Welfare Department, with the support of Maine's director of the  
controversial Humane Society of United States, is proposing a "rules  
change" to Maine's Low Income Spay-Neuter Program. The proposed  
changes include a provision that no dog or cat purchased from a  
breeder would ever be eligible for the program. Worley and HSUS claim  
these changes are "minor and technical" without the requirement of a  
public hearing. The Federation of Maine Dog Clubs & Responsible Dog  
Owners disagrees and feels these changes are "major and substantive"  
and warrant a public hearing about a very important state program. A  
minimum of five registered Maine voters are needed to petition for a  
public hearing by October 8, 2010.

PLEASE SEND JUST ONE EMAIL WITH CC'S TO THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS AND  
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE:

<Norma.J.Worley@xxxxxxxxx >
<Ned.R.Porter@xxxxxxxxx>
Representative Jeff Gifford <jeffery.gifford@xxxxxxxxx>
Representative Jeff McCabe <jeffmccabe4me@xxxxxxxxx>
Representative Leila Percy <leilapercy@xxxxxxxxx>
Representative Peter Edgecomb <pedgecom@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Representative Kent <pskentz5@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Representative Smith <n4smiths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Senator Roger Sherman <rsherm_2000@xxxxxxxxx>
Representative Dean Cray <dacray@xxxxxxx>

Please let us know when you've sent your email. THANK YOU!
