About two weeks ago, I posted this and asked you all to consider working with 
the ARC and the DPCA.   The response underwhelmed me, so I'm giving it 
another go.   No, I haven't heard from the Club Challenge Committee, but it's 
still 
a worthwhile effort, a few extra stamps and a great benefit.   Let those 
legislators of YOURS know that you have dogs and you vote.    Please.   Thank 
you

    Subject: [GSDCALegislative] Making a difference

    Last week, a great idea was presented to us all by a joint effort of the
 American Rottweiler Club and the Doberman Club of America.   A couple of us
 (hopefully more) saw the idea as innovative, imaginative and workable and
 decided to pursue it with our regional clubs, then go one step further.


    That idea is to send our (generic "our") legislators a Christmas card. 
 And personalize it with a few words about us and our dog(s).

    To encourage everybody, the GSDCA Club Challenge committee is being asked
 if this could be worked into the club challenge competition...to make up a
 certain amount of points for each club member that participated in the
 Dobie/Rottie Christmas Card Challenge.   The rationale was that it benefited 
the
 German Shepherd by educating politicians about the breed and let the 
politicians
 know how many GSD owners were their constituents. Of course, there is hope
 that ALL dog owners of every breed, groomers, pet suppliers, would join in, 
but
 the goal for us would be our GSD owners.


    There hasn't been a response yet from the Club Challenge Committee and I
 do hope that they agree to give points for the card giving.   BUT even if 
they
 don't, it is a worthwhile effort and something that every regional club
 should take part in.   Your politician can be found easily at :

    Add a picture, a few words about your dog (read the great hints on the
 Dobie site!) and send a few extra Christmas cards this year.   Then tell you
 other dog friends to take the idea into THEIR CLUBS!   Very little cost, 
great
 benefits and a worthwhile cause.   If   we talk this up, it'll catch on and
 everybody will want to join in.   Time is rushing by.....Let's do it, o.k.?
