They are probably missing from the list for the same reason that our local club (GSDCA of Central Ohio) is missing. While our opposition has been sent to our local representatives in congress, and the members of the committee (mostly via email), the SAOVA organization requires that copies be sent to them for verification before being added to the list. We found out about that requirement long after our stuff was sent and have been too busy to send stuff to SAOVA. The actual opposition is more important than being included on a list of opponents, IMHO.
