When the majority decides what they want, I will ask them to respect the minority opinions. If they won't then I will have to accept that. Paul opines... Evan...even tho you all (GSDC of Long Beach) don't hold shows in the city, I would suggest you all change your name and write a letter to the City, the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, LA Times, and the Orange County Register telling them why you are disassociating your club from Long Beach. That would send an important message that needs to get out. Oh...I would also copy Eukanuba, too. I don't know if it will work in Long Beach but the message will show that such a decision will affect the $ going to Long Beach and that money instead will go to other less severe cities. If we could convince Eukanuba...that would be huge. We could write them letters offering to boycott the show but it would hurt them even more if we stopped buying their products. Eukanuba and Iams are made by the same company. I personally am opposed to boycotts but there are times when they are necessary...this could be one of those times.
