Yes...and all of that could have been done without RALEEF. There were just too many instances of "buckpassing," with nobody taking responsibility for the lack of action........ Sorry to step on people's toes, even by mistake...it's obvious my first response to Sally was supposed to be private...I sent a second one to the list. Nonetheless, RALEEF really was a mess, in spite of some hard work across the country, and a lot of well-intended people.. Anyway, hopefully it will all work better now.

We feel it would be more effective to be part of a larger organization.

The people who are interested in and work on legislation are still involved and in touch via our own email list. The club needs a legislative contact to work with the AKC, the NAIA, etc., actually, not to "work with" but to keep abreast of what's going on. As you can see from various posts to the list, we have continued to do that. As a group under the name RALEEF, very little was done, actually, other than the initial collecting of money.
