SB2002 is now scheduled to be heard by the Community Affairs Committee on Tuesday, April 14th, at 9am. In spite of (or perhaps as a result of) our efforts to block this bill, there have been a number of minor amendments filed (20 dogs vs 10 dogs, deleting pet shops from the list of exemptions) this bill is going merrily on its way. Please contact everyone on your e-mail lists -- in state or out -- and ask them to call or email or fax these legislators! We need all the help we can get!!! If out of the staters will FAX that would be great. Just tell them that you were spending your travel dollars in Florida but if these anti dog bills are going to pass -- you will rethink spending any money in this state. MONEY TALKS TO THESE PEOPLE!!!! SCRATCH WAITING FOR MONDAY. We NEED TO START NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I have listed all the phone numbers below. We need to bombard them now.
