Please check the list below. If one of the representatives listed is YOURS, please write them a letter. State that you abhor puppy mills, but that you object to certain (name a couple) of the problem passages in the bill. Sympathize with the representative that it is difficult to write a bill that will "get the bad guys while leaving the good guys alone" (your own wording of that idea). If your representative is NOT sponsoring the bill currently, please ask him or her to refrain from adding his/her name to the co-sponsorship on the bill, as you believe it will be difficult to legally define puppy mills in a way that leaves law abiding citizens with the right to show dogs and cats and breed them for that purpose.

Cosponsors: Representatives Stewart, D., Flowers, Skindell, Combs, Williams, B., Seitz, Okey, Fende, Setzer, Bacon, Beatty, Brady, Otterman, Peterson, Brown, Yuko, Stewart, J., Luckie, Wolpert, McGregor, J., Webster, Evans, Ujvagi, Blessing, Hagan, J., Distel, Heard, Dyer, Celeste, Foley, Chandler, Hottinger, Strahorn, Schneider, Bolon, Miller I have email and snail mail addresses and phone numbers if you can't find them................
