Jill Holt from Riverside Co. just gave Terry Touissant a great binder chock full of everything like that, and that she and her friend made lots and lot of, and was presented to California legislators for AB1634. (get in contact with Terry, he is spearheading this and doing a great job) Go to www.carpoc.org/ under both Resources and Involvement, you will find sample letters, talking points. go to saveourdogs. com and Laura Sanborn has a website full of information you can use. These are the EXACT same people who were part of the authors of AB1634 and they are determined. Some of the others are up in Santa Barbara doing the same thing. They will need our help, too. Stormy who spent Saturday signing up people to go to the 1/13 meeting and getting petitions signed at PSKC. No GSDs but LOTS of people. got almost 300 petitions signed! (and some calendars sold :-) Ask and you shall receive :-) Stormy On Jan 5, 2009, at 12:40:15 PM, "Kathy Tank" <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hey Guys We have a fight coming up here, in Riverside County...mandatory S/N , chipping rears it's ugly head again.
