THAT one, I can answer, Kathy. plus a few more :-) Sharon sent a letter from GSDCA and GSDCA is listed on the opposition on the most recent analyses. There is a story about how the missing 400+ got included in the anlsyses but it's too convoluted to write about, right now. Also, CDOC did put out a post and letter stating they are still in oppostion. They do support some aspects of the bill, (microchipping), but their final word was OPPOSE. www.cdoca.org The comments you made about slippery slope, the fact that the ARs and Mancuso's handlers will use AKC's switch to neutral to exclaim that AKC is o.k. with the bill is right on. Actually, we did that when CVMA switch from support to Nuetral last year. WE were ecstatic. Don't you think the ARs aren't? The bill is still a really, really bad bill. It still is a mandatory S/N bill, it mandates microchipping state wide, it mandates mandatory s/n state wide, it costs money that California can't afford. As far as AKC is concerned, I hope we don't get distracted from writing senators, informing all your friends, club members, clients, etc., etc about how important it is to get their phonecalls, faxes and personal contacts in to the senators. We still have a list of over 800 clubs organizations who OBJECT to this bill. Let's remind the legislature how many people that means.
