Mike I understand and totally appreciate that there are many who work
individually against the incursion of animal rights in our lives. I know that.
But just think how much stronger we could be, how we could impact not only our
own town, but across the nation for GSDs and for all animals. We are a large
organization with cachét and when a person can say that they are the
Legislation Chair for GSDCA directing the Legislation Regional Directors
representing all of the clubs, GSDCA members or not
., those listening (or
reading) know that they are hearing from a large reputable organization. I
hear/read frequently of GSDCA members or GSD owners are doing marvelous things
in their locale. Just think if that was extrapolated with a plan?
I would even think it would be good for GSD people to like the GSDCA
Legislation Awareness page set up that posts more that I think would be right
to post here. Like the White/Black/Longcoat/shortcoat/pink/blue controversy
<G>
many listers would get totally turned off if I posted everything here that
I post on that Facebook page.
