Please cross post to other interested lists. A little over three weeks ago, a letter was sent out to all Regional clubs. That letter, among other subjects, asked that each club find a volunteer to be the legislative representative to the parent club Legislative Liaison. So far, over twenty hardy souls from over twenty regional clubs across the nation have responded and a legislative group has been set up to facilitate communication regarding legislative matters. The Group is still settling in, but already (in three weeks!) there has been information passed and new information gathered. Already several of the members have been active in the legislation in their area. This can only get better with more participation, so for those of you who have not found a volunteer from your club, be that volunteer yourself.. or do an impressment! :-). All it takes is the desire to have the freedom of choice to own and enjoy your dog without undue government interference.
