I think the main message is that while I post the various alerts and messages to many lists and various "sub"lists (personal lists), more can be done. And for that to happen, everybody has to participate. It can no longer be dropped when one person, or two, or three take responsiblity, to broadcast the news of impending disasters. While a few people can "be in charge", it must then trickle down to the people who REALLY can count in the numbers. Who REALLY can do the most good. The regional clubs can take over and get members out to educate, and attend meetings, and be Participants. It's the only way it will work. Yes, it's important that our PC take a stand on the issues (which was the point of my original post...gulp), but ONE letter ain't going to do it. My main problem with a Leg. "CHAIR", is that once there is somebody appointed, people stand back and wait for the PERSON to do it...whatever "it" means. The job in front of the GSDCA now is for the 3000+ people to each take responsibility (under guidance) for halting the AR groups and their agenda in their tracks. To educate, vote and deny them their push to take away our animals. Then that 3000+ people can turn into 6000+, then 12000+. Now I'll go find those addresses that I used last week and send them off to Sharon. :-) (There, I'm smiling again) Stormy In a message dated 2/2/08 5:04:55 PM, pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: > Thank you, Carolyn! > Stormy is very involved in the California fight...but she hasn't ignored > other problems across the nation.
