I'll tell you why people in other states will pay attention to your
letters, phone calls, emails, faxes. If you ever show dogs in this
state (or in any place other than where you reside), you are bringing
money here. If you ever take a vacation here (Virginia Beach comes to
mind, or Williamsburg) you are bringing money here.
All you have to do is point that out...and mention that you do not
care to spend your money in states(or towns, or cities) that are so
pointedly unfriendly to dogs.
Believe me, they pay attention. Sure, they pay more to residents,
particularly constituents...but most do not ignore out of state
comments, particularly when the correspondence or call mentions the
annual trips to Virginia to compete in the spring series of dog shows,
or the family's favorite vacation spot, the Virginia shore.
Similar comments work for any place in the country. When I wrote
to legislators about Colorado, I didn't have any problem telling them
how many times I'd been there, and how many times I wouldn't be there
again, nor was it difficult to say that I would spread the word.
Thank you...a Virginia resident who is becoming ashamed to say that!
