From Patti Strand, NAIA Trust and shared by Peggy We are approaching a critical time in the fight against AB 1634, so we have set up www.capwiz.com/naiatrust/home at the NAIA Trust lobby center to send faxes as well as emails. That is, we have enabled it so that you can compose an email or format a letter and send it as a fax by hitting send. Levine won't bring the bill to the floor unless he thinks he has the votes. He has proposed new amendments during the last few days and tomorrow is the next time he can bring the bill or the amendments to the floor for a vote. We have no special crystal ball or predictions, but think it's a good time to send another round of opposition letters to assembly members. The proposed amendments do not change our opposition to the bill, which is fundamentally flawed. The bill is unnecessary because steep declines in shelter impounds and euthanasias have occurred without such draconian legislation over the last several decades. AB 1634 will not achieve its stated goal. Instead, it will lead to many unintended consequences: AB 1634 will undermine the long-term shelter population trend, harm the economy, and drive pet owners out of the system. Please go to the NAIA Trust Lobby Center (www.capwiz.com/naiatrust/home) now and write and send your letter! The talking points are provided as guides. Modify them to fit your point of view. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
