CA AB 1634 - Update

Update - May 1, 2007

The USA strongly opposes the Bill which now has progressed to the Appropriation Committee which deals with dollars and cents. Our membership is encouraged to visit all sites including the AKC and Save Our Dogs which are actively engaged in "battle" against the Bill. Our role is to assist these groups in their fight and direct members in actions they can take.

1. we have developed a flier which can be used to rally the membership to act against the Bill. This can be accessed at the USA site or by clicking here.

2. you can also use the flier developed by the AKC. Please click here. This is more generic and applies to all breeds and may appeal to non-GSD ownership.

Next steps -

We will -

1. post suggested letter formats that can be used by the general membership and the clubs to send to the Appropriations Committee membership.

2. have a strongly worded letter from the President of the USA sent to the Committee. This will address economic issues impacting the membership and the clubs in California.

3. provide updates as available to alert the membership as to progress on this issue.

To USA and all its members, but especially California members!

Please consider sending monetary support via PET-PAC.org which supports lobbyist Bill Hembe of COPS (California Organization of Police and Sheriff's) fame. We need a professional like Bill to get this bill killed.

Several organizations already back Bill including the California Federation of Dog Clubs and Save Our Dogs. USA's official support is also needed!
