Here is the info on the new PetPac, as well as other sites for those of us opposing this garbage of a bill:
************************************************** ******
Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that there will be a
meeting concerning AB1634 held
at noon at the Coyote Hills KC show, in Vallejo, CA
on May 19 th.
Mr Hemby, our lobbyist, will be there to answer any
questions that you may have
regarding this bill and the newly formed PetPAC, and
how we will proceed in our
fight against AB1634.
See you there,
Deb
ToyvilleChis
Members,
As of today, no date has been set for the
Appropriations Committee to hear AB 1634. The earliest
that the bill can be heard is May 16, 2007. More
information regarding the timing should be forthcoming
by the end of the week. Please continue to write both
the Appropriations Committee and the Governor. In
addition, e-mail letters should be sent to Tony
Easley. His email address is:
[email protected].
I have been informed that he is very competent and
will personally see to it that the mail is put in the
proper folder.
I've complied a list of websites are in opposition to
AB 1634 (I'm sure there are more out there, but these
were the ones that came to mind quickly). I also
encourage each of you to join the following Yahoo
groups: (1)
http://pet-law.com/ (laws and discussions
impacting the US) and (2)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CApetlaw (laws and
discussions impacting California - you can also access
the link to sign up for this group from the pet laws
link).
There are a number websites that have updated
information relative to AB 1634 and its opposition. If
you are wondering how you can help in the fight (in
addition to sending your letters), please see the
