We are fighting legisative battles on so many fronts. Today was a big hearing in Sacremento on AB 1364. Have not heard what happened yet. For those living in New Jersey, please read the following and act upon the information:

From my friend Peggy who keeps us abreast of the battles being fought . .

All you NJ folks, please start calling Senator Sweeney’s office. He has three offices, but the
number at the main office is 856-251-9801.
If you bug the staff long enough and keep them from doing other work because they have to answer the phone, they will let him know, for sure. Of course, you are calling to OPPOSE Senate Bill 1064–
I can’t find a fax number, but if you can find one, fax away… Get your friends and neighbors, and relatives and co-workers, to call in opposition, also.

Also…if you google NJ Legislature, you can go to the state’s website and find the name of your own State Senator there… you should also call/fax, or write your own Senator, too…and ask them to oppose the bill.
The California fight isn’t over, nor is the fight in Texas, or
Ohio…but there are equally noxious bills popping up everywhere. We
have to fight them, and fight them hard…if we don’t win these battles,
folks, it won’t matter what club you’re in, or who your friends
are…none of us will have dogs much longer. And don’t think I’m
exaggerating…I’m not. That is, after all, the aim of the ARistas who
are constantly badgering these legislators and convincing them these
onerous laws are necessary…while we all sit around and say “no, it
won’t bother ME and MY dogs.” Uh huh…………..believe me…it
will. Maybe not your state right now…
but every battle we lose brings the war closer to each and everyone else.

Don’t just sit there….make a phone call to Sweeney’s office
first thing tomorrow…and keep calling until you get through. Make
sure they know you are
vehemently opposed to State Bill 1064.
