Faxes to Governor Schwarzenegger are good too! If you actually live in Cali contact your state Assemblyman and call, fax and email them. Simply say I am opposed to AB 1634! I don't know how much weight an online petition will have with legislators who don't even read the bills they pass much less stuff from the internet.

http://www.dognews.com/2007/41307/editorial.html

A Crucial Two-Week Window
A vote on the most onerous California proposal AB1634 has been postponed
until April 24. If ever the dog fancy should be united in opposition to
a proposal, AB1634 has the dubious distinction of falling into that
category. This proposal penalizes owners and breeders simply for keeping
their animals intact. Portrayed as being a solution to “pet
overpopulation,” Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, the introducer of this bill,
fails to understand the overall consequences of what is presumed to be a
well-intended proposal, but which in fact is anything but a positive
proposal. The stated goal of this far-reaching bill is to reduce animal
shelter populations in California. Obviously spurred on by the animal
rights extremists, Representative Levine has been duped into expanding
the language of the bill such that all legitimate and responsible dog
owners and breeders are lumped into the same category as the
irresponsible segment of the California dog-owning population. These are
people who permit their dogs to roam and breed freely. This is a classic
example of a penalty being imposed on the bulk of responsible dog owners
due to the actions of a minority of irresponsible people. Please take
the time to write or call the chair of the committee, the Honorable Mike
Eng, to express your displeasure with the language contained in this
bill. AKC's Web site contains sample copies of proper verbiage to use in
opposing this bill, as does the NAIA's Web site. Mr. Levine represents
the Van Nuys district in California. Those of our readers who live in
that area—and there are many—would be wise to call Mr. Levine to express
their displeasure with his bill. His district number is (818) 904-3840.
Remember, too, when dealing with these type people that civility goes a
lot further than does rudeness. One final thought—the meeting held on
April 10 in Sacramento had in the audience 115 people in favor of the
proposal, and 114 against it. On April 24, let's at least double our
turnout, to be sure our feelings will be heard and heard well!

I sent out emails to all the contacts on the AKC list and I'm proud to say I saw many of my puppy buyers names on the petition list.

Please everybody forward this information on to everybody on your email list.

This is very scary for California breeders but if it passes here when will it stop. Many of us with pet related jobs get ready to kiss them goodbye.
