VICTORY!!! California AB 1634 Defeated! |
| July 12th, 2007 06:06:57 pm |
We did it!
Working together, the 33,000 members of PetPAC were victorious today at the State Capitol.
Assemblymember Lloyd Levine was told by Members of the Senate Local Government committee that his statewide mandatory sterilization legislation would not get their vote.
Senators voiced their opposition to the very foundation of the bill – punishing responsible pet owners – and left Assemblyman Levine with little choice but to table the bill for six months and come back to the committee next year with amendments that will gut most – if not all – of the current language.
We are grateful for your support of PetPAC and thrilled with the outcome. It was an honor to testify against the bill today, and I was especially pleased to enter into the record an additional 742 organizations opposed to the measure.
PetPAC has worked around the clock advocating against AB 1634. Coming down to the homestretch, our television commercials took our story to millions of Californians and bringing Lassie to the Capitol stole the hearts of everyone in Sacramento.
We will continue to grow our coalition and organize our efforts against opponents who for months have shown more enthusiasm for personal attacks and misleading the public than working towards making good public policy.
Stay tuned…together we will protect our pets.
Sincerely,
Bill Hemby
Chairman, PetPAC |
