Alert of 10/22/06 - Revised Legislation

Click the link below to see the VVAW legislative initiatives for the upcoming session.


2007 Initiatives as of 10/22/06

Most have been tweaked a little since they were last sent out.

 

In this version, the change of most substance is in Initiative #6 about humane education.  Please read that particularly carefully.

 

We now need you to do this:

 

1.   Write/call your delegate and your senator.

 

a.   Ask them to co-patron the gas chamber bill.  You needn’t be wordy or clever; just say you are a constituent and you want them to support the elimination of gas chambers in Virginia as a way to kill pets.

 

b.   If you wish, ask them to support the VVAW legislative initiatives generally and refer them to the VVAW website:  www.VirginiaVotersForAnimalWelfare.com

 

c.   If there is another bill on the list you particularly favor, ask them to patron that bill.  Again, don’t be wordy or clever, but ask them to support ____; - you fill in the blank.

 

 

2.   Write/call each member of the House Ag Subcommittee.

 

a.   Ask them to co-patron the gas chamber bill.  Do as in #1a above.

 

b.   If you wish, ask them to support the VVAW legislative initiatives generally and refer them to the VVAW website:  www.VirginiaVotersForAnimalWelfare.com

 

 

3.   To get your legislators and committee members, see

http://legis.state.va.us/

and once there, see Legislation Information Systems.

 

If you have trouble, let us know and we will help.

 

Thank you.

 

Lillian, Don, and VVAW Board
