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
and once there, see Legislation Information Systems.
If you have trouble, let us know and we will help.
Thank you.
