Subject: BSL ACROSS THE NATION / Wa BSL-bills

 
From ACF

My friend Cherie Graves from R.D.O.W.S. has been circulating petitions
covering different states to attempt to gain support from voters (dog
owners) I suggest everyone sign these and pass them on to your email lists
urging signatures. These petitions can be used for stopping BSL and passing
effective legislation.  I have said many times state laws that prohibit BSL
will not stop BSL
because every year a bill gets introduced to repeal existing state laws,
however the power of the people will stop BSL and these petitions come from
voters. Cherie will be placing information on this email list and we aske
everyone to follow its instructions.

In Washington this Saturday I was invited to a dog show hosted by the All
American Pit Bull Association in Vancouver Wa. The attendance was huge and
over 150 APBT owners were present to hear ACF address BSL. Cherie Graves
sent a petition to the AAPBA and everyone at the show signed it. The AAPBA
also gave a generous donation to A.C.F. and everyone agreed to help fight to
stop BSL. AAPBA members at the show live in Oregon and Washington and the
show offers 5 events for APBT's including agility. Thank you AAPBA !!!


WASHINGTON BSL


HB1150

ACF's 1150 sponsored by Representative Kirby has passed the Full House, this
bill's intent is to  estabilsh the RCW to make it impossible to use a dogs
breed to determine it to be potentially dangerous, the wording as it is now
states ( a dogs breed "soley" can't be a determining factor in declaring a
dog potentially dangerous ) the word soley is being removed and there is a
very good reason for this so we will be sending out the list of Senators
very soon asking for a letter writing campaign in support of this bill.

HB1016

Representative Campbells bill to stop insurance discrimination is set to be
heard on the House Floor Tuesday and we need all Washington dog owners (
voters ) to email the entire House of Represenatives listed below. The
Insurance Commisioner is opposing the bill and ACF has been in touch with
the Commisioner and is meeting with him next week.  Of outrage is when we
needed dog owners to testify ay the House Committee hearings on HB1016 we
had received promises from dog owners they would show up, nobody came to the
hearing except Jeff Helsdon, a Veterinarian and myself. When this bill comes
before the Senate we would expect dog owners and organizations to send their
REPS to Olympia. Please email the House of Representatives on this bill, it
will stop not only insurance discrimination but have a great impact on BSL.
