PEOPLE WE ARE LOSING THE FIGHT IN SACRAMENTO!!!

[Liz ODell]

PEOPLE WE ARE LOSING TO THE ANIMAL RIGHTS FOLKS! THE SENATORS ARE GETTING MORE LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL (SB250) THAN AGAINST IT! I must assume everyones either retarded, phone lines are down, fingers are broken, tongues cut out or you just don't give a shit if you can't own an unspayed/unneutered dog or cat in California any longer.

The phone numbers, emails and fax number have been listed in the thread I posted in the General Forum on this website. .
If you can get on here to look at pictures I'm sure you know how to use email and all our other modern conveniences......sorry for getting mad but I just don't understand where the hell all the support that killed AB1634 went.


PLEASE....PLEASE....Tell as many people as possible about the bill and get them to call and hopefully attend the hearing on the 15th

Buddy, sorry for cross posting

[mike martell]

cross posting? well it has to go somewhere it will be tripped over!for those who don't understand the importance of all of this we basically are screwed if we continue to do as we have in the past. nothing!!!!! step up and support the cause. sometimes it is not about me or you. we are under attack in this country by the extreme left. for those who haven't been paying attention. this new administration promised "change". this is the form of change promised in the campaign. in less time than it took to figure how to post a photo of your trophy on here you could of contacted your legislators!!

[sambarhound]

Sorry to hear you are under attack and sorrier to hear that your team members are not in there boots n all fighting tooth and nail. Same problem here in Aus but it is changing for the better. Do HH(hound hunters) have to be a member of a club to be able to hunt? Maybe the club could give the members a bit of coaching about how to effectively campaign and write polite letters. Probably the most important is to make the hunters understand that they are in a fight whether they like it or not. Talk to them in the language they understand. Use an analagy they can relate to eg. what would you do if you caught up with your hound and a wolf was ripping into it???? The greens/anti's are the wolf...........teach them how you can hunt them. Most hunters like hunting. If they can understand the issue/problem AND feel as if they can do something to change the situation they will. Let's face it. Most hunters aren't rocket scientists. Keep it simple.

I think its more then that. We as hound hunters cant even get along when it comes to what breed we like to hunt. Or how or where or what we like to hunt. The only way we can win this fight is by uniting. All houndsmen from all states and even all countrys need to unite. It is the only way we can take the fight to them. I was reading about the funding that the HSUS or PETA has and the members they have. If we could get all houndsmen just in the USA to come together and we would all put just $20.00 each into this fight it would more then I belive it was triple the net worth of the HSUS. Now thats power... But how can we do this? As I said before if we cant stop fighting with ourselves over little things. How can we unite and fight the anits?

I looked into who the HSUS and PETA are going after right now. Did you know their major fight right now are with Houndsmen, Predator hunters, and high fence exotic hunters. They are not spending the majority of their funds on fighting Turkey hunters, Elk hunters, and Deer hunters. And I think I know why... The WTF, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and The Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Foundation. It comes down to power in numbers.

I heard a saying one time and it stuck with me.
"If you don't do anything to stop it , you have no right to bitch about it when its done."

[horshur]

I was under the immpression that California is going broke which begs the question..how the hell are they paying for it??? You would think they might have more pressing issues?

[Plott Proud]

EXACTLY Horshur!!

Will we be seeing you in Sacramento on Wednesday Liz? Stop by and pick up your Bluetic friends in Oroville and bring them along.
With all the people I hear that aren't working right now, that can't be used for the reason for not being there!
I'll be there again!!

WE NEED TO BE THER IN FORCE!! I guarantee you that the ANTI'S will be there! Just as they were all 7 times I was down there last year!

You'd better be there VERY EARLY, or you'll be left watching the meeting in the hall or cafeteria on the TV.
They always have these important meeting in the smallest of rooms.

People ~ If you are left in the hall or somewhere else watching the meeting, as soon as they begin taking the names of those who are there in opposition, head towards the room # and GO TO THE MICROPHONE AND SAY YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU'RE FROM!!

Too many times people go down there in opposition and yet don't go to the microphone.
THEY COUNT THAT WAY HOW MANY ARE THERE FOR and HOW MANY ARE THERE AGAINST.

WE HAVE TO BE HEARD!!

Last year the anti's rented a bus from LA and had tons of hippy looking tatted up freaky looking kids there who were for AB1634. They didn't even know what the bill was about!

HOPE TO SEE A JAMPACKED HOUSE OF HOUNDSMEN THERE!!!!!!!!!

[Liz ODell]

Yes, my husband and I will be there, we are coming down for the Tea Party and the Bill hearing. I keep hearing changing reports of when the bill will actually be heard but I believe if we all plan on it being read at 9:30 we can hopefully all be there on time. Not sure how long the tea party will last...hopefully we don't get pepper sprayed....

[Plott Proud]

I'd say that being at the Local Gov Meeting is more important than any tea party.

Hey Irv

You've to most all these things, what time do you think we should be there?


Dale

[Plott Proud]

I'd say be in line outside when they open the doors. I'd be there by 7:30 and you might make it inside the hearing room.

REMEMBER, the important thing is that we all go up to the mic, and say where we're from and that we Oppose SB250.
They need to have our total count of those opposed present!


Hope to see you and A LOT OF OTHERS DOWN THERE!!
