Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Send to a Friend | Donate Now | Join Our Activist Network Thanks to all of you who called, wrote to, and visited your representatives in the State Assembly—your efforts have paid off! The bill is now moving on to the Senate, and State Sen. Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), a member of the Senate Business, Professions, and Economic Development Committee, has announced that he will hold a public forum to discuss AB 1634, the California Healthy Pets Act, this Saturday, June 23. In a news release, Simitian reports that the Senate committee will be hearing the bill some time in the next few weeks, and he wants to hear from his constituents and others. Breeders and other people who profit from bringing more animals into a world that is already bursting at the seams with discarded dogs and cats will be there in full force to oppose this bill. It is essential that the senator hear from those who support this crucial measure to reduce the suffering and deaths of dogs and cats in California. What: AB 1634 Public Forum When: Saturday, June 23, 10 a.m. (Please try to arrive by 9:30 a.m.) Where: Palo Alto City Hall Council Chambers, 250 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto The senator’s office asks that people RSVP by calling Simitian’s Palo Alto district office (650-688-6384) or Santa Cruz district office (831-425-0401). Visit www.senatorsimitian.com for more information. Round up your friends, family members, neighbors, and everyone else you know, and spend a couple of hours standing up and being counted in support of this pro-animal legislation!
