Hi all!
 
As you all might have heard, SB55 (The Ferret Bill) lost here in California,
to the vote of 5-3.  I urge you all to take some time out of your busy
schedules and please call, write, or fax all concerned.  Get your friends to
do this also!  Praise the Yes votes, and question the No votes.  Tell of
your experiences with ferrets, how much they are a part of your lives, and
family.  Send pictures of them interacting with people.  Anything!!  I think
what we need here is an onslaught of letters to these bureaucrats, and when
they see maybe thousands of letter from all around the country, it may show
them that the ferrets have a lot of friends!  I for one of plead for your
support.  It s been a long battle, we are getting tired here, and your
support would sure raise spirits here!  Here is all the information you ll
probably need.  Thanks for all your support for all of us in California!

Lestat -  Hey, I m a heartbreaker, not a lawbreaker!
