>WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP!
 
THE MARSHALL CAMPAIGN
This campaign "addresses" local retailers of Marshall Products/ferrets of
the concerns raised.  This is a coordinated and focused campaign to be
launched across the country.  This "enlightenment" will include all forms of
media(telephone, fax, mail) *and* personal visits by individuals and small
groups at the appropriate time.  Because of the widespread and unified
effort, media coverage is very likely.  All individuals are respectfully
reminded to conduct themselves accordingly in this "peaceful" action of
consumer and public concern.  This is a non-aggressive but fully assertive
effort.
 
At this time there are two very important tasks:
 
Participation:
FML'ers who decide to participate in this effort are encouraged to seek
additional individuals within their local area and in other cities.  While
members of various ferret or animal related orgs are very welcome, this
effort is purposely not sponsored with *any* organization, group, club,
shelter, etc..  All participants may do so as individuals unless otherwise
desired.  If you'd like to represent any org, group, club, shelter, etc.,
and are able to do so, great!  EVERYONE is invited to participate.
 
Action:
All involved at this point need to join in the efforts of collecting all
relevant data of the retail outlets (name of store, owner/manager, address,
tel#, fax#, hours of week/weekend operation, and products sold(ie, ferrets
and/or accessories).  No store is too small and "chain stores" are to be
especially considered.
 
Requirements:
This will require some but a very little effort on the part of each and
every individual involved with little or no expense and just a little
time since many of us *do* have multiple responsibilities.
 
Other requirements:
 
None.  There is *no* need to centrally fund any of this.  This effort is
simple, inexpensive and direct by design.  One step at a time. We can
and will make a difference.
