As some of you know Steve has turned down job offers in California because
of the ferret ban.  Last week he received a mail from a v.p.  of one of
those companies saying that he had sent a letter on company letterhead to
his area's state senators and representatives stating that the ban on
ferrets had compromised his company's hiring position.  Last night we heard
that another company for which a friend works was planning to do the same,
having run into the problem several times with desired people.  Others here
have mentioned job offers which they turned down for their ferrets' sakes.
If you are still in touch with the people who wanted to hire you what about
asking them if they would consider sending the same sort of one sentence
letter?  If you are an employer in that position you could also do it.
Tackling the problem from multiple sides can't hurt at all.
