Hello all,
Our bill will be heard in the Water Parks and Wildlife Committee on June
8th, 2004 in Sacramento. I strongly urge you to write at this time to
your Assemblymember even if you have written in the past, especially if
he or she is on the Water Parks and Wildlife Committee. Remember, our
bill must get through this committee so it can go to the Governor, or
it will die again this year.
To find out the name of your State Assemblymember go to:
http://www.ferretnews.org/legislators.html.
You may all write to the committee chair however, Assemblymember
Canciamilla and ask him to support this bill. As chair, it is
appropriate for you to write to him. but know your ferret facts
before you write but keep it to just one page. To read up on "Ferret
Facts" Visit the CFL webpage and click on the Facts link or go to:

Here are the Assemblymembers on the Water Parks and Wildlife committee:
Take a look at this list of State Assemblyembmers to see if you are in
one of their districts. Again, you can find your representative by
visiting this link:
http://www.ferretnews.org/legislators.html
All you have to do then is to type in your zip code and you will be told
who represents you in the State Capitol. This bill has already passed
the Senate last year but must pass the Assembly to go to the Governor.
If it doesn't pass this committee it will die!
When you write, you must use your name and address so your representative
knows you are a constituent. If you are not willing to write, your
legislator will not know there is support for legalizing ferrets and
frankly there's not much chance we will ever change this ridiculous law.
Here's how to address your letters to Assemblymember Canciamilla. To
write to another member of the committee if he or she represents you,
simply put their name, State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Joseph Canciamilla, Chair
Assembly Water Parks and Wildlife Committee
