Hello everyone, Our signature count is now at 28,000 plus. I know there are some of you out there that have some large numbers and it would help if you could send in what you have so we can count and bundle them. Keep collecting these until August 29th or so but please get them to me by August 31st so I can make a final count. On Wednesday Sept. 5th two dedicated friends and ferret fans and I (both are triathletes so I'll be in the rear) are going to bike the petitions symbolically (the petitions are going to be in a truck) to Sacramento from the East bay. I don't know how far that is, I'm afraid to look on a map, but I've been trying to train for this ride during the summer. I haven't ever ridden that far by miles, and I don't even own a road bike. I have a crossroads-type bike, but it's a really, really nice one and since it's flat once you get past the East Bay hills (I hope) and I've been riding in the hills here, I think I should make it ok (I hope!). We'll publish the route and our starting point and estimated arrival time at Sacramento and at key destinations say 30, 20 and 10 miles outside Sacramento in case any ferret fans want to bike in with us. Or, you might be a whiz bicyclist and want to join from the begining. If so, just let me know! Jeanne Great going on the petitions folks. Please keep going and perhaps we can break the 30K mark, or who knows...... Jeanne Jeanne Carley Californians for Ferret Legalization 410 Mountain Home Rd.
