Now is the time to write to the Senate Agriculture committee...we have an admendment that is sponsored by Sen Quayle and we need letters asking them to support this! This amendment will completely remove home-based rescue from the Comprehensive Animal Laws (something that SB260 added and was passed in 2002 - through a lot of letter writing, animal home-based rescues managed to get it suspended until the General Assembly meets). This is a website that gives an overview of SB 260 and why we wanted it amended: http://www.no-sb-260.com/ These are the folks to write (it doesn't matter if you are a rescue or just a voter - please WRITE and tell them to support Sen. Quayle's amendment): The Honorable Phillip Puckett State Senator P.O. Box 924 Tazewell, VA 24651-0924 The Honorable Bill Bolling State Senator P. O. Box 3037 Mechanicsville, Virginia 23116 The Honorable Mary Margaret Whipple State Senator 3556 North Valley Street Arlington, VA 22207-4445 The Honorable Frank M. Ruff State Senator P.O.
