I haven't seen this on the mailing list yet, so I'll send it along. This information comes from the Sept/Oct '93 issue of Weasel Help Monthly (some paraphrased, some outright copied -- I don't think Bill Phillips will mind :-)): State Representative Jan Goldsmith has agree to introduce a ferret legalization bill into the California legislature in 1994. From previous contacts it sounds like there may be several other legislators willing to cosponsor the bill, but Jan Goldsmith will be the author and sponsor. So: if you are from California, are a registered voter from CA living outside the state, reside outside CA and own property in CA, are planning on moving to CA at some future date, or are living here for school, vacation, or work purposes, please write a letter of encouragement and appreciation to: Assemblyman Jan Goldsmith 12307 Oak Knoll, Suite A Poway, CA 92064 Or you can phone in your comments to 619-486-5191 or FAX them to 486-3334 (of course, written correspondance is always better than phoned :-)). I'm sending this anonymously since I live in California; if you need to contact me, I can be reached at the Internet mailing address [log in to unmask] Ferret-lover in California [Posted in FML issue 0583]
