Hello Californians, Jan Goldsmith is asking that all ferret folks interested in HR 37 attend the hearing in the State Capitol set for May 14th at 9:00 A.M. (in Room 440 I believe-- please see the Weasel Web for the correct room number, or look for an update from me, or call me or e-mail me for the correct room number). [Moderator's note: The room number is 444 per further communication with Jeanne. BIG] Please take the day off, call in sick, whatever you have to do to show your support for this Resolution, and for the legislator that has been so solidly behind the ferret issue since day one-- Jan Golsmith. Help show Jan, his collegues, and the media, how many folks care about the legalization of ferrets. Jan's office also mentioned that we should bring signs so be creative with your slogans, i.e., "F E R R E T S = F R E E D O M," or, "In California, he's a Convict, everywhere else, he's a pet." Whatever, this is obviously not my forte, but you can have some fun with it. But please remember, if anyone deserves your barbs, it's DFG, not the Legislature. We're asking for their help, so don't attack them, attack the law itself, and the agency that's behind it. Jeanne Carley Legislative Director 415 851-3750, [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1556]
