************************************************************************ >WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP! THE MARSHALL CAMPAIGN This campaign "addresses" local retailers of Marshall Products/ferrets of the concerns raised. This is a coordinated and focused campaign to be launched across the country. This "enlightenment" will include all forms of media(telephone, fax, mail) *and* personal visits by individuals and small groups at the appropriate time. Because of the widespread and unified effort, media coverage is very likely. All individuals are respectfully reminded to conduct themselves accordingly in this "peaceful" action of consumer and public concern. This is a non-aggressive but fully assertive effort. At this time there are two very important tasks: Participation: FML'ers who decide to participate in this effort are encouraged to seek additional individuals within their local area and in other cities. While members of various ferret or animal related orgs are very welcome, this effort is purposely not sponsored with *any* organization, group, club, shelter, etc.. All participants may do so as individuals unless otherwise desired. If you'd like to represent any org, group, club, shelter, etc., and are able to do so, great! EVERYONE is invited to participate. Action: All involved at this point need to join in the efforts of collecting all relevant data of the retail outlets (name of store, owner/manager, address, tel#, fax#, hours of week/weekend operation, and products sold(ie, ferrets and/or accessories). No store is too small and "chain stores" are to be especially considered. Requirements: This will require some but a very little effort on the part of each and every individual involved with little or no expense and just a little time since many of us *do* have multiple responsibilities. Other requirements: None. There is *no* need to centrally fund any of this. This effort is simple, inexpensive and direct by design. One step at a time. We can and will make a difference. ************************************************************************ [Posted in FML issue 2237]
