Even though you may not live in Illinois - We want to make you aware of two Bills that are rapidly making their way through the Illinois House and Senate. These bills if passed could be devastating to many of the Pointing breeds and to dog lovers and owners of any breed or mixed breed. Links to the Bills and information from the AKC, the NAIA and the Sporting Dog Alliance (who all oppose these bills) are included below. Additionally the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association calls HB 198 "misguided" and opposes it. After reviewing this information if you agree these bills should be opposed to maintain dog owners rights in Illinois please take action and: Sign the Petition provided by the Sporting Dog Alliance. Then have each member of your family sign the petition. Ask everyone you know who owns and/or loves dogs to sign it - even non-residents of IL. These petitions will be hand-delivered to the committees reviewing each of the bills. For IL residents, sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/asda1/petition.html Nonresidents, please sign at http://www.petitiononline.com/asda2/petition.html Forward this information to anyone you know who is a dog owner and/or lover! Prompt and aggressive action is required from all dog owners. If we do not act, there is a strong potential for irreparable damage to be done to everyone who owns a dog in Illinois, visits Illinois with their dog and to the dogs themselves. Thank you for your help! If you live in Illinois please - 1. Send an e-mail to the committee reviewing each of the bills. Use the tool at the bottom pf this page to instantly send an e-mail to each of the committee members for SB 139 - http://capwiz.com/naiatrust/issues/alert/?alertid=12699051&queueid=[capwiz:queue_id] Use the tool at the bottom pf this page to instantly send an e-mail to each of the committee members for HB 198 - http://capwiz.com/naiatrust/issues/alert/?alertid=12533456 2. Call your state senator and your state representative and tell them you strongly oppose HB 198 and SB 139. Use this link to find your State Senator and State Representative - http://www.elections.illinois.gov/DistrictLocator/SelectSearchType.aspx?NavLink=1 3. Send a letter to your state senator and state representative. Here is a link for a sample letter - Please change the bill number to SB0053 for Senators and HB198 for Representatives: http://www.akc.org/canine_legislation/IL_HB198_Sample_Letter_012109.doc Here is another sample letter you could use to oppose HB 198 - http://www.saova.org/news/Illinois/FormLetterHB198-SB53.doc Detailed information on SB 139 and HB 198 --- Link to full text of SB 139 - http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=76&GA=96&DocTypeId=SB&DocNum=139&GAID=10&LegID=40561&SpecSess=&Session= Link to full text of HB 198 - http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=76&GA=96&DocTypeId=HB&DocNum=198&GAID=10&LegID=40220&SpecSess=&Session= Link to information from AKC on SB 139 - http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?article_id=3721 Link to information from AKC on HB 198 - http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?article_id=3710 Link to information from the NAIA on SB 139 - http://capwiz.com/naiatrust/issues/alert/?alertid=12699051&queueid=[capwiz:queue_id] Link to information from the NAIA on HB 198 - http://capwiz.com/naiatrust/issues/alert/?alertid=12533456 Link to information from the Sporting Dog Alliance on SB 139 - http://eaglerock814.proboards107.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=24 Link to information from the Sporting Dog Alliance on HB 198 - http://eaglerock814.proboards107.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=21 A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
