Congressman WANTS YOUR input re: puppymills/pet stores!

[ibemee]

Forwarding this plea:
Subject: ALERT, DOGCHAT, RESCUE: Puppy Mill Info NEEDED NOW!
Cal Skinner, Illinois State Representative just called me today requesting help in forming NEW legislation to prohibit puppy mills. And he wants information from anyone, anywhere as Mills from all over the US transport these poor pups, many dying in transit, into Illinois.
This is a chance for everyone that has ever had any experience with Puppy Mills or anything that is even remotely associated with Puppy Mills, ie: Pet Shops, Transportation, Brokers etc. And he wants NAMES, ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS. I have been assured that the info will be investigated by his staff.
PLEASE don't let this opportunity slip by. And I will forward any and all info that I receive. I have been assured by Linda Gerdes, a Staff Member, that the info will be investigated. I was very impressed with Linda's knowledge of the issue and her efforts so far.
Thanks!!

Thanks for posting that for me, Ibemee!

To the dachsie people: Ibemee is a hard-working rescue person who has her finger on the pulsepoint in Calif. rescue circles.

When I saw this, I asked her to cross-post for me, because I couldn't do it from where I saw it.

So let's give this guy the dachsie version, okay??
