URGENT!!

Call your Senators ASAP, SB 373, the worse of the two of these bills introduced in Pennsylvania, has made it out of committee to be voted on in the Senate! Don't let it pass!

I contacted my state rep and asked him to vote NO to this bill!! what about creating a petition for people to sign via e-mail who don't want this bill to pass in our state? because with social media and everyone having a cell phones can't we show strength in number through that? im just trying to come up with something that will help us in the future if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Unfortunately, petitions don't really work. While it might be easier for someone to just attach their name to a petition, I've been told multiple times by professional lobbyists that they are basically worthless. Legislators being flooded with calls, emails, and letters carries much more weight than a petition.

We all need to ban together I"m Talking from dog owners to Dog food company, Garmin, dog toy makers, everyone.. This same bill regarding the low temps and other weather is being tested or made law all over the North/East after this winter. I have been talking to my State Rep. About this along with S. Chisnell and others even PA Game Commission Cause this would make hunting dogs in cold weather illegal in PA for most of the season's such as rabbit and coon. If anyone has any Idea's please let me let me know---

The tethering bill was addressed at our state association meeting that was held this past weekend at the state championship. Please call your representatives! As Sara stated, offices being flooded with calls, emails, and letters is most effective.

S Chisnell what will UKC do if Bill Sb 373 passes in Pa.? for example people show up in summer time an a thunder storm warning has been posted it would make hunting that night Illegal. And hunting in winter where its 32 degs an below it would make it illegal to hunt.

The Senate vote was not even close. We are in trouble. Common sense is gone.

This letter was passed around at Laurel highlands and South Fork and all members were asked to make copies, sign it and mail it in so I'm asking everybody on here to do the same. I'm told these representatives have to document all correspondence they get like this so please everybody copy this letter, put your signature to it and send it in. Somebody already mentioned on here getting a petition started, as Sara said petitions don't really do any good this will. We just have a couple months until this gets voted on again so let's make good use of that time and get our message across!
