Today in Los Angeles, Assembly member Lloyd Levine, co-author Judie Mancuso and retired Price is Right host Bob Barker kicked off their campaign to re-launch California Assembly Bill AB 1634, the mandatory statewide spay/neuter law.
“Since the end of the legislative session, our coalition has been working…to strengthen Assembly Bill 1634", said Levine. “I am confident that with the work we’ve put in, 2008 is going to be a successful year for our bill.”
Read the Levine-Barker Press Release
We must unite once again to fight AB 1634. We stopped it last year and, with your help, we can defeat it again – once and for all. We need to raise the resources necessary to fight our opponents false claims and misrepresentations. Please make a contribution today.
Help pass the word that our opponents are once again trying to pass AB 1634.
Sincerely,
Bill Hemby
