Hi Fellow PetPac members. My dog Nemo has been entered into the Bissell Company's MVP contest (Most Valuable Pet). The grand prize is $10,000 donated to a pet cause of the winner's choice. Mr. Nemo was an important part in our lobbying efforts against AB1634 so of course if he wins, the prize will be donated to PetPac. We have an opportunity here to raise people's awareness of PetPac's mission and hopefully garner some financial support as well. This contest is a symbolic reminder, especially in this particular year, about the importance of one vote.
We affect change in our country through the political process. We do that not only by voting but by coming together as communities of like minded interests. PetPac is one such community - for the first time - a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting the rights of animals and their owners. For too long we were complacent, thinking pets were too popular and the animal rights groups could not possible get a foothold. We have learned and are learning more every day that we were wrong - that while we stuck our head in the sand, the AR interests in this country were gathering strength, money and most importantly political savy. On PetPac's Blog page back in July, I wrote a piece called Keeping Our Voices Heard, which I ask you to read again since it is as important today as then. In that I urged us all to "start with one simple thing". We have a way today to start with that one simple thing. I ask you to place a symbolic vote by voting for Nemo in the Bissell contest. Let us tell the whole country that ALL of our pets are MVP's and finally, they and we have a voice to protect our rights.
Nemo and I thank you for your support and look forward to working with all of you in the future in support of our rights and freedoms.
