There are a lot of dog guide users & members of the Federation that are not on the list serve, perhaps you are, a designated caller, can call each chapter president and ask them to make calls to their members, and ask for them to call as well. I would volentier but I don't have all distance, and I am saving my calling card for legislative or committee calls.

<div>
<div>I really appreciate having you active in this fight. I went back and reread my email, and I can't see where I did put an email address that people were supposed to use. Your screen access software may be focusing in on the physical address
or the phone number. I do not have an email address to use it this time, but I think that's a good thing. I like phone calls because they are quick, and you can't sit there overanalyzing them while you're doing them. </div>

<div>Fellow Federationists:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you want to see guide dogs taken out of SB 234?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If enough of us do actually want it, we will get it done.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The bill was referred six days ago to the Committee on Appropriations, which means we have another round of calls to make. If we call the office of:</div>
<div> </div>

<div> </div>
<div>…and if we tell them that we want guide dogs taken out of this bill, we stand a good chance.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here’s the secret, though:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If we want to get this done, we can’t sit back and hope that other people will do it. We have to do it as individuals. I used to put things like this on the back burner with the hope that I’d get to it sooner or later, and then I’d stumble
across my reminder note to do it when it was too late. Please take just a minute to call the Appropriations Committee. It will pay off!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many of us have been working diligently so far, and we need to keep that up. If more of our members join in the fight, we might actually win.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We’ve got a guide dog school coming out against the bill, and it’s great to have them on our side.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let’s keep at it!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yours always,</div>
