protect our guide dogs from attacks and interference. Please see below for more
details and feel free to share this message with friends, family and anyone else
who lives in New Jersey!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=843052220-19012011> </SPAN>Dear Seeing Eye Family, </FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you live in New Jersey, we need your help keeping
Seeing Eye dogs and puppies safe from attacks and interference.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>New Jersey Assembly Bill 832 and its companion,
Senate Bill 1154, would make it a criminal offense for a person to harm a guide
dog, and increase the penalties for harming police dogs and search and rescue
dogs. These bills have stalled in committee and are in danger of not being heard
or signed into law. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please call or email the chairs of the Assembly and
Senate committees that are charged with hearing these bills and make your voices
heard. It is important to urge them to add the bills to the schedule for the
next possible hearing date, and to amend the bill by adding penalties for dog
owners who allow their dogs to attack guide dogs and puppies.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Be sure to mention the bill number (A832 or S1154),
your name and address, and one or two short paragraphs about who you are and why
keeping Seeing Eye dogs & puppies safe is important to you. If you or
someone you know has a guide dog or has raised a Seeing Eye puppy or experienced
interference or attacks, include your experiences when you write your letter.
It's crucial that our state officials understand the importance of Seeing Eye
dogs and puppies.</FONT></P>
