Please understand, signing internet petitions doesn't do a darn thing.
Please, please, please, please MAIL a real letter to the congressmen and senators, CALL their offices on the phone. It's far too easy to fake an internet crowd, but if hundreds of real letters and phone calls speaking of this outrage deluge them, they will take notice. Be honest with yourself, how many times do you think a man as busy as a state senator logs on to Facebook ?
Hit them with something they can't ignore. Remember in "It's a Wonderful Life" ? The court declared Santa Claus real when an avalanche of letters was delivered to the courthouse. So, let's show these fools we MEAN business! Avalanche these offices with letters, bombard them with phone calls, make them understand our pets are worth the cost of a postage stamp, the price of a long distance phone call. My little girl is sending letters to the Illinois lawmakers for crying out loud! What's your excuse for taking the easy way out ?
Here is a link to a very helpful post. It's time to stop whining and start fighting back!!
