Don’t forget to vote!
Our lawmakers, who decide whether or not to pass breed-specific legislation, are elected to positions of power by “we the people.”
Although this is an off-year for many of us, some areas are voting lawmakers in and out of office.
Do you know where your local lawmakers stand on BSL? Are they up for re-election this year?
Do you know what issues are being voted on this year?
The method for getting the answers to these questions is a little bit different from place to place, but you can almost always get a starting point with a simple Google query like “2009 elections [your state]“.
You may need to personally call or e-mail incumbents and their opponents to find out whether they support BSL; this issue isn’t usually covered in standard media interviews.
Feel free to post your lawmakers’ feelings about BSL here (don’t forget to include their name and location).
