Dear Companion Pet Lovers ~
July 1 is just around the corner, and this represents a critical turning point for our signature drive in support of the Ohio Dog Auctions Act!
Voters across the state are communicating with their fellow citizens to gather a goal of a MINIMUM of 120,700 signatures by December 1, 2010 to put the proposed law before the Legislature in January 2011. As of June 1, we have collected 15,472 signatures from Ohio registered voters, representing 12.82% of our MINIMUM goal!
Volunteer petitioners are needed to make this initiative a reality in Ohio -we have until December 1, 2010! We need everyone's participation to make this vital effort a success!
