Hi -
I have received permission to forward this to you.
Here's a letter - I left out the sender's name - that we can all send to the Mayor of Long Beach.
If you want to send out a letter yourself, rephase this so they sound a bit different.
Include your personal specifics.
Diane Young McCormack
To Mayor Bob FosterLong,
Beach Convention Bureau and the AKC:
In response to Long Beach Assembly Members vote
in support of Assembly Bill AB 1634 on June 6
I would like to notify you that not only will
I be asking my clubs and friends and the AKC
to withdraw the AKC Eukanuba Invitational
from Long Beach, CA I will be boycotting businesses
in Long Beach and the district.
I had personally spoken to both offices of Long Beach
Assembly Members Staff on the telephone twice on
June 6 in the afternoon and evening and was assured
their vote would not be for this bill
and would remain ABSTAIN.
This isnât waiting for Eukanuba shows... this is starting now.
Iâve already changed my hotel plans for the upcoming shows.
I will not be spending any money in the City Of Long Beach.
I will spend money at the show supporting vendors
who are not from Long Beach and who support the
Opposition to AB 1634.
June 22 Long Beach Kennel Club
June 23 Kennel Club of Beverly Hills
June 24 Great Western Terrier Association
June 24 Toy Dog Breeders Association of Southern California,Inc.
Long Beach, take a look at the protest in Louisville KY -
this will happen to you and your businesses.
I will be looking into the businesses I order from on line
and if any happen to be in your District I, will notify them
due to their District Assembly Members support of AB1634
I will not support them.
Regards,
(name deleted)

Re: Letter to the Mayor of Long Beach
I dropped a note off to the Oakland Mayor,as well. A boycott(or threat a boycott) of the show would definitely send a message!
If the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter.
