Sample Letter to State Legislators

 

The Honorable (Legislator's Name)
His/her address
City, State, Zip

Dear Representatiive / Senator Name:

     Thank you for co-sponsoring AB-250 / I respectfully request that you support AB-250, the Commercial Dog Breeders Licensure Bill.

     I believe that people who sell more than 25 dogs per year should be licensed and inspected. This type of legislation will go a long way to protecting consumers, too. These measures are long overdue.

     AB250 will not only be budget-neutral and self-funded through licensing fees, but its enforcement may actually ADD to state tax revenues by forcing businesses to accurately report their income and charge state sales tax on their “products.” Everyone dealing in pets should pay a fair share of taxes.

      I appreciate your consideration of this issue and thank you for your concern for animals.

Sincerely,
Your Name
Your Address

Please note: You MUST include your name and address. Your legislator won't pay much attention to what you have to say if this information isn't included--if your letter even reaches his/her desk.
