Could I ask you to please mention that you've learned from me that this set of recommendations is not from us? While I think this may be innocent, our BLOG has been hacked several times recently so I am doubly concerned about material being attributed to us. Thank You! Patti

Please read below – especially if you are involved in the Missouri ballot issue.


From NAIA:

We need your help...
Currently there is a horrible iniative being labeled the "puppy Mill reform bill", being circulated in Missouri. I am pretty sure it has been posted about already. If not, it can be found on the Missouri Secretary of State’s Website.
This piece of trash is going to nothing to stop puppy mills. It is going to put people out of business basically by cutting down the number of dogs they can have and placing unrealistic rules (i.e. heat for ALL dogs below 48 degrees, no matter the breed). Read it for yourself and you will see. There are things that can be done and I hope to plant some ideas in your
heads on what you as a citizen can do to stop this.

This horrible iniatiative is being circulated now by a PAID firm from Michigan. I have for the past 20 years worked occasionally on initiative petitions in Missouri and various other states,as a circulator or coordinator. I have been paid for my work, and never thought I would be using the very things that have been pulled on me. I have always chosen my issue to work on and wouldn't touch this with a 10 ft pole. Each and every one of these suggestions on what to do has
been done to me as a circulator in the past. If you can stop people from signing you have won a part of the battle.



e-mail me with what you have at [email protected] I can either
get a picture by e-mail or by Text. Send any pictures of petitioners or funny going's on. Make sure you put a place and a date. If you by chance get a name, give me that too. If they give a fake name, we have more fuel. Try to put as much info as possible in the e-mail so I can have a timeline and location.

Something that needs to be done right now is have a print out to hand out to people at these places with the talking points of our opposition. You have as much right to be there handing out literature. It would be a good way to keep signatures from being gotten.
Also, I am suggesting that letters to the editor be written to every newspaper in MO letting people know that these "volunteers" are not volunteers at all, they are paid circulators from out of state. That turns so many people off they will not sign it. After letting people know of this immediate lie that is being told, point out what is so horribly wrong with this initiative.
