Much like a disease-riddled cockroach, a bad bill is very difficult to kill. After resurrecting mandatory sterilization for pets yet again, the California assembly today wisely let the bill die a natural death.
At 10:10pm, on the fourth vote this evening on the Assembly Floor for the Motion to Reconsider re SB250 (today's file Item #43), the motion was finally granted.
At 10:22pm, (CA) SB250 was brought for a vote on the Assembly Floor. Mr. Blumenfield moved the call as he did "not" get the votes.
Here were some of the comments prior to the vote:
Mr. Blumenfield asked for an AYE vote.
Mr. Norby stated "We voted on this how many times? I say sterilize the bill."
Mr. Hagman stated "We need to vote this down."
And, finally, Mr. Calderon rose to state "I can't understand that this bill is about euthanasia yet it just won't die!"
Speaker Pro Tempore Fiona Ma lifted the call for SB250. Here is the (unofficial) tally:
YES ... 27
NO ... 39
'THE MEASURE FAILS'
Official time of death: August 31, 2010 11:47 p.m.
Californians are sick and tired of bills that criminalize law-abiding citizens for unobjectionable acts that are well within their constitutional rights. Yet we know that the HSUS and Judie Mancuso have proclaimed their intent to continue the assault on our personal freedoms.
We are organized. We are determined. We are mad as hell and not going to take it any more!
We continue to stand in solidarity against tyranny and oppression.
Ding Dong SB 250 is DEAD!

HSUS on top 10 list for Domestic Terrorism Org
Nothing speaks volumes like this report from the Department of Homeland Security. It is an Executive Ordered 2008 DHS Report. Pacelle has tried to quash its impact with feeble attempts to have his "associates" dispute it. The report stands as no one but a President can rescind an Executive Order. Read the whole report and don't miss Page 9... where two of Pacelle's organizations, HSUS and Fund For Animals are cited as terror support groups

Are You Concerned?
To Whom It May Concern:
Many of us across the nation and here in California watched with horror while mandatory sterilization (MSN) was put into place in one of the largest metropolitan cities in our country: Los Angeles.
We warned them it would mean more lives would be lost.
Judie Mancuso, the bill's sponsor, denied it. Ed Boks, the LAAS Director, denied it. The City Council denied it.
We urged them to embrace no-kill sheltering policies that are a proven formula for successfully reducing killing in shelters, in other words, proven to SAVE LIVES.
Senators and Assembly Members alike also turned a deaf ear to our
pleas to truly protect homeless and lost pets with PROVEN life saving programs. Not a one wanted to touch statewide no-kill implementation.
Why? Perhaps we have not lined their pockets with silver?
Today, Los Angeles finally submitted its rabies data to the California Dept. of Health.
Once again, MSN has proven to be a killer as 12, 272 more dogs were killed and 16,115 more were impounded than in 2008. The cats fared better, perhaps, since LAAS has a harder time "finding" them. Go cats! Hide for your lives! And while you are at it, take care of that overpopulation of vermin in Los Angeles, especially in Beverly Hills.
On the other hand, Santa Cruz county as usual has not reported.
I ask those to whom this may concern, call your Assembly Member and Senator and ask for No-Kill programs to be supported shelter to shelter instead of the increased killing that MSN brings.
Thank you!

California passes law barring landlords from requiring declawing
Declaw and debark are supposedly "inhumane"? And yet many legislators and animal rights groups want to force our pets to undergo sterilization surgery? How hypocritical!
Bottom line, surgery on a pet should be the prerogative of the owner.
Calif. passes bill barring forced pet declawing
Wednesday, August 25, 2010
(08-25) 16:29 PDT Sacramento, Calif. (AP) --
California lawmakers have approved a bill that would prohibit landlords from requiring tenants to declaw or devocalize their pets in order to move in.
The state Assembly on Thursday passed the bill by a 44-10 vote, sending it to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The bill's author, Democratic Assemblyman Pedro Nava, says it is unconscionable for landlords to require pet owners to subject their animals to permanent surgeries as a condition of tenancy.
Under AB2743, landlords would be fined $1,000 for demanding those procedures in a lease agreement.
Eight local governments in California recently banned the practice of cat declawing, calling it inhumane.

Calls needed for SB 250
SB 250 is in the assembly and may be reconsidered for a vote during tomorrow's session. This bill is bad news! It mandates sterilization for the vast majority of California's dogs and cats.
Call your assembly member to ask for a no vote or an abstention on SB 250. The measure may be called for a re-vote any time before Aug 31. Below is a list of the assembly members with their vote from August 26th. Thank those who voted "no" or abstained, and respectfully request those who voted "Yes" to change their vote or abstain. Remind them that the California Dept of Finance is opposed to SB 250 because it will increase shelter numbers and inevitably raise costs.
