Dear friends, (Links are posted at the bottom of this message to several items mentioned in this update.) The 2nd reading vote on Bill C-246 is scheduled to take place on September 28, so the time is now to do everything we can to inspire a positive vote. In the last week, I have published two blog posts about Bill C-246. The blog posts are about the apparent lack of understanding of, and concern for, Bill C-246 by some Members of Parliament. Please take a few minutes to read and share the posts (links below). Passing this information along will hopefully help generate more publicity and action around Bill C-246 prior to the vote in the House of Commons on September 28. Also, a friendly reminder to please join our Tweetstorm on September 20 from 7-9pm ET. Even if you don't have a Twitter account or know how to tweet, we will provide all the help you need. The Tweetstorm is to thank MPs who have already committed to voting in favour of Bill C-246. Thank you so much for your ongoing support. ~ Charlene, Mary, and teams LINKS TO BLOG POSTS Blog 1: http://bit.ly/2cQLqtI ("BILL C-246: Over 150,000 "for", 237 "against" improving Canada's animal protection legislation, yet our government is siding with those "against."
