We Won! Now What?

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance reports that:

"California sportsmen have derailed legislation that would have outlawed the breeding of accomplished sporting dogs and eventually made it impossible to breed and own hunting dogs. On July 11, AB 1634 was pulled from the Senate Local Government Committee agenda after the bill’s sponsor, Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys, realized it did not have enough support to pass. The bill, which cannot be considered again during this legislative session..."

In short, we won. Or they loss. Take your pick. Now what? Doing nothing is not an opton. Our side needs to be proactive, because if we are only reactive long enough, they will eventually win. And once is all it takes. . . . See this post for some small ideas to re-frame the debate.
