I agree nanny slayer. we need some teeth behind us money needs raised through raffles and aggressively in every possible way we need lawyers more than lobbiest and an articulate figure to get media coverage.I've never joined the assoc because it seems all talk. I want to put some teeth behind the bark and actually do something but I need help my calls havent been returned and messages havent been answered several times from mo hog doggers so I never joined because i cant find out one thing being done besides calling senators. i can think of an dozen different things to do that would help more.ill send my number.
U can't make a difference in an organization unless u are an active member. From the outside u can just complain. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but I know I am a member and officer of our local dog hunters association. I hear people complain and say something needs done then the same person either won't join or won't step up and make an effort to institute change. It takes numbers and dedicated persons to get something done. I would bet if ur local has 1000 members only 10 do all the work and the rest complain nothing is being done. Our group is young and we are trying but a tree was not a tree in a year or even 2. Without the roots it falls and without a trunk it won't stand. Without the leaves it starves. U have to want to be part of it to make it grow.
