Ohio Residents:

***Please remember to be polite and respectful in ALL correspondence***

(1)     Contact Your Representative:   

• Draft a PERSONALIZED LETTER to your house representative. 
  To determine who is your representative, please visit: Ohio Representatives by County.

• In the letter, indicate that you are a constituent, that you oppose Bill 568, that you will leave Ohio if this passes (if that is the case) and that you want your representative to oppose the Bill. 

• At the end of the letter, please put your full name, address, phone number and email so your representative can contact you, if desired.

• Try not to send a form letter because our representatives know when they receive the same letter multiple times.  It does not look good!

• For talking points for your letters, please visit:  http://www.animallawcoalition.com/breed-bans/article/524.

                  PLEASE SEND OUT YOUR LETTER IMMEDIATELY!!!

• CALL your representative to express your opposition and to urge your representative's opposition.

• You will most probably get your reps voicemail.  Tell him/her that you will fight this all the way.  Remember to leave your name, city of residence and phone number.  Please plan what to say prior to making the call.

       PHONE CALLS MAKE THE MOST IMPACT!

IMPORTANT:    PHONE CALLS AND PERSONALIZED LETTERS SENT THROUGH THE MAIL MAKE THE MOST 
                           IMPACT.  PLEASE ONLY SEND EMAILS ONCE YOU HAVE FIRST SENT YOUR LETTERS AND MADE
                           YOUR PHONE CALLS!!!!!!

• E-MAIL your representative.

• Express your opposition to H.B. 568.

• Indicate that you will leave Ohio if this Bill passes.

• Ask your representative to vote against H.B. 568.

• Provide your full name, address, phone number and email at the end of the e-mail.

• For talking points, please visit:  http://www.animallawcoalition.com/breed-bans/article/524.

(2)     Contact Leadership:  (Click Here for Leadership contact information.)

• Draft a PERSONALIZED LETTER.

• If you desire, use the letter you sent to your representative and revise it slightly.

• Although you may not be a constituent, you are an Ohio resident and should indicate that much.  Leadership expects to hear from Ohio residents from all over Ohio.

• Change the name and address of the recipient and any other information that was specific to your representative.  Please make sure to address a separate letter to each member of the leadership.

• Call each member of the leadership.  You will probably get voicemail but please leave your name, city of residence and phone number.  Please plan what you will say prior to making the call.

           ***At this point, we do not want emails sent to leadership.***
