Fighthing BSL on the national level involves several important key factors:

When sending in letters to senators, representatives or council members if you are titled it makes a greater impression.

There are membership organizations, such as the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, The Association of Companion Animal Councelors, American Canine Foundation and other membership organizations you can join, some have other certifications available within their organization.

Example:

Joe Smith
2367 Front St
St Louis MO.
89765
800 444 6666
(ACABC) Association of Companion Animal Behavior Counselors
AKC Exhibitor
UKC Exhibitor
Red Rock Kennels

When writing the letter make sure you place your resume, tell your education
and what you have done regarding canine legislation, it's important because it
shows that not all Rottweiler/Pit Bull owners are criminals.

Example:

Dear Senator Thomas:

My name is Joe Smith, I'm a high school graduate with a family with three
children. I own Pitbulls and have been professionally training dogs
for 15 years in the city of St Louis. In this time I have been active in
canine legislation in various areas of the United States. (name were you
have written letters)

Remember if you are writing letters you are active in legislation
throughout the United States.

When writing a letter you need to make sure you know the reasons that the
city or state is attempting to enact the legislation. Remember you could be
in Texas and writing a letter to Florida you have to make a great impact on
the Legislator or his assistant to have your opinion taken seriously.

Before writing a letter it's always best to do your own research, via the
computer you can look up proposed ordinances and city council agenda, or
state sponsored bills. Sometimes BSL alerts do not always have all the
information needed. There are numerous websites set up for research
information to aid in preparing a letter. You can also place a call to any.
