Politicians & Their Associates...

Candy Beck of New Mexico Greyhound Connection speaks out about greyhound adoption, greyhound racing and Grey2K USA (Grey2K) with regards to the Florida issues.
Candy Beck:

"I have been involved in greyhound adoption since 1997 and have run my own adoption group since 2003, I also own an actively racing greyhound. My greyhound races in Florida at Orange Park Kennel Club in Jacksonville. I am licensed with the State of Florida and have paid a license fee to the State of Florida.

It appears that Senator Maria Sachs of Florida has swallowed the Grey2K party line - hook, line and sinker as she parroted all the talking points of Grey2K. I would have hoped that someone such as the Senator would have done a bit of research and looked at both sides of the issue before aligning herself with a group such as Grey2K, and against the interests of those in her state who make a living, pay taxes and contribute to the coffers of the State of Florida.

Just a couple of facts about Grey2K
1. Grey2K is known for distorting the facts. On Nov. 6,2000, the Boston Herald called Grey2K's campaign to ban greyhound racing in Massachusetts "...a ruthless campaign of deceit, distortion and defamation of character".

2. Grey2K provides NO direct services to greyhounds. Grey2K's 2008 IRS 990 return reveals that the organization spends nothing-zero-on direct services to benefit greyhounds or adoption. Instead, 53% of its budget goes to lobbying. (www.guidestar.org)
It is my hope that Florida does not lose live greyhound racing due to the misinformation and lies of those whose agenda is not about the greyhounds, but about lining their own pockets. Thanks to racing, greyhounds are well adjusted and social animals. They are wonderful dogs that are treasured by adopters all over the United States due to their breeding, careful raising, and racing... not in spite of it.

Please folks, do some homework.  Do not swallow the whole Grey2K line - hook, line and sinker. Save the racing greyhound from Grey2K!"

Addendum From Grey2K Lies

Make no mistake folks, Senator Sachs, who is running for re-election in 2012, is an animal rights activist.  There cannot be any other reason for her actions, her joining ranks with Grey2K USA and their radical agenda, which is based upon Christine Dorchak's association with radicals such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Humane Society of the US (HSUS), and Ingrid Newkirk of PeTA!

Index List of Animal Liberation Front's "Saints - Hall of Fame" files. Please note Christine Dorchak in purple.


Senator Sachs, in addition to falling for the "kool-aid" of Grey2K, has also accepted money and an endorsement from them, as have many other politicians.  You have to ask yourself...  WHO are they representing?  Are they representing you? Or, are they representing the 2% who would do away with our ownership of  and interactions with animals?



You have to ask yourself, do you really want politicians in office who associate and support a woman closely affiliated with a domestic terrorist group - ALF???  Here's what the FBI has to say about ALF...


So, who are these politicians who are lauded by Grey2K and their minions???  Here are a couple...

Florida
Representative Dana Young
Senator Maria Sachs
Senator Don Gaetz
Rep Vic Williams & Karen Zoldan
Representative Joe Abruzzo

Arizona
Representative Nancy Young Wright
Representative Vic Williams

Iowa
Representative Mary Mascher

Pennsylvania
Senator Stewart Greenleaf

In the image at right, Rep. Vic Williams of Arizona is accepting a Grey2K USA award for his support of Grey2K USA rather than for his support of the good people of Arizona. Many of the good people of Arizona lost their livelihoods because of Rep. Williams support of Grey2K.

Karen Zoldan, the presenter, is known for making very offensive remarks such as, "Middle class, educated, white people don't go to bet on the dogs. That is Skechers or the TGP's (Tucson Greyhound Park) wet dream."

And, "If you drive by where the dogs are kept, it looks like Auschwitz..."

If I were a politician, I sure wouldn't want to be seen with a person who makes remarks like that!


When will GREY2K USA tell the world exactly what the involvement of its President/Treasure/General Counsel (yes the wife of the husband and wife dictatorship team of GREY2K USA holds all three titles) with ALF might be?

The public has a right to know who they are working with and what other organizations they “the leadership team” of GREY2K USA have ties with! What is wrong with a little transparency of an organization that relies on the public for its finances and salaries?

Birds of a feather flock together and perhaps if one bird in the flock is deemed to be what the FBI labeled a “threat to our society” then other birds of the flock probably have similar ideas and beliefs.  That includes those running for public office.

Yours in greyhounds...
