Bull Reporter (A word to the wise.) |
The first amendment and our breed are under attack!
(A message from Bob Stevens)
This affects YOU - all of you
The federal government has passed new statutes - Section 48 of the U. S. Code.
This law is cracking down on Pit Bulls and owners. On April 23, 2003, they came
to our home in a pre-dawn raid with assault rifles, a search warrant and
confiscated our entire inventory, order book -- everything. We have had nothing
to do with dog fighting and have not been charged with dog fighting. I have been
indicted on three counts of violating this Section 48 federal law, that states
that it is a felony to depict dog fighting, even in a picture, across state
lines. They seek to destroy our book and videos and we are at present in
litigation. They seek a COURT PRECEDENT - allowing them to use this case to
follow up with stronger legislation against the breed and owners. Next is making
magazines, treadmills and breaking sticks illegal and invading the homes of Pit
Bull owners. Are your rights, your home and our American breed worth fighting
for?
My attorney said he can use as many letters about the book and the videos as he
can get, they won't really be read in much detail, it is just so he can
say-"Judge, I have 104 letters (for example) from pit bull owners who
protest the injustice of this case against Bob Stevens' right to market his
DOCUMENTARIES on pit bulls." Something like that.
Take a few minutes, please and write a letter NOW. Please address letters to:
Defense Attorney Michael Novara
Federal Public Defender’s Office
1450 Liberty Center,1001 Liberty Avenue
Pittsburgh, Pa.
1522-3716 (I realize that is not a valid zip code but I assume it will get
delivered anyway.)
Please provide any credentials you have such as "sanctioned show
judge" —or many years weight-pulling competitor, etc. Or many years
breeding Pit Bulls that have been raised in quality American homes. That type of
thing.
Content:
1. The Chapters in the book back up the statements that dog fighting is not
promoted. The primary chapters - over 80% of the book - are the A.D.B.A. Show
Dog, the A.D.B.A. competitive Weight-pulling Dog, The Schutzhund Dog, The Catch
Dog — etc. These chapters educate the reader how to become INVOLVED in these
activities. None of the book, or related videos, advises or in any way
encourages participation in dog fighting. If you are involved in catch work,
point out the dog’s work involves catching and controlling stock —NOT
killing!
2. Mention any good things the book or videos have done for you and/or anyone
you know. If it motivated you in any way to become involved in the healthy
alternative activities (show etc.), that would be worth mentioning. If you are a
member of a Pit Bull club that is active in these activities and the book has in
any way helped - that type of thing would do it.
Please write NOW - they are about to go to trial. In our wildest dreams we would
never have believed that our government would do this to us. We are just normal
law-abiding folks. If they can do it to us they can and will do it to you. Don’t
let this happen to you. Do your part to stop it now.
Please be concise, they do not want long letters. Remember - you are writing,
not just to save the book Dogs of Velvet and Steel - you are fighting to save
the future of the breed as this case is just a stepping stone for them. Let’s
make them stumble - NOW!
Thanks again, yours in Pits, Bob Stevens
**********************
Write a letter for Bob, please. It doesn't have to be fancy, well written or
long, just supportive. Bob is in a lot of trouble--looking at a possible 15
years.
We are all in trouble if this nonsense is allowed to continue and to snowball.
If you really have any bulldog in you and you really care about the breed and
the sport it is time to step up or shut up and quit whining about all the
"unfair laws". Or you can hide in the bushes and wait for them to pick
us off one at a time for any "violation" or "crime" they
dream up. (Ed.)
