Here is an important update about SB 666. If you have not read about it before, you can catch up by reading my previous pub about it:

Since I last wrote about this bill that threatens to put an end to Project Bow, I have been to Jefferson City and met with my Missouri State Senator, Chuck Purgason. I gave Senator Purgason a copy of When Sword Met Bow and of the 2005 Project Bow DVD, and I spoke to him about how Bow was born in Missouri, how I came to this state to start Project Bow, and how we will have to leave if SB 666 passes. He was very sympathetic, and he told me that he was the only one who voted against the bill in committee.
This is good to know, and it means that we now need to focus on all the other senators. Because the bill is out of committee, and it is now going to the Senate floor. It is number six on the list today. They could well get to it.
If you are a supporter of Project Bow, please call as many of the senators as you can and tell them to vote NO! We know that Senator Purgason is for us. We also know that Senator Munzlinger is against us. (His assistant called me and told me there was no hope, and that the best they could do was amend micro-chipping to tatooing — the way they did with concentration camp victims.) But all the other Senators are probably just wanting to know which way the wind is blowing. Let’s call and let them know it’s blowing our way!

I just wanted to share some good news for a change. My state senator, Chuck Purgason, really came through for us yesterday. He blasted the opposition and said there was no need for SB666 because there is no “Ape Problem” in Missouri. The bill has been shelved on the informal calendar, where hopefully it will die!
If you are one of the people who helped by calling Senator Purgason’s office, please drop him a line to say thank you. He is my hero!
