Subject: Dear Hon. Wally Oppal re: Anti-SLAPP Legislation

July 9, 2005

Attention: Honourable Wally Oppal

I am requesting that the anti-SLAPP legislation be reinstated so that those organizations with power and money cannot prevent smaller, less financially stable organizations speak freely without fear of reprisal.

I am currently being sued by the SPCA for vocalizing my concerns regarding animal welfare practises and I feel that the SPCA is using a SLAPP suit to silence me.

I look forward to your response,
