Bet I got your attention there! Alas, in our household, we do not have a democracy with the dogs. We are benign, firm but fair, dictators. The dogs seem quite happy with this though occasionally they hold out for an extra treat :).
Our nation has shown what a true democracy is this year by our national election. By & large things proceeded peacefully. We had oversight to ensure fair voting & a choice of candidates.
This year, perhaps for the first time ever, DWAA will hold a true democratic election. We have a choice of candidates, ballots have been mailed & presumably there are safe guards in place to guarantee a fair election. So this is your big chance if you are a Professional DWAA member to exercise the chance to vote in TWO national elections in one year!
Of course, I hope that you choose to vote for me for President, Susan McCullough for Vice President & Liz Palika for Secretary. We feel that DWAA has been well served by many of its officers in the past but that some change is needed to face the new century. It is important that our organization stands for a free press & represents all of our members.
We feel that we can do the best possible job of representing all of you. We have a wide range of journalistic experience from award winning books to shelter writings to widespread magazines - both in dogs & outside our fancy. We have extensive experience within the dog fancy, including work with rescues & shelters, competing in top level purebred dog competitions & doing therapy work.
Together we represent a team that can work together & work for YOU!
If you have thoughts on the future of DWAA as you would like to see it, please feel free to post here.

ladies, although I recognized the purpose of your blog as a political venue, I've received the messages by RSS and have enjoyed reading most of them. Thank you for the additional voice and I wish everyone running best of wishes.
