They have announced a live auction of a "registered black lab puppy." Regardless of the political affiliation of the organizer, this is a very bad idea, and in fact similar types of live puppy auctions has been successfully refuted and stopped at many other charity events (including last year at the prestigious Georgetown Visitation School in Washington, DC, whose event was

cancelled after public outcry). Here is a Marin County, CA article on exactly why this is such a bad thing to do - the puppy mill from which the pup likely came, the disregard for the life of the pup and proper adoption screening procedures, etc: http://www.golden-rescue.org/newsletter/puppyauctions.htm Please everyone take the time right now to call & protest: Sussex County Republican Party: 302-651-0260 Baywood Golf and Country Club: 302-947-9225 Thank you, Sincerely, Patricia Haddock 302-858-5104 phhaddock Boston, Ft.
