Send an email ... it's easy!

Here is the actual email I just sent to Councilman Bob Smith of ward 4. It only took a few seconds. Use my sample emails on my web page.

"Dear Councilman Bob Smith:

I am an avid cyclist and have waved to you many times on the bike trail over the years. You once, years ago, spoke to my youngest son and his cub scout den. I live in Ward 5 where Bruce Freeman is my council member. I am just sharing a topic with you that is very important to me, and I wanted to put it on your radar.

If you find the time, please take a moment to visit the web page “Bakersfield Urban Backyard Hens” at: https://thebubh.wixsite.com/bubh

You will find factual and educational information regarding why so many cities in our nation and state are allowing single resident homes within city limits to own a limited number of backyard hens. I am part of an organized group that has a growing number of participants that all share similar opinions on the topic of allowing hens as backyard pets.

I would be interested in hearing your views and thoughts on this topic. I am also available as a knowledgeable resource if you have questions or would like more information on this topic.

I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.

Sincerely,"
