Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 (thought we could all pass this along to EVERYONE we know; i've been making several calls on behalf of family and friends. you can do the same.) I won't get into details here, as you can find a helpful summary here: http://www.hsus.org/ace/14023, but I urge you to read it. I wish I was delivering good news, but I'm not, which is why I am calling on your for more help!! The Farm Bill has come out of the " conference committee, " where industry-influenced representatives and senators removed every animal-friendly amendment before sending it back to the House and Senate to vote again. Sadly, the House passed this new Farm Bill yesterday, and the Senate is expected to vote on Tuesday May 7. If we can kill it in the senate, we can save billions of lives. If we can't, it is a very, very sad day for the animals we are trying so desperately to protect. These protections are no-brainers; we're not asking for the moon! PLEASE, PLEASE contact your senators and ask your friends and family all over the country to just pick up the phone, dial the Congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121, and ask for the senator. Please urge your sentors to vote NO on the Farm Bill, as it is completely different from the original Farm Bill we urged them to pass several months ago and contains no protections for animals whatsoever. To find your senators, use this resource: http://www.vote-smart.org/index.phtml. PLEASE pass this on! Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
