Will You Help Get Out the Vote for California's Farm Animals?

 

 

Help spread the word! Get fun campaign gear and wear it to an event

near you.

 

Good news! The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act will be on the

2008 California ballot! The Act will prevent California factory farms

from confining animals in the most restrictive crates or cages --

specifically, veal crates for calves, battery cages for egg-laying

hens, and gestation crates for breeding pigs.

 

Our signature gathering team amassed nearly 800,000 signatures to

qualify for the ballot. This was an amazing feat, and I'm so grateful

to the more than 4,000 volunteers who worked so hard to secure a place

on the ballot for this anti-cruelty measure.

 

Now it's time to turn up the volume on this campaign. We're on the

ballot, but to win this victory for farm animals we need every

concerned Californian to vote " YES " on the Prevention of Farm Animal

Cruelty Act on November 4 (we'll have a ballot number in a few

months). Our opposition has already enlisted high-priced political

consultants who are focused the task of tearing down the ballot

initiative. And with the big bucks of agribusiness, we know we are

going to have a tough fight.

 

We need you to be a part of the get out the vote effort to ensure that

voters have the facts. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend

an event near you to regroup with other volunteers and learn about the

important and fun ways you can help get out the vote.
