From Across The Country


URGENT CALL TO ACTION HR6598

FROM HSUS AND AMERICANS AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER

It’s a good day for horses! Please lend your voice and passion to the momentum of the final push to ban horse slaughter.

This is the final push for this Congressional Session to finally end horse slaughter!! If this bill fails, we will have to start all over in January 2009!

H.R. 6598 , the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act, passed the House Judiciary Committee today (by a voice vote) and we have very little time to help move this bill through the legislative process. We URGENTLY need to build up the co-sponsorship list of H.R. 6598, which currently has 100 co-sponsors. Time is RUNNING OUT for Members to co-sponsor this bill ! Please click here to see if your U.S. Representative is a co-sponsor of H.R. 6598.

Please contact the Capitol Switchboard [202-224-3121] and ask to be transferred to your Representative. Unsure of who your Representative is? Please visit ( www.hsus.org/leglookup )

Please let your Representative know that you are a constituent and that you want your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 6598, the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act. Call now!
Call until the bill is passed! Together, we can end the slaughter!
