Breaking News! AETA vote this Monday - Act Now!

[Guest guest]

This is an alert regarding a national bill

that would have implications for animal activists everywhere. It would

criminalize forms of protest that are legal under the First Amendment if they

are by animal activists and harm the profits of corporations. See info below

for more details. It is crucial that this bill not pass! Please take a moment

to call your representative on Monday! If you’ve never called a

legislator before, don’t be intimidated. The person who answers the call

will not grill you for your reasons or ask for or argue details of the bill.

They may want your name and zip code, and that’s it. They basically are

just tallying the number of calls they receive on each side of particular

issues and usually track where in the district the call is coming from. This

will take less than 2 minutes. You can find your representative’s contact

info at www.house.gov.

Thanks!

BREAKING NEWS

Action Alert -- House Vote on AETA this Monday!

underhanded fast-track maneuver, like the one in the Senate, means that AETA

will not have any debate... only an up/down vote.

morning!
