Hi everyone,

 

Citizen Lobbyist Week starts on Monday, Jan. 11, and we wanted to give you one

last chance to join the team! PCRM is stepping up its efforts to end the U.S.

military's cruel and unnecessary use of animals in medical training courses, and

we need your help by visiting your representative's in-district office.

Participate in our Citizen Lobbyist Week, and you can help us turn H.R. 4269,

the BEST Practices Act, into law.

 

Here's how it works:

 

First, e-mail your U.S. representative’s district office and request a meeting

for the week of Jan. 11-15, 2010. You can also call the office. (When you call,

make sure to ask for an appointment at the office closest to you.) Find your

congressperson and his/her office number here: http://votesmart.org/

 

When you contact the office, use these talking points:

 

* I am calling to request a meeting with your U.S. representative’s office the

week of Jan. 11.

 

* I would like to discuss H.R. 4269, the BEST Practices Act, which would improve

military medical training.

 

Next, join one of the Nationwide Conference Calls with PCRM staff--TONIGHT, Jan.

7. We will give you a run-down on what to expect at your meeting and answer all

of your last-minute questions. The calls will take place at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.

EST on Thursday, Jan. 7. Dial in at whichever time is more convenient for you.

Here's the number: 866-796-3865.

participating. You can contact me at ngittell We look forward to

working with you and the rest of our Citizen Lobbyist Team! Thank you for your

help.

 

Very truly,
