Save The Horses!

Yesterday, I received this from my friend, Paula Bacon, and I think we Texans need to help save our horses. Please call your representative today.

Hi! Good things are happening fast.. Our people in DC are saying we have an excellent opportunity enacting into law this new bill that criminalizes horse slaughter and aims particularly at the killer buyers. The Judiciary House committee hears it on Thursday the 31st. The Judiciary Comm. already supports the ban on horse slaughter and, the Chair Conyers (D) and the ranking member Burton (R) are the bill's sponsors, H.R. 6598.

Would you please make calls on Wednesday? Not just you but everyone in your household's name, your n'bors, relatives.If they are too busy you can call for them. Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121, ask for your Representative’s office. Polite and respectful but we are never going away until we have a federal ban on horse slaughter.

We have the votes once it reaches the floor in both the House and Senate, by a very wide margin. Please help get this done THIS session, this year...
