sitaangelURGENT ALERT! DECEMBER 5 SPECIAL NATIONAL CALL-IN DAY IN SUPPORT OF
S. 1915
LAST CHANCE TO END HORSE SLAUGHTER IN THE US!
As you surely already know, S. 1915 –the sister bill of HR 503- is
waiting to be considered on the Senate floor.
While our bill awaits to be called for a vote, it has been reported
that pro-slaughter pressure on legislators has greatly increased in
an attempt to wane our ranks of supporters in the Senate and defeat
the bill, which can be fatal due to the tight Senate schedule, making
it vital to counter this pro-slaughter build-up with a flood of calls
and faxes in support of the bill and urging Senators to bring it up
for a vote as demanded by a vast majority of the American people.
As the current Congress draws to a close, the situation becomes even
more critical. Next Tuesday, December 5th, Congress will reconvene
from the Thanksgiving recess for a brief two-weeks period of
legislative activity before the current legislature ends; this small
window is our last chance to pass the bill. If HR 503/S.1915 is not
passed before Congress adjourns it will die and we will have to start
all over from zero next year, dooming hundred of thousands of
American horses to a cruel death and horrible, needless suffering at
the three, foreign-owned horse slaughter plants.
To counter the pro-slaughter attempts to defeat our bill and urge
Senators to bring it up for consideration immediately, the HSUS has
organized an Special National Call-In Day for next Tuesday, December
5th, in which all Americans are urged to contact their Senators
asking them to cosponsor and vote for S. 1915.
In order to achieve this goal and provide support to next Tuesday's
National Call-In Day campaign we have organized a special calling and
faxing effort for tomorrow. In this special calling and faxing effort
we should call and fax as many Senators as we can, putting emphasis
on those Senators who voted for the Ensign-Byrd Amendment last year,
your own two US Senators and especially on the Majority Leader, Sen.
Bill Frist, since the decision to call the bill for a vote relies on
him.
Next Tuesday, the 5th, please call and fax as many Senators as you
can to their DC offices asking them to cosponsor and vote for S. 1915
and keep calling and faxing during the whole day. Also, please call
and fax Sen. Bill Frist, even if you are not a constituent, asking
him to both cosponsor and bring it up for a vote on the Senate floor.
In addition, please forward this alert to all yours contacts (family,
friends, co-workers, etc…) and ask them to do the same.
It is extremely important that as many people as possible contact
Senators in support of S.1915 in order to counter the lies and the
pressure of the pro-slaughter forces and their expensive lobbyists
and bring it up for consideration on the Senate floor. Remember that
this is our last chance to save horses from slaughter; if HR
503/S.1915 is not passed before Congress adjourns we will have to
start all over from zero next year and hundred of thousands of horses
will pay the price of our defeat with their lives. Failure is not an
option. Please, be sure to share this alert with everybody you know
and ask them to take part on this campaign.

voted on the Ensign-Byrd Amendment. You can download a copy of
