National Call In Day!!!!

If you are like us and cannot be there in Washington to lobby for the Horses, the next best thing is to call in and light up the Capitols Switchboard.

Congress returns from its August recess on Sept. 5. Be there to welcome them back and urge them to take action on several important animal protection issues. The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on the <A title=https://community.hsus.org/campaign/FED_2006_horses_cosponsorhouse3 href="https://community.hsus.org/campaign/FED_2006_horses_cosponsorhouse3" target=_blank rel=nofollow _="">American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503) in early September. We need to be there to urge them to pass this important piece of animal protection legislation. H.R. 503 would put an end, once and for all, to the slaughter of American horses for human consumption. The legislation enjoys consistently broad and bipartisan support in the House, with 200+ cosponsors.

National Call-In Day for Horses: Sept. 6
9 a.m.–5 p.m.
We need your help to light up the phones on Capitol Hill. Call your U.S. Representative on Wednesday, Sept. 6 and show your support for American horses. Our opponents are vigorously lobbying to keep the horse slaughter industry alive and well. We must send a clear message that Americans do not want our horses butchered and shipped overseas. You can reach your Representative through the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or <A title=http://community.hsus.org/humane/leg-lookup/search.html href="http://community.hsus.org/humane/leg-lookup/search.html" target=_blank rel=nofollow _="">click here to look up his or her phone number. All you need to say is:

"I am a constituent and I am calling to ask that the Representative please protect American horses from slaughter and support H.R. 503, the Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. I am very concerned about American horses and I don't want them slaughtered. "
