Make a Call - Save a Horse! Today is the day, please....

[Solitaire]

(Copied message from Wayne Pacelle, HSUS)

Time is quickly running out! The U.S. Senate needs to take action on the
American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.

Congress reconvenes mid-November, but they will adjourn for the rest of
the year only days later. If we do not shut the doors on the three
remaining slaughterhouses now, we will have to begin this process again
-- from square one -- when a new Congress convenes in January.

Our next National Call-In Day for Horses is this Wednesday, October 25,
and we must flood Senate offices with phone calls, urging them to
cosponsor S. 1915 as soon as they return from recess. Mark your
calendars now.

Here's what you can do to help:

1. Make the call Oct. 25.

(You can locate the phone numbers for your senators at
http://www.senate.gov ... use the "Find Your Senators" lookup box in the
upper right corner or call the Congressional switchboard at (202)
224-3121.)

If you're not sure what to say, try this: "I am a constituent and I am
calling to ask that the Senator immediately protect our horses from
slaughter and cosponsor S. 1915, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention
Act. I am very concerned about American horses and I don't want them
slaughtered."

2. Let us know you called. Follow up your phone calls by letting us know
you called to support the end of horse slaughter in the United States.

to let us know you called.

Please take both steps! We must light up the phones in the Capitol
because there already is very vigorous lobbying by the slaughter
industry and its allies. We must counter them at every turn.

Thanks to actions from committed animal advocates like you, our last
call-in day was a huge success. The House of Representatives' heard your
voices and overwhelmingly passing the measure on Sept. 7 by a 263-146
margin, and if the Senate immediately follows suit, our horses will
permanently be protected from the clutches of the slaughterhouse
butchers.

Please encourage your friends and family to make the call, too. Your
calls will not only make a difference, they will help make history. Help
us end horse slaughter in the United States forever.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
