"If You'd only told me how you felt..."

Dear Readers,
I don't know how long this will go on, but it's time to take a stand again. I will have more suggestions for you, but here's the first one.
EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS!
August 4 - September 3 -- during this "recess" from work in Washington, D.C., congressmen and senators will be home -- near you.
Check the Internet, newspaper, or call your representative's office to check on her/ his schedule.
Then, at public events -- parades, woodcutting events, state fairs, or whatever -- greet them at a public event with a smile and a request that they please
support S. 311, the bill to ban horse slaughter. If we can "surround" them with attention on this issue and really use the August recess productively, we can help the horses.
Are you nervous about doing this? Afraid to talk to someone so important?
Take a look at a few of these videos and remember WHY you care. Warning, horse slaughter is an ugly business and some of these images are emotionally hard to bear.
