Update 9/30/06, http://capwiz.com/ bigcatrescue/issues/alert/?alertid=9014956
The Senate companion bill S3880 passed as amended on the night of 9/29/06 by Unanimous Consent. That means not one Senator opposed the bill. There was an amendment made at the last minute, but it was not substantial enough to protect your Free Speech. The House adjourned for recess without taking any action, so it will still have to go over to the House during the next session which begins Nov. 9 and may last until Christmas. It is more imperative than ever that you contact your Representative in the House and ask them to vote against this bill.

If HR 4239 becomes law, anyone who causes an animal industry to lose 10,000 in revenues by exposing their abusive practices could be fined, jailed and labeled a terrorist. This bill contains vague wording that purposely has been proposed to stop those who would speak up for the animals from being able to freely do so. It is a violation of our first amendment and yet all of your Senators passed it by Unanimous Consent and a dozen Representatives have signed up as co-sponsors...

Coordinating Meeting of AR Groups to Stop AETA from Becoming Law
It is imperative that we reach each and every member of the House of Representatives to convey to them the need to stop this legislation from going forward. All national groups are invited to join.
