This is important. Animals need your help NOW.
The House-Senate conference committee that will negotiate a final Farm Bill is working now.
We need to convince them to drop the King Amendment.
Don’t know what the King Amendment is? It’s an amendment that would over-rule the laws in individual states that enforce stricter animal care standards. Read more about it here.
And this from a legislator who supports states’ rights!
I’m asking you to please do your part to strike down the King Amendment.
Our best bet to defeat this amendment is to have it removed during conference committee. You can help make that happen.
Please make a brief, polite phone call to these four leaders of this conference committee, and ask them to remove the King amendment from the final Farm Bill:
- Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.: 202-224-4822
- Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.: 202-224-5054
- Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla.: 202-225-5565
- Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn.: 202-225-2165
You can say: “I’m a concerned citizen, and I’m calling to urge you to oppose the King amendment and remove it from the Farm Bill. It’s a dangerous and radical attack on states’ rights.”
The argument that it attacks states’ rights is to get the more conservative members on board.
I called yesterday and was able to talk to staff for Stabenow and Lucas. I left a message for Cochran. The voice mail was full for Peterson, so I’ll hit him up again today.
Will you please call today? For animals?
Thank you.

I emailed the two senators, but the webpages for the House Reps won’t let me email them because I am not in their districts. I plan to call them today. The phone # for Lucas is 202-225-5565 and the number for Peterson is 202-225-2165. Thanks for your efforts, Rumpy!
yeah, I tried emailing Peterson when I couldn’t leave a voice mail. Makes me wonder why they get to make decisions that impact those outside their districts but they don’t have to listen to those people.
Just got through to Peterson!
Good for you! Me next!
Yay!
Done and done!
we’ll call today!
Please ask all your friends to also!

Done!
you rock! thank you!
Done! I just sent an email to my Rep…now my fingers are crossed…
Please call the ones listed too. Removing the amendment during conference is our best chance of defeating it.
okay
Done…I talked to two humans and left two messages…I hope it helps.
I’ve also gotten this reminder from some other groups I follow so the word is getting out.
Thanks for providing the numbers instead of emails. I think they get a little more attention.
Some won’t accept emails if you don’t live in their district.
Puppy mills are bad enough, but considered animal agriculture! We’re not food! Woo, Ku
