Don't count on somebody else to get this done. There are thousands
of us on the horse rescue sites but not enough people making the calls. There is much work to be done for any hope of
getting new House bill, H.R.6598, passed this session. Otherwise, we will need to start all over again when the new
legislature convenes in January and we will have wasted another year. Although the current members of Congress are on
summer break until September, there are still aides in their Washington offices that are in contact.
Below
are names of House members that did NOT support H.R.503 and so far have NOT co-sponsored H.R.6598. If you have never
made a call before, please do so now. The toll free numbers are 1-800-828-0498, 1-800-614-2803 or 1-800-459-1887. If you don't know exactly what to say or want to do
more, such as faxing or emailing letters, please visit the web site http://www.endingho rseslaughter.

Call List For The Week Of 8/3/08
KEYING IN ON JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS
This week we will focus on the Judiciary Committee, where H.R. 6598 currently resides. I have listed
all 16 of the 40 members of this Committee who did not co-sponsor H.R.503. The first group of 10 are members we did
not call last week, when we concentrated on the members of a Subcommittee of the Judiciary. The last 6 are a repeat
of the Subcommittee members that did not co-sponsor H.R.503. If we are going to be successful this time, we must retain
our H.R.503 co-sponsors and, very importantly, pick up several additional House members.
Here's the
list:

NEW BILL, NEW STRATEGY
The brand new House bill H.R.6598 (known as
the Prevention Of Equine Cruelty Act of 2008, introduced on 7/24/08 by Sen. John Conyers) is currently in the House Judiciary
Committee, where it will be deliberated, investigated and/or revised. This is just the beginning of the legislative
process for this bill.
The Judiciary Committee Chair and sponsor of the bill, Sen. Conyers, has sent the
bill to the Subcommittee On Crime, Terrorism And Homeland Security. This Subcommittee has jurisdiction over border security,
international agreements, non-border enforcement, international law, etc. Their first meeting to discuss the bill will be
held on Thursday this week at 9:30 AM. Therefore, we should direct our calls and letters to the members of the Subcommittee.
The members with an asterisk beside their names did not co-sponsor H.R.503, a similar House bill. They should
be called first!
