Just In (from Shelley Abrams) Missouri State Senate Passes Resolution 35
On Monday, the Missouri State Senate passed Resolution 35 urging the US Congress to block passage of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act(AHSPA) and facilitate the construction of new horse slaughter plants on US soil. Not one person spoke up against this Resolution!
We would like to thank all of you who stepped up and called, faxed and emailed in a tremendous show of unity and commitment. Unfortunately, the Resolution passed anyway.
However, this is ONLY a Resolution and we should use this to create urgency with the fence sitters and those in Congress who we may be able to convert to co-sponsors.
Again, a huge thanks and tremendous amount of gratitude to those of you who keep at it, working day in and day out until all American horses are safe. We will continue until we can savor the sweet taste of victory and celebrate together.
