Last chance to stop AETA!!! Vote on Monday!!!

BREAKING NEWS

Action Alert -- House Vote on AETA this Monday!

This is your ONLY chance to defeat the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (HR

4239, S3880)!

In a late night move on Friday, AETA was added to the House Suspension

Calendar for THIS Monday! This underhanded fast-track maneuver, like the one

in the Senate, means that AETA will not have any debate... only an up/down

vote.

Talking Points!

"As your constituent, I strongly urge you to: (1) vote NO on the Animal

Enterprise Terrorism Act (HR4239, S 3880), which is currently on the

suspension calendar for 11/13 to be voted on Monday after 6:30pm, and (2) to

contact Rep. Sensenbrenner to remove the bill from the suspension calendar.

The measure is much too important to pass without discussion."

The bill must be opposed for the following reasons:

AETA is opposed by more than 130 animal protection, social justice, and

civil liberty organizations including: National Lawyers Guild, Humane

Society of the U.S., ASPCA, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the

League of Humane Voters. Click here for opposition list.

AETA deserves a hearing to afford its many opponents a voice.

AETA denies equal protection under the law and limits freedom of speech and

assembly.

AETA unfairly brands as 'terrorists' nonviolent animal protection advocates.

AETA unfairly brands as 'terrorism' nonviolent civil disobedience and

undercover investigations.

AETA invokes excessively harsh penalties for comparable offenses.

AETA is excessively broad and vague by covering innocent parties.

AETA may authorize unwarranted wiretapping of animal protection advocates.

AETA has a chilling effect on all forms of social justice and life affirming

advocacy.

AETA interferes with prosecution of real terrorism against the American

people.
