From: Karen Strange Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 9:30 AM Subject: Alert! Immediate Action Needed!! Dear MoFed Members & Associates, It is urgent that you call your Senator TODAY and ask him or her to VOTE YES on HJR 86! This is the Constitutional Amendment that will help protect agriculture and the raising of domestic animals in the state of Missouri against future ballot initiatives by animal rights activists. We have re-written the bill to require a two-thirds vote for ballot initiatives concerning agriculture and the raising of domestic animals, making it more difficult for animal rights activists to use emotion and propaganda to promote their agenda of ending animal ownership and enjoyment as well as food sources for agriculture. It is urgent that you call your Senator NOW!!!! We must pass this important piece of legislation! If passed by the Senate, it will by-pass the governor and we do not need to gather signatures. It will go straight to the ballot for the people to decide. Animal rights activists are swarming like bees in light of their signatures turned in yesterday for the ballot initiative in November. The lawsuit is still pending, and the issue CANNOT go on the ballot until a decision is made in court concerning our lawsuit. They have issued alerts for their activist friends to call the legislature to block HJR 86, making untrue claims as usual!!! It is vital we pass this!! Keep in mind that HJR 86 is a Constitutional Amendment and is the most important piece of legislation we have worked on in the last twenty years! PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW AND ASK HIM OR HER TO VOTE YES ON HJR 86!!!!! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
