URGENT:
The Senate Appropriations Committee is voting on horse slaughter TODAY. If your Senator is on the list below, please call them right away.
Here is a sample of what you can say:
"My name is ___________ and I am a voting constituent in (your city). I am calling to urge Senator _________ to please vote YES on the Udall-Graham amendment to keep horse slaughter plants closed in the U.S. when this amendment comes up for a vote in the Senate Appropriations Committee on Today."
