Dear ronnie,

We did it! The U.S. Senate passed an amendment today by a
stunning 68-29 vote that prohibits the use of any federal
taxpayer funds to slaughter horses for food exports.

The amendment, introduced by Senators John Ensign (R-NV)
and Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), mirrors an amendment that
passed the U.S. House of Representatives in June, which was
led by Reps. John Sweeney (R-NY), John Spratt (D-SC), Nick
Rahall (D-WV), and Ed Whitfield (R-KY). Together, these
measures will effectively stop America's horses from being
killed in three slaughterhouses in the U.S. that slaughter
horses -- two in Texas and one in Illinois. The amendment
also stops horses from being shipped to slaughterhouses in
Canada or Mexico so that their meat can be exported to
foreign countries.

This tremendous victory would not have been possible
without your support and action. We received outstanding
support for our major lobbying campaign to end horse
slaughter and were able to mobilize our grassroots network.
Every single Senate office heard from us, and because of
your calls and emails they took notice. Click here to find our
how your U.S. Senators voted.


"The time has come to put an end to the practice of
slaughtering horses in America," said Sen. Ensign. "Horses
have an important role in the history of our country,
particularly the West, and they deserve our protection. As a
senator and a veterinarian I am committed to doing what I can
for these magnificent animals. Many of the horses sent to
slaughter are perfectly healthy, and turning them over to
slaughterhouses is inhumane and unnecessary."

"The market for horsemeat is not an American market," said
Sen. Byrd. "Many Americans would be shocked to learn that
our animals suffer such a fate, all in order to satisfy the
tastes of those living in Europe and Asia."

In another welcome move, the Senate also approved two
additional animal welfare amendments introduced by Sen.
Daniel Akaka (D-HI). One amendment would ensure that
"downed livestock" -- animals too sick or injured to walk -- are
not allowed into the human food supply. The second
amendment would prohibit tax dollars from being used for
research facilities that purchase animals from "Class B
dealers" who traffic in family pets for research.

We are so grateful that you stood with us and helped achieve
this incredible victory for animals, even as so many of our
resources --  and so much of our attention -- has been
turned towards helping the animal victims of Hurricane
Katrina. Thank you for all you do on behalf of animals.

Sincerely,

Q: I was wondering what you think of Cindy Sheehan.
Crusader or Fool?

A: As you well know there has been a considerable amount
of bad press on Cindy Sheehan. But look at the source of
this bad publicity. Its coming from very right wing sources,
ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, And tasteless talk show host
such as Rush Limbaugh and the likes of.  
These news agencies are all owned and controlled by the
major corporations that support and contribute to the
neocon agenda and profit off of war the making of weapons
and exploitation of third world countries and keep them third
world.
Cindy Sheehan is a woman who lost something more
valuable than anything, her son.

Cindy is one that had the freedom because she has nothing
left to loose and no fear to ask George Bush a simple
question, “What noble cause did my son die for”.
A question that they fear because it puts the whole Bush
regime in an awkward position because its obvious that we
all have been lied too. Mainstream news reporters don’t
have this freedom because their career and credibility would
be jeopardized
You may have noticed several links to Cindy Sheehan’s web
site www.meetwithcindy.org on the News Links News pages
of my website www.rinkadinkproductions.com

There for the answer to your question is
no I don’t think Cindy is a fool.
