muse2u discovered 21 months ago- Have you heard of the Animal Enterprise Terrosism Act?
- monpetitchoue rated 21 months ago
- Anything between the US Corporate interests and money is now defined as terrorism. Do you really believe you are that far from George Orwell's 1984??? You are fucked!... Protect Your Rights To Speak Out for Animals Congress is in the midst of passing legislation that would severely hamper the rights of animal welfare advocates to voice their opinions on animal protection issues throughout the country. The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) S. 3880 / H.R. 4239 will set penalties (jail time and fines) for any action that can be linked to a loss of profit to any company classified as an "animal enterprise". An "animal enterprise" would include anyone who produces or distributes animals or products from animals, animal entertainment - including rodeos, circuses, zoos or aquariums, research facilities, pet stores and even animal fighting. This means that legal activities such as peaceful protests, consumer boycotts, media campaigns legislative proposals, or even telling the public what happens in puppy mills, factory farms, or canned hunting facilities, could be classified as acts of terrorism. This dangerous legislation has already passed the full Senate, and will be considered by the House of Representatives when they reconvene in November. Your voice is needed to help ensure that animal welfare advocates can continue to voice our concerns in a lawful and constitutionally protected way. Please urge your member of Congress to strongly oppose the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). Urge him or her to strongly oppose H.R. 4239. Let your representative know that this legislation seeks to squelch our first amendments rights of freedom of speech. Just edit the email below and hit send. Then follow up with a very quick polite phone call to your representative. You can find your representative's phone number by going to www.congress.org. All you need to say is: "Hi, my name is ____, and I live at _________. I am calling to urge Representative....... To strongly oppose HR 4239, entitled the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. This legislation seeks to criminalize the most basic and protected elements of free speech."
