Action Alert — House Vote on AETA this 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.
Contact your
Representative this weekend and Monday morning!

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.
