The website Change.org allows the Obama administration a window into public opinion that will help them shape their priorities for change over the next four years. Activists have submitted the idea to rescind the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) and we can help make this happen. Animal rights activists have posted the following idea on Change.org that is waiting for your vote:
"The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) was enacted in November of 2006 at the behest of the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. AETA restricts the freedom of speech and assembly of animal and other social justice activists. It unfairly brands as terrorism any activities that cross a state line and interfere with the operation of an animal enterprise or of any entity that deals with one. Such activities may include website posts, peaceful vigils, nonviolent civil disobedience, undercover investigations, and whistle-blowing."
Please take a few moments to vote for this issue and help bring national attention to this profound violation of our constitutional rights. You can even add a widget to your blog that allows others to vote on this important issue.
Vote now to end the AETA!

The federal government has introduced plans to round up all wild horses in America and send them to slaughter. Some 31,000 wild horses are set to be rounded-up and killed in a mass murder. The project is intended to protect "grazing land used by the cattle industry(link)."
Activists are calling for the government to save the wild horses but so called experts claim the horses are invasive species. Perhaps the cattle are just as much of an invasive species as well. The motivation behind the killing is cloudy however because the government now says that the horse meat will be sold to "foreign markets."
If people stopped buying beef, the cattle industry would collapse and the horses would be saved. Please speak out against the needless slaughter of 31,000 wild horses.
