Say NO to Richard Pombo on June 8.
May 25, 2010
Dear XXXX
,
It's a critical time for animal advocates like you to make your voice heard to support political candidates who are standing up for animal protection. This is an important election year and we must support the friends of animals and defeat those who defend cruelty. Can you help us at this critical time?
The Humane Society Legislative Fund is working hard to elect humane candidates and drum out those who are hostile to animals, like former Rep. Richard Pombo, who represented California’s 11th District from 1993-2006.
Throughout his seven terms in Congress, Rep. Pombo had one of the worst and most extreme records of any lawmaker on animal protection issues. He voted against legislation to combat dogfighting and cockfighting, supported the inhumane slaughter of horses and downed cows, voted to use our tax dollars to fund the luxury mink coat industry and the trophy hunting of African elephants, and even supported the killing of whales and dolphins in the oceans.
But Richard Pombo is now fighting to make his way back into Congress and running for a seat in another congressional district (CA-19) in the Republican primary on June 8.
Help HSLF secure legislative and political victories -- please make a special gift today.
We need lawmakers who will speak out and enact laws to protect animals from the worst forms of cruelty and abuse -- not politicians like Richard Pombo who will fight for every animal abuse industry there is.
Help us advocate for animals and make sure that Richard Pombo, and others like him, never use the powers of Congress to harm vulnerable and defenseless animals. Please make a special gift today to help secure legislative and political victories for animals.
Thank you for all you do for animals!
Sincerely,
Mike Markarian
President
Humane Society Legislative Fund
