Subject: AETA Update from Chris DeRose
“I Am Not a Terrorist”
LCA is unwavering in our commitment to challenge the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA), no matter how hard or how long it takes.
We are continuing our coalition building with other major animal groups, welfare, protection, rescue and rights organizations, as well as legal organizations and non-animal organizations, to work together so that there is a single message from all of us. This is important! Our voices must be strong and unified to gather support for the repeal of the AETA.
We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback and the number of people that want to join the fight. We have been in touch with people all over the county. The public needed someone to carry the torch and to have a main focus.
I want to continue stressing that the AETA has the ability to affect all animal groups; welfare, protection, rescue and rights. In LCA fashion, we will stay on it and pursue it until it no longer exists.
Please continue contacting your senators and representatives. Let them know that you support the repeal of the AETA and you want them to support the repeal also! Call back frequently; become familiar with the staff…you can make a difference.
For those of you near Washington D.C. – members of Congress will be sworn in on Thursday, January 4th, and most will hold receptions for their constituents. This is a great opportunity to approach your representatives (and others) about repealing the AETA. They usually require an RSVP, but they may not be too strict about barring unannounced visitors.
Check in with LCA and Equal Justice Alliance often for updated information on the fight against the AETA.
We’re going to kick ass and stop this damn thing!
For the animals,
Chris DeRose
