STOP HSUS (Received from the ADBA)

I got this email from the ADBA today and so I pass it on to you:


Hello, VISE-GRIP KENNELS
You are receiving this email because you signed up for our Legislative Alerts online or when submitting paperwork to our office. Please respond to this email to Unsubscribe.

On November 16, 2009 HSUS CEO, Wayne Pacelle, made the suggestion: ...every "responsible breeder" is a "puppy miller", every "family farmer" is a "factory farmer" and every "responsible hunter" is a "poacher". This is what HSUS really thinks about anyone involved with animals! Don't donate and don't believe them when HSUS says they protect animals.


[center:2vwmvfit]Call to Action[/center:2vwmvfit]

Below is a Call to Action to stop the HSUS from taking over our rights. The HSUS backed Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Senate Bill 707 (S.707) and House Bill 835 (H.R. 835) does not apply to commercial breeders; they already fall under APHIS regulations. Make no mistake about it; the intent is to bring every dog breeder under Federal control.

The attorney/lobbyist Frank Losey has a plan. You need to follow the directions carefully. Read what Frank has to say and please help. It only takes a minute.

We need an ongoing effort to eliminate the undeserved credibility of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Nobody would even listen to a bill from the Communist Party of the USA -- 'no credibility.' That is exactly what we want potential sponsors to think when they hear from HSUS. "Bunch of liars for profit ... sorry, don't have time."


For the HSUS, adverse canine legislation, PUPS/PAWS, ect. is corporate policy: If someone there gets tired of it, they transfer or fire them and hire someone else. It’s just a job. This is a hobby for most of us and we'd like to spend our time on it, rather than hauling out the same trash we've taken out before. We are not blaming the victim; we really SHOULDN'T have to keep doing this. But either we match their dedication with our volunteer work or we lose.

DECEMBER CALL TO ACTION

ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF THE LOBBYING DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1995 BY THE HSUS

If you believe that the Senior Leadership of the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) has made more than one "Lobbying Contact" with Members of Congress or their respective staffs in the last five years, then there is reason to believe that the HSUS and its Senior Leadership have failed to comply with the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 because they have never registered as a lobbying organization or as lobbyists with the appropriate Congressional Offices.

If every Member of Congress were to receive Hundreds, or possibly thousands, of E-Mails from their constituents which asks Six Pointed Questions, those E-Mails may shine a BIG BRIGHT SPOTLIGHT on the fact that the HSUS has been acting "ABOVE THE LAW" and should be held accountable.

You will help to BRIGHTEN THAT SPOTLIGHT if you will take less than 20 Minutes to send an E-Mail to your two U.S. Senators and to your U.S. Representative and ask six pointed questions. If you wish to do so, follow the instructions set out below and use the suggested Text for your E-Mails.
And yes, send E-Mails to the Members of Congress who are supporting the HSUS Legislative Agenda. LARGE NUMBERS OF E-MAILS CAN AND DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS!!!!!! That is why the HSUS literally generates Millions of E-Mails going to Members of Congress.

1. To send an E-Mail to your U.S. Representative, Log onto:

http://www.house.gov/writerep/

2. Fill in your state and ZIP Code on the prompt that appears.

3. Add your name, address and E-Mail address on E-Mail Form for your U.S. Representative; then add the message set out below.

4. To send an E-Mail to your Two Senators, Log onto: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_i ... rs_cfm.cfm

5. Click onto the E-Mail Address for each of your two U.S. Senators.

6. Add your name, address and E-Mail address on E-Mail Form for your U.S. Representative; and add the message set out below.

7. So that a running count of total E-Mails may be maintained, send a confirmation that the three E-Mails were sent from which State to Frank Losey: f.losey@insightbb.com

Suggested Text of E-Mail Message

NOTE: Please resist the temptation to mention your ongoing "issues" with the HSUS.

This "High Road" Approach is designed to; in essence, eliminate the opportunity for a "boilerplate" response to be sent back to you which merely states "Thank You for bringing your issues of concern to my attention." Instead, the "Suggested Text" raises questions that will increase the likelihood that the Members of Congress will need to address a very, very specific violation of the Law by the HSUS, which violation is not directly related to any specific Bill in Congress. Our GOAL is to raise a serious question as to the "credibility" of the HSUS. If successful, it will affect the ability of the HSUS to influence Congress. And if it results in the HSUS "registering" with Congress, this could affect its IRS "public charity" status!!!



Suggested text for your letter.


Dear Representative/Senator______________

I would appreciate receiving your responses to the following Six Questions that relate to the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. This Act, as currently written, provides that a person or organization that makes more than one contact with a "Covered Executive Branch Official" or a "Covered Legislative
Branch Official," such as Members of Congress and their respective Staffs, must register as a Lobbyist or a Lobbying Organization with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate.

QUESTION 1: Do you believe that the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 should be strictly enforced?

QUESTION 2: If you believe that the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 should be strictly enforced, why has neither the Clerk of the House nor the Secretary of the Senate published specific procedures that would permit concerned citizens to report apparent violations of the Lobbying Disclosure
Act of 1995 to an appropriate Congressional Office?

QUESTION 3: Do you believe that a tax-exempt, public charity and its senior leadership should be required to comply with the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 and register as a lobbying organization and as lobbyists with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate if they have more than one contact with Members of Congress or their respective staffs for the purpose of influencing legislation?

QUESTION 4: If you believe that a tax-exempt, public charity and its senior leadership should be required to register as a lobbying organization and as lobbyists if they have had more than one contact with a Member of Congress or his or her staff for the purpose of influencing legislation, why has the
Humane Society of the U. S. (HSUS) and its Senior Leadership been permitted to ignore the registration requirements of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 when they have literally made thousands of contacts with Members of Congress and their respective staffs during the last five years? For example, in March of 2011 the Humane Society of the U.S. hosted an Awards Banquet during which they honored the 146 Members of Congress who best supported the Legislative Agenda of the HSUS in 2010.

QUESTION 5: If the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia is the Office in the Justice Department that is responsible for enforcing the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, why has Mr. Keith Morgan, the Assistant U.S. Attorney in that Office not acted on a Complaint that he received during the first week in August of 2011 - - more than four months ago - - which documented the thousands of lobbying contacts made by the Senior Leadership of Humane Society of the U.S. , and its self-described "Lobbying Arm," the Humane Society Legislative Fund that has oversight over three PACs that have submitted over 2,300 pages of lobbying-related documents to the Federal Election Commission?

QUESTION 6: Will you call Mr. Morgan or someone else in the Justice Department and ask why no action has been taken on the documented Complaint received by Mr. Morgan in early August of 2011 so that you and your colleagues in Congress may decide whether or not to repeal the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 or to ensure that it is strictly enforced?

Respectfully submitted,

I received the same email...

I'm going to copy & paste this information to my facebook page, too, and I'm also going to print a few hundred copies of the instructions and place them at our check out counter and on the counters of every Veterinarian in my contact book. This is bullshit.
