I think this helps illustrate the importance of research into wild animal welfare and I couldn't find the clip anywhere else so I recorded it for you on my shitty setup. If you notice the video stuttering that's probably my fault. However the audio turned out well which is what counts.

Right now lobbyists are trying to nullify hundreds of state agriculture laws with the so-called Save Our Bacon Act (SOBA). More info my previous posts, but in a nutshell, local farmers with higher standards and many millions of farm animals lose under SOBA while behemoths like Smithfield and JBS would win.

Your Senator Amy Klobuchar is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Ag Committee, which means she's one of the leaders in the Farm Bill markup happening soon.

If you live in this great state, you can really move the needle with a quick call to your Senator (at either Mpls 612-727-5220 / DC 202-224-3244) saying something like "Please keep the Save Our Bacon Act completely out of the Farm Bill".

Phone calls from constituents can genuinely make a big difference and almost every other Americans can't have as much of a difference as Minnesotans can on this.

Hey yall, not sure if you saw my distressing posts about the upcoming Farm Bill (and the disastrous effects it could have) but don't worry, this isn't one of them!

I just wanted to thank you so much for the actions you've already taken and share some great news! The Senate recently removed the Farm Bill's destructive provision called the Save Our Bacon Act (aka SOBA or EATS) thanks largely to unprecedented pressure from the public!

Unfortunately big ag hasn't given up yet, and will surely still try to reintroduce that provision into the Farm Bill before it is ratified. However the odds of the SOBA being turned into law have dropped (from about 60% to 20%) since we got involved!

P.S. Tbh I'm not sure how to interpret this data and I was hoping you or Big A could help me out if this is interesting.

Hey again yall! Following up on my post from earlier about your Senator Klobuchar’s major role in shaping the upcoming Farm Bill.

>There are provisions (namely the EATS / Save Our Bacon Act) that could gut around 500 state agriculture laws. Animal welfare advocates and local farmers are sounding the alarm because of how much it could harm farm animals and override local regulations.

I recently found out Sen. Klobuchar’s campaign is actively soliciting input and ideas from constituents through this form:https://www.amyklobuchar.com/submit-your-idea

Because of the campaign, her staff is highly likely to be actively reading and tracking these messages right now. Tbh it will also put you on her email list. But if you have something to say about the Farm Bill, this is probably the easiest way to be heard.

You can even just copy and paste this if you want to make a difference in under a minute:

>Dear Senator Klobuchar,
Please lead the fight to remove the EATS / Save Our Bacon Act provision from the Senate Farm Bill.
Sincerely,
Your constituent 

Hey again folks! I'm not sure if you saw my earlier post about why Minnesota's Senator Klobuchar is a big shot at a big time.

In a nutshell she's one of the most influential people shaping the Farm Bill which could nullify about 500 state agriculture laws and harm many millions of farm animals. This has many animal welfare advocates and local farmers outraged.

More info in my previous post but rn just wanted to give yall an update:

Sen. Klobuchar is running for governor and her campaign is actively soliciting input from her constituents here: https://www.amyklobuchar.com/submit-your-idea

This means it's very likely her staff will be reading and conveying your input. Just a heads up it will also put you on her email list. But if you have something to say about the Farm Bill, this is probably the easiest way to be heard.

You can even just copy and paste this if you want to make a difference in under a minute:

>Dear Senator Klobuchar,
Please lead the fight to remove the EATS / Save Our Bacon Act provision from the Senate Farm Bill.
Sincerely,
Your constituent

I'm a New Yorker that never posts about politics but Congress is about to vote on a Farm Bill that has a provision that would nullify most most state-level animal welfare protections. This would sentence many millions of farm animals to life imprisoned in cramped cages.

But luckily it's really quick and easy to help prevent this. I called the House switchboard at 202-224-3121, gave my zip code, they connected me to my rep's office. And it took one more minute to email my representatives through https://defeateats.com/take-action/

So I'm posting because I think a lot of people don't reach out to their reps because they assume it's complicated or they need to know everything about the bill. You don't. You can just say you're a constituent and you want them to vote no in under five mins.

Edit: I didn't expect so many positive response so I didn't mention you can find out more on this shared google doc if you're interested in doing more.

• For example I hate phone calls as much as the average zoomer but it turns phone calls are weighted more heavily than emails by congressional offices, so this is the most impactful action with just a few mins.
