I hate phone calls but this is important enough that I actually called both my senators (was only able to reach and leave a message for one)! Sent emails as well. Thanks for giving me the prod to do this
I live in Pennsylvania, a Commonwealth, yet when I tried to email Rep Thompson I received the following automated response, Outside of District and was unable to submit my comment. This is a problem with our alleged democracy.
Thank you for your work on this issue! I was able to speak to a staffer in the office of one of my Senators (Merkley, D-Oregon).
One small quibble: I’m not sure that Glenn Greenwald would be best described as a conservative. I raise this to say that if we’re going to highlight the way animal welfare issues cut across ideological lines, it’s better to be as accurate as possible about where people fall on the spectrum.
Do you think I should post about this issue in the subreddits of Minnesota, PA, and Arkansas and ask constituents to reach out to their reps especially:
Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar and Angie Craig in Minnesota.
House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson in Pennsylvania.
I just called and left messages for both of my senators! This piece motivated me to do so. I've been told it's a good idea to call our senators daily Monday through Friday about our opposition to the SOB Act.
I'm disgusted by the Greed Class that's allowed to destroy so much of what was ever good in our country. The last time I read about this I made phone calls. Thank you for all your hard work to get this out to us again.

I just wanted to let you know that some exciting things are happening in Denmark when it comes to pigs. We’ve just had an election campaign that several people referred to as a “Pig Election,” because pig welfare became such a major issue in the public debate.
If you’d ever like input on how that happened, please feel free to reach out. Right now, we are negotiating the political foundation for the new government, which my party will likely become part of, and we will hopefully end up implementing some ambitious new legislation.

P.S. Here's an example of what I tried so far but I'd love to be corrected if I'm wrong https://www.reddit.com/r/Ohio/comments/1t00vba/in_just_a_few_mins_you_can_have_the_biggest/
Yes I think that's a great idea to post on those subreddits about this. Thank you!
Is there no end to the suffering inflicted on these intelligent animals?
Thank you 🙏
