Today we bring you the biggest news ever in our campaign to pass the US Greyhound Protection Act. This week, the House of Representatives will be voting on the Farm Bill. And thanks to our bi-partisan sponsors, it now includes our language to outlaw dog racing!

But at the 11th hour, a lone member of Congress is trying to derail this historic bill. Amendment #269 has been filed to dismantle the Greyhound Protection Act and create a permanent carve-out for West Virginia, the only state with live racing! We cannot let this dangerous amendment pass.

The greyhounds need your help now to defeat Amendment #269. Please write to your House Member right away and urge him or her to OPPOSE Amendment #269.

The Greyhound Protection Act overwhelmingly passed the House Agriculture Committee by voice vote in March and has the support of key Democrats and Republicans in Congress. It is just plain wrong for a single lawmaker to hold up progress for the greyhounds, and cause innocent dogs to continue to suffer and die in his state.

Fortunately, you have the power to help stop this reckless assault. Please write to your House Member now and urge him or her to OPPOSE Amendment #269 to the Farm Bill.
