Our friends at the National Animal Interest Alliance Trust have set up a web page to contact members of Congress to support the King amendment to the Farm Bill. Please take a moment to visit the web page, which has detailed information about the amendment and its potential positive impact for the agriculture industry.
The King Amendment prohibits one State from imposing unfunded mandates and trade barriers on legal producers living in other States. Sponsored by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, the House-approved provision is strongly supported by mainstream farm groups. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is the chief opponent of the amendment and has an enormous misinformation ad campaign against it. A House Ag-Committee amendment supported by HSUS to strike the King Amendment offered in May failed 33 to 13 with a majority of both parties supporting the King Amendment.

Or call your elected officials and urge them to support the King Amendment. 202-224-3121.
Thank you!
