Your support is needed in Austin on July 10. Everyone is encouraged to testify. If you choose to voice your opposition to horse slaughter, you will be allowed 3 minutes to speak. Since the attendees will NOT be signing cards showing opposition, strong opposing attendance extremely important.
As a bonus for attending, you'll be able to hear ol' Charlie Stenholm spewing his propaganda in person. That should get you on your feet to say a few words!
