Senate Resolution 85 dedicating July 23, 2005 and July 22,
2006 as the National Day of the Cowboy is still in the works. Below is the
pertinent and up to date information regarding this proposal. SHARK
believes it is of the utmost importance that you call or email your
senators right away and tell them to vote against it. Usually, a
senator's staff just keeps running totals on how their constituents want
them to vote on an issue, so your message doesn't have to be long or
eloquent. You can contact them by visiting http://www.congress.org. Click
on "US Congress" listed on the left side of the page. Then hit
"Congressional Directory" in red letters at the top of the page. From
there you type your zip code into the box provided, and you will see
pictures of each of your senators. All you have to do is click below their
pictures to email them. You can also call the Capitol Switchboard at
202-224-3121 to be connected to your senators' offices.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! THE RODEO CROWD IS ATTEMPTING TO
PRESSURE THEIR SENATORS INTO PASSING THIS RESOLUTION, SO IT IS VITAL THEY
HEAR FROM THE OTHER SIDE! This is a very important issue on both practical
and symbolic grounds. We are including the text of the resolution below so
you can see for yourselves what we mean. You won't believe it! Beyond
that, we are certain the rodeo mafia will use this outrageous and
undeserved day of recognition to promote rodeo and gather more corporate
sponsorships. In essence, a national day of recognition would legitimate
and glorify the illegitimate. We can't
allow this to happen!
If your senator sponsored or cosponsored the resolution
(see list below), please call him down on it!
Please help prevent the National Day of the Cowboy from
becoming a reality!
Kindest Regards,
Steve
