Last fall, we had a great victory when nearly 15,000 Food & Water Watch activists got Congress to keep the ban on imported poultry from China. Unfortunately, it was only a temporary victory, and now we need your help to maintain it. Will you ask Congress

Can't send either of you any more stars today, but you deserve a TON of them for both of you getting the news, petitions out there!!!

Actually, since I don't usually spend time on petition sites, I rely on Angie, and Cher, you put the petition with news so that gets it out even better, sorry, but do you want a card instead, and a star next week????

Noted, signed and sent, and forwarded. Added my personal comments and hope they help.
Comments I added-
We were already dumb enough to try this once and huge numbers of pet owners watched their pets get sick (and too many die) from poisoned food or food products that our government allowed to be imported from China. We've seen and read the news stories about how the Chinese poisoned their own babies with poisoned milk. I don't need to learn this lesson again and we demand to have representatives in Congress who don't have to keep learning the same lessons over and over also. NO MORE OF THIS! The Chinese government is a communist police state; they do not share our values and cannot be trusted. It's time to shut this down for good. Cheap food is of no use to Dead People who have been poisoned. This is not acceptable and it's up to you to stop it in its tracks right now.

Signed and noted. Will forward to friends. Seriously, dosen't America produce enough of its own chickens for its population? Is there really a genuine need to import?

this is so disgusting we already kill thousands of chickens daily in the US and these disgusting barbaric companies are building factories in China where thiere disgusting barbaric methods will not be able to be controlled.

It is time to start boycotting chicken. tyson and cargill should be boycotted. not only are they taking jobs away from americans, they are taking the barbaric slaughtering methods to china where they cannot be controlled.

STOP EATING ANIMALS. IT IS BARBARIC, DISGUSTING, UNNESSARY AND YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE ANIMALS SUFFERING BY EATING THEM.
