#5. Take no shortcuts. Follow the recommendations on our website. A single repeated Email to all will not be as affective. We know this.
Animal rights extremists use this "repeated email" and "online petition" technique. Experts tell us that discounts their efforts.
.
#6. If you feel that you want to participate in the action Mike Shannon (Feld Entertainment) issued (An online petition), it is ALSO on CFA's website (See "Feld Entertainment asks for your support). AFTER YOU FOLLOW the instructions in steps #1 thru #4, feel free to sign the online petition. By all means ... send it to 100 of your friends and family and ask them to send it to 100 of their friends.
We need a snowball rolling down hill affect. BUT - this online petition is for the general public folks. YOU are CFA. We need your original and unique letters! Top management in the circus world respectfully requests it of each and every one of you.
#7. Email follow up. AFTER you have sent your letters to the 56 officials - send each of them an email follow up. Repeat your points in condensed format. Again - brevity is important. They won't read a novel!
#8. Phone calls - in addition to or instead of Email. Who can't use a telephone folks?
#9. REPORT TO THIS COMMITTEE: WHY PLAY BASEBALL IF YOU DON't KEEP SCORE?
We need to track what is happening in opposition to this threat. Send us copies of your letters and emails. Report any responses you receive. It is crucial to the success of this campaign.
#10. Send this Email to everyone on your email list (on the bottom of this email, click on the link to Forward to your friends) and then go to our website and begin your families campaign.
How much time do we have? We don't know. We think it may be a few weeks. It could be a few days. We know this is a campaign that will take you days to work on. Spend an hour a day for the next two weeks and you'll be amazed at how much you get done.
Do you want to sit in a seat and enjoy a circus next year? Do you want to take your children to a circus? Your grandchildren? Unlike the animal extremists, we don't want your money. We want you to actively help to ... SAVE THE CIRCUS!
Very Truly Yours,
Gary C. Payne, Eastern Vice President
Circus Fans Association of America

The bill won't pass, but it will give the media and activists plenty of opportunities to parade their stock of 'hidden videos' before the public. This will be the biggest coup in AR history, and you know they will all be pulling out all the stops.
If the CFA expects to put an end to this type of foolishness, they should starting thinking in terms of the 2012 elections and then use their organizational skills to (a) identify those elected officials who receive PETA money and who actively work to implement PETA’s agenda and (b) become pro-active politically and defeat PETA-backed officals when they run for reelection. If you don’t get rid of the fire-starters, then all you have to look forward to is putting out more fires like this one.
When they are identified their names should be posted for us that are not able to get this info.
I would suggest that those interested in stopping this legislation first read it. Put in HR 3359.
The present status is that it is now with the House Committee on Agriculture, a 56 member bi-partisan committee. It is THAT committee that should be getting our communications for now. We want HR 3359 to "die" in committee, and never make it to the House of Representatives!
The AR people and supporters of this bill have a lot of publicity out on the interenet regarding this bill, but I see no mention of PeTA.
