Contact Lists 

Please be sure and "cc" your letters to everybody! Including President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the First Ladies and Bill and Hillary too. Also send it out to wildlife organizations, animal rights organizations and other similar foundations so that they are aware how major this campaign has become. It is always recommended to write letters and send them snail mail as it has been proven to be the most effective method.

All letters regarding any performing animals should be sent to the people on this list. Individual situations such as Lota, Delhi and Hawthorn, Gilda, Ringling Bro's Elephant Farm and Carson and Barnes all have additional contacts, such as state reps, governors, mayors and first ladies for whichever state they are in.

Keep these issues in the public eye as well and send your letter in press release form to newspapers and news programs. A sample media list appears below. And if a circus is coming to your town, there are a lot of things you can do to protest and raise awareness, including contacting your local newspapers and news programs.



***IMPORTANT***
In order to get a complete ban (or any law) passed, it must be done so by Senators and House Representatives. This is the ONLY way to get laws passed. Therefore, we MUST put continuous pressure on EVERY SINGLE United States Senator and House Rep. There are literally hundreds of them. For the sake of protecting our cause, the email lists will not be posted here. It is up to you to seek out as many Senators and Reps as possible and "cc" your letters regarding the banning of animals in circuses to ALL of them. Reps from ALL 50 United States need to receive many letters with as many reasons why this ban needs to be passed as possible. To find the contact information please go to http://www.senate.gov and http://www.house.gov.

Please Use this contact list to find as many legislatures as possible to send your letters of support to:

Quick Senate Contact List
Quick House Member Contact List
Quick Agriculture Committee Member List

UPDATE: The Administrators of this site have compiled a mass data base of legislatures, making it easy to send mailers - just paste and print onto Avery Labels. A copy of this data base is available to you by request through the message board.




Please send a "cc" of your letter to the Governor of your state and his First Lady and the Mayor of your city and his First Lady also.

Sending copies of your letters to organizations such as ASPCA, HSUS and PETA is also very important. Once organizations see how hard the general public is trying, they can file more lawsuits against these abusers, which will help even more.
