Tell Senators McCain and Obama: My Vote Supports Animals!

Target: Senators John McCain and Barack Obama
Sponsored by: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Companies applying for Food and Drug Administration approval are currently not required to use proven alternatives to animal testing. Every day, thousands of animals are experimented on or killed to test drugs that will never help a sick human being!

Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama are doing a lot of talking right now. But they never seem to mention the unnecessary, unproductive and cruel practice of animal testing. They need to hear from people who care about human and animal welfare today!

Please help defend these innocent animals by letting the candidates know: I vote, and I want to hear your position on animal testing!

Federal law requires that PCRM must be strictly non-partisan. PCRM neither supports nor opposes any candidate for any elective office. This petition is in support of animal rights, and not about any political candidates.
deadline: 8-8-2009
goal: 10,000

Dear Senator McCain and Senator Obama,

Citizens who care about the health and welfare of people and animals would like to know your position on whether the Food and Drug Administration should follow the example set by its counterparts in the European Union and mandate the use of scientifically proven alternatives to animal testing by companies submitting their products for approval.

Please address this issue on your campaign Web site and when talking to the American people.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We vote for animals!
