Anthony will be speaking on animal rights, hunting, environmental concerns, and the urgent subject of his second book: Homo Sapiens! SAVE YOUR EARTH. Marr is the author of two books on environmental issues. A wildlife preservationist since 1995, his work in India garnered him the title of Champion of the Bengal Tiger in the award-winning TV-documentary series Champions of the Wild which aired in 20 countries on Discovery and National Geographic channels. Anthony Marr is the founder and president of Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE). For more information on Anthony Marr visit Homo sapiens Save Your Earth.
On Monday, June 7th at Rep. Tammy Baldwin's listening session at Waunakee Village Center, a concerned citizen asked Rep. Baldwin pointed questions as to why she has not co-sponsored the Great Ape Protection Act, H.R. 1326, which would prohibit the conducting of invasive research on great apes (which includes chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos, gibbons, and gorillas). Rep. Baldwin showed great surprise that she had not yet signed this bill. She stated that the process for deciding on an issue starts by having constituents bring the issue to her attention, and that since it has not been brought to her attention, perhaps it has "fallen through the cracks." AFA Co-Director Lynn Pauly was then able to follow up by telling Rep. Baldwin that she had, indeed, called her office numerous times and was told by the person answering the phone: "Tammy has been receiving a lot of calls on this issue and she is looking carefully into this bill." We know for a fact that several AFA members have voiced their opinions by calling and e-mailing Rep. Baldwin's office. Rep. Baldwin responded by telling Lynn that she would look into as soon as she returned to D.C. and would get back to her as soon as possible. That was nearly three months ago. We have not heard back from Tammy even after calling her office. Watch the video of the listening session here. Please call Rep. Baldwin's D.C. office at 202.225.2906: Ask her to support the Great Ape Protection Act, H.R. 1326, by signing on as a cosponsor. Tell her that you do not want tax dollars used on research using chimpanzees. Let her know that you appreciate her record on animal issues and that you trust that you will be able to count on her to support this important bill.

The stunningly beautiful and simple ads will direct people to our new website, www.simplyvegan.net. “Adopting a vegan diet is the best thing you can do for the planet, for your health, and of course for the animals,” says Lynn Pauly, Co-Director of Alliance for Animals. “We hear people say that they would go vegan if it were easier. Our website is a perfect example of how simple it really is to embrace a plant-based diet.” The Simply Vegan billboard will be appearing around Madison for the entire year. The bus ads will be posted throughout the summer.
