Tell senators to oppose the Save Our Bacon Act in the Farm Bill

Why it's urgent

The House has passed a Farm Bill with the provision, and the group says attempts to add it to the Senate bill are expected. No vote date is given, so there is no fixed deadline.

The strategy

Senators help decide what goes into the final Farm Bill, and constituent messages show that state welfare laws matter to voters. One email adds little on its own, but it joins a campaign that has already drawn many responses.

Why it scored 58

Scale: Huge

Guess: several million to around 10 million pigs, hens and calves covered by state welfare laws, based on laws such as California's; the page only says 'millions' and gives no count.

Severity: Serious

The page describes caged confinement, mutilation and disease, and keeping state standards is a meaningful protection, though it is indirect and does not change conditions on farms by itself.

Chance of success: Plausible

The Senate version of the Farm Bill does not currently include the provision, but the group expects attempts to add it, so the outcome is open.

Your difference: Small

One email to a senator among the 50,919 messages the group reports, with no sign that each message is individually counted.
