The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn’t cost you a thing.

Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned / neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along to people you know.

IF YOU ARE A TATTOO ARTIST, APPRECIATOR OR KNOW SOMEONE IN THE INDUSTRY PLEASE READ THIS!

Florida State Senator Eleanor Sobel has drafted bill S1130, which would make getting a license to tattoo so difficult that it would likely force many legitimate artists underground or completely out of business.

Stevie Moon & other tattoo artists in FL hava started a petition against the passing of this bill and needs your help in spreading the word. Even if you're not a Florida resident, these types of changes affect all of us and WILL spread to our own states if allowed to thrive in others. Please visit IPetitions and sign your name to the petition that states we do NOT support this bill.

Please forward to everyone you know (tattoo artist or not), as they want to eventually make this ridiculous bill national.

To vote against the bill, please visit the iPetitions page at:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/TattooBill/

To learn more about the legislation, click here:

More Information:

Below is a website created to contact all the State Senators with one easy email. Please people, the only way to beat this thing is to let your senators know we don't want this bill.

Visit: http://sb1130.linkgen.net/

Send this link to everyone you know who is affected by this outrageous bill. Click here
