We Hire a Republican Lobbiest
Big Cat Rescue hired a Republican lobbyist, Jason Osborne to assure Republicans that this is a bipartisan bill where everyone can agree that big cats don’t belong in backyards and basements. Howie had met him and gave he and his family a tour during the Republican Convention when it was in Tampa as Jason was the Director of External Affairs for the 2012 Republican National Convention. He was also the Senior Federal Liaison for the National Rifle Association (NRA) from Aug 1999 - Jan 2006 and was responsible for NRA-related issues before the U.S. Senate and House Appropriations and Budget, Ways and Means, Finance Committees, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the Office of Management and Budget. This guy knew some Republicans and was loved by the NRA so he could reach the other side of the aisle for us on this issue that he really cared about; which was protecting tigers.
Every one of our Republican co sponsors since then has been by our combined efforts as most of the other Big Cat Coalition members just don’t have good relationships with Republicans due to their campaigns against the farmed animal industry.
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
