Cleverly named, but insidiously drafted, the so-called "Right to Farm" state ballot initiative in Oklahoma was similar. It failed by a 60-40 margin (in a Trump state!) b/c farmers, ranchers, consumers & ppl who care about the environment & animal welfare spoke out.

Now is the time to stop the King Amendment. Everyone who cares about health, the environment, & the treatment of animals, must be heard NOW—loud & clear.
