Time for Action
The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) sent the following message today regarding legislation to be taken up during the special session beginning Monday. You are urged to add your voice in support of Kentucky's prized signature industry.
Right now is one of the most critical times in our industry. It is crunch time. We learned last week that the Governor has added our issue to the Special Session.
The session begins on Monday, June 15th.
Here is how you can help the horse industry right now:
1st - Sign our online petition supporting the addition of Video Lottery Terminals at Kentucky's racetracks. We will be collecting signatures until the session begins this Monday.

2nd - If a KY resident, call and e-mail your legislators. They need to hear from the horse industry RIGHT NOW. If you have called in the past, GREAT. Call again! Senators and Representatives both need to hear our united voice LOUD and CLEAR!
3rd - Visit the
KEEP website for information on how to contact your legislator and how to sign the online petition.
4th - Tell EVERYONE you know to also do Steps 1 and 2. We need ALL of Kentucky to support this industry.
There has never been a time like right now in Kentucky!
