Today’s Call to Action is for EVERYONE!
Yesterday’s call to action asked residents of the state of North Dakota to contact their state legislators and ask them to support a resolution asking Theodore Roosevelt National Park to allow the wild horses to stay in the park. We also asked ALL of you to send thank you letters to the two North Dakota Senate leaders who said they will draft the resolution: Senator Jay Elkin and Senator Dean Rummel. Please see yesterday’s blog post for this call to action: https://chwha.org/2023/01/02/call-to-action-4/
Today we have another THANK YOU email that we would like you to send. Representative Josh Boschee has been talking with us about how we can lobby the state and essentially get the state of North Dakota to advocate with us by having a resolution drafted and sent to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Josh is working on a few other things in this fight and among them, he has offered to co-sponsor the resolution asking the park to keep the wild horses with Senator Elkin and Senator Rummel! Please send a THANK YOU e-mail to Josh for all of his hard work. You can email him at josh@joshuaboschee.com
Our other ask today is for everyone to send emails to Senate and House members of North Dakota’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The letter to them should be respectful and short and to the point. An example you can use:
I am outraged that Theodore Roosevelt National Park announced their plans to remove the ENTIRE herd of wild horses from the park! I am writing to you today to respectfully request that the state of North Dakota support the resolution being drafted by Senator Jay Elkin and Senator Dean Rummel asking Theodore Roosevelt National Park to keep our state’s ONLY herd wild horses in the park. I appreciate your support in helping to save our iconic herd of wild horses.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your support!
Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates is committed to advocating for a wild horse management plan and protection for these unique wild horses that call Theodore Roosevelt National Park home! We are fighting for a management plan that is guided by science especially when it comes to decisions regarding the removal of horses and the administration of birth control. Many other wild horse management plans have proven to be successful with their science-based plans. We are asking for the same for this amazing group of wild horses that call Theodore Roosevelt National Park home.
