Hello and Happy Tuesday to everyone!

HOW EXCITING!!!! 

TOMORROW – S1377 will have its second hearing!  The Energy & Natural Resources Committee’s Subcommittee on National Parks will meet to discuss amendments to the legislation!

We have created a NEW Call to Action for this hearing!  What we need to do is EXACTLY what we have already successfully done before – just like we did with SCR 4014 & SCR 4006 and all of the other resolutions we had passed over the last three years! 

Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates has submitted testimony and we are now asking you to take our one click Call to Action requesting our amendments be included in the committee’s recommendation for the legislation.

Over 1200 emails have already been sent to the committee through this link!  We have a couple of other partners who will be sending out their own Call to Action too! 

You can take this one click Call to Action here: https://secure.everyaction.com/1v1WhnNkvkqn-R5HCbWv_w2 you can also scan the QR code on the image at the bottom of this blog!

REMEMBER – you can send this email as many times as you like! We also ask that you recruit your friends, co-workers, family members and anyone else you can think of to take a moment to take this easy action to speak up for the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park!

You are in GOOD company!!!  Have you seen it?  Our list of other groups/organizations supporting our request for amendments has grown!  25 different groups/organizations have now signed on to support our request for amendments! If you are a photographer or nonprofit that would like your name added to the list, please email us at info@chwha.org  We will be sending a final list to the committee later this evening!
