Wild Horses and Burros Need Our Voices Now More Than Ever Before

This page will give you the ideas and instructions on how to contact your legislators using the letters and information we want to send to them.  But we all need help! Get your spouse, partner, kids, family, friends, classrooms, book groups, writing groups, yoga class, and riding clubs involved!  Every letter counts and the only way Congress will listen is if they receive thousands of letters and postcards. Can we do it? Velma Johnston, aka Wild Horse Annie, did. So I hope we can too!

Wild horses need our voices - let's make it happen!

How to contact your legislators:

Step 1: Get Prepared
Get the name of your U.S. Representative and both of your U.S. Senators. These are the U.S. Members of Congress. You can find out who those people are here: www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and here: www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm 

• Then go to their website and write down their DC office mailing address and the office mailing address located in your state (sometimes they might have more than one, choose the one in the largest town), their DC and local state phone numbers and fax numbers if you have access to a fax machine.

• Note where their Contact Me page is on their website

• If you live in a state or area with wild horses and/or burros, then also make note of your local state legislators including your State Senator and Assembly person.  

• Then call each office and ask which aide or staffer you can address issues of public lands, wildlife and wild horses & burros with. Ask for their email address. (Remember the aides or staffers are often young people in their 20's and are more than happy to have nice people to talk to!). If there is no staffer for public lands or wildlife, then ask who would be the best to send information about animal issues to.

We have got to make our voices heard to Congress. They work for us. They unanimously signed the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse & Burro Act of 1971 and now it's time for them to truly protect our wild horses & burros.

Use the information above to contacct your US Representative & both US Senators, and use their Contact page to send them this script:

"Hello Representative (or Senator), I am writing to you today to ask for an immediate moratorium on all wild horse & burro roundups until Congress investigates the Bureau of Land Management's violations of the Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program (CAWP), wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars on wild horse & burro roundups, their mismanagement of the Wild Horse & Burro Program, and lack of transparency with the American public and Congress."

Keep your message civil, mature, but strongly worded. No yelling, ALL CAPS, or threats. We want them to work with us, not against us and the horses.

And YES, it will help. If we don't make our voices heard, then nothing will happen. If we work together and every single one of us participates, then we will make change.
