Good Questions
Dear Readers,
One of you emailed me a copy of a great letter to a Congressman. Sadly, he didn't respond well, but her letter was so good, I wanted to share it with you.
Dear Terri,
I emailed one of the Congressmen, Mike Ross, and he said he was against the horses and wanted them to be sold for meat. His excuse was, "there are so many unwanted equines in the USA each year", so instead of finding them homes he wants to torture and murder them? I just don't understand people like him and there are so many of them in this world how are we going to save the horses? America wouldn't be the same with our mustangs and other horses. Do they not remember what Paul Revere rode to warn the Americans that the British were coming, what was are transportation for so many years and who takes us to the Olympics and give us joy each and every day? What are we going to do?
Caitlin
One thing we can do is pay attention! Caitlin's parents, her parents' friends, etc. are voters ; I wonder if they'll reconsider voting for this man? If he's still in office when Caitlin is old enough to vote, I bet she won't support him.
Do you know how your Congressman is voting on wild horse issues?
An easy way to stay on top of wild horse news is to set up a Google News Alert for your email account. Check with your parents, first, of course. Then, you go to Google's main page, click on the NEWS tab and when that page comes up, check the left side, by the little envelope and click on News Alert. This will take you to a page where you type in a search term for news stories. I put in "wild horses" ; if I were you, I'd use quotation marks, or you might receive updates on any newsstory with the words wild or horses and that could clog up your mailbox, big time.
How will this help? You will know what's going on -- sometimes within an hour of the time it happens!
Happy trails all you caring horse lovers,
Terri
