LATEST CALL TO ACTION!

Hello Friends of Wild Horses and Burros,

Several weeks ago we asked you to contact your Representatives in the US House, to urge them to support the Rahall-Whitfield Interior Appropriations Amendment. You spoke out in massive numbers and we won that vote by a landslide!

Unfortunately, the amendment was not introduced in the Senate version of the interior Appropriations bill.

There is still a chance however to hold onto the victory that we achieved in the House. The House and Senate will be meeting in Conference to hash out the differences between their bills and draft a final, unified version. We need you to contact Members of the Senate that are on the Conference Committee and ask them to “keep the Rahall Whitfield amendment in the final version of the Interior Appropriations bill.”

Here is the list of Senators on the Conference Committee.

Senator Conrad Burns (Chairman) (MT) 202 224-2644
Senator Ted Stevens (AK) 202 224-3004
Senator Thad Cochran (MS) 202 224-5054
Senator Pete Domenici (NM) 202 224-6621
Senator Robert Bennett (UT) 202 224-5444
Senator Judd Gregg (NH) 202 224-3324
Senator Larry Craig (ID) 202 224-2752
Senator Wayne Allard (CO) 202 224-5941
Senator Byron Dorgan (Ranking Member) (ND) 202 224-2551
Senator Robert C. Byrd (WV) 202 224-3954
Senator Patrick Leahy (VT) 202 224-4242
Senator Harry Reid (NV) 202 224-3542
Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) 202 224-3841
Senator Barbara Mikulski (MD) 202 224-4654
Senator Herb Kohl (WI) 202 224-5653

Please call them today and ask others to call. Do not write or email - that takes too long for them to process and there is no time for that.

Ask for a definitive reply quickly. You don’t have to live in those states, but people who do have more clout as they are constituents.

On behalf of the horses, thank you!
