[FoA] ACTION ALERT: CLOUD CAPTURED - PLEASE HELP THESE HORSES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By now you

have all heard about the round up of the Pryor Range horses and that

Cloud has been captured. It is heartbreaking but we must

take action. This is new information I have received

that is very helpful in what to say when you make the calls. I

am cutting and pasting to make it more concise I did

not write it.

 

 

 

Maybe Cloud

will be returned (maybe) but the other horses will be sold and that

means slaughter. We need EVERYONE to

pitch in and make the calls. If the lines are busy - try again

later.

 

 

 

People to

call – read talking points below first:

 

-

President Obama and VP Biden – 202-456-9000 and 202-456-1111

 

-

White House switchboard number is 202-456-1414 – call your Senators and

Congressmen

 

-

Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's number is 202-456-6798.

 

-

Michelle Obama's number is 202-456-7064.

 

-

BLM Director Abbey - 202-208-3801

 

 

 

 

 

These

talking points will help in a couple of ways: 1)

they should help you stay on track when you make your calls. Bold

sentences are your main point. Supporting stuff is

underneath each main point.

 

 

 

2) When

you make calls, you will have limited time to make your case and this

should help...even if you leave it on a voice mail at a TV station.

 

 

 

3) We will be

a unified voice. It will be easier for us to be

recognized in our message if we are saying the same things....over and

over and over again.

 

 

 

TALKING

POINTS – choose one or two

 

 

 

Pryor

Mountain Wild Horse Range Gather, herd of PBS', Cloud, wild stallion of

the Rockies - Release Cloud the stallion's herd and all the others back

to their home

 

We

demand the release of the wild horses that have been illegally torn

away from their home in the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range, designated

as such in 1968 for the purpose of legally declaring this Federal land

as wild horse range.

Put

the wild horses already gathered back where they belong. The BLM has

removed them illegally. They have a home-the 38,000

acres of rangeland in the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. The Cloud

Foundation is working on a plan b, but the horses need to go back to

their home.

The

Cloud Foundation is working on keeping the horses and the family bands

intact

These families are well-known to all and we do not

want to see them torn apart.

 

We

will never give up on the wild horses, especially these. This

herd is the last of a line that is the lineage of the horses of the

Spanish Conquistadors. BLM is wiping away their genetic

viability. This herd is too special to lose. It

is our heritage

Bureau of Land Management is operating autonomously,

against the will of Congress and Americans, ignoring massive public

outcry and the law. They do not respond to FOIA requests, phone calls,

letters and even a direct letter from the chairman of the Congressional

subcommittee on public lands to suspend what they are doing and show

their plans. An audit is needed to reign in this rogue

government agency. Americans are being lied to by BLM;

being duped into believing that this gather and others are "necessary,"

when there is plenty of open range. (BLM has in many cases fenced

horses away from essential water and then used the word "necessary"

when they died of thirst.)

 

 

 

 

You can't leave a message at President Obama's number but

you can email.

 

 

 

E-mail

President Obama

 

You can leave a message for the BLM through

Salazar's number.

 

202-208-3100

press 5 and leave a message telling

them to stop the roundup of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses immediately.

 

You can leave a message for BLM Director

Abbey. They tell you to call another number but leave a message anyway.

 

202-208-3801

 

 

This is the number Abbey's office tells you

to call. A lady named Debbie answers and will argue with you for 20

minutes if you have the time.

 

866-468-7826
