Here's an email I just got back....wonder if I'll hear from the President?
Dear Charlotte:
Thank you for contacting me regarding wild horses. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me.
On July 17th, 2009, the House of Representatives voted in favor of the Restore Our American Mustangs Act (H.R. 1018) by a vote of 239-185. I supported H.R. 1018 that amends the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act by prohibiting the slaughter of wild horses and burros and limits the circumstances in which these animals could be removed from the land they inhabit. Other provisions of this legislation would expand the number of acres available to wild horses and burros to 53.5 million acres.
The Restore Our American Mustangs Act has been referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for further consideration. I will continue to monitor this issue and keep your comments in mind as the House of Representatives considers future legislation related to wild horses and burros.
Again, thank you for sharing you thoughts with me. Please continue to contact me on all issues of importance to you and to our district.
Sincerely,
MIKE THOMPSON
Member of Congress
