I couldn't believe it when I read it. But sure enough, insanity continues to infiltrate the halls of Congress. Three days ago, I came across an article (linked below) from the blog HotAir about West Virginia's 3rd District Representative, Mr. Nick Rahall, offering up House Resolution 1018, otherwise known as the "Restore our American Mustangs Act." If only this was talking about Ford Mustangs, then at least we would know it was something to do with the American auto industry.
The "good" Congressman (I use the good term lightly) is abdicating spending up to $700 million dollars to preserve wild horses in the country. This includes the purchase of 19 million acres of land (so it's obvious it's a land grab) to come into provision with the following statement from section one of the bill:
(1) ensure that acreage available for wild and free-roaming horses and burros is at least equal to the acreage where they were found in 1971
According to the news article, the acreage would equal to the amount listed above.
While I don't enjoy linking to any political party's site, the Republican National Committee does a good job of summarizing this. CLICK HERE.
The House recently passed this bill, and now the bill goes to the Senate. The voting on bill was pretty much down party lines. So what can you do to help?
CALL YOUR SENATORS! Tell Udall and Bennet with unemployment at 9.5 percent and projected to grow, wild horses shouldn't be a priority of getting Americans back to work. There contact information is below:

PLEASE STOP THIS INSANITY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to know why this insane spending is going on in DC. This country is going to pieces, YOU must STOP IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wild horses and jackasses" are not truly wild like deer and elk. They are animals that either escaped from their owners or were turned loose. Let the activists turn loose lots of wolves where the horses have ruined the land. We have a government that is ruled by idiots!
