Keep your letters, posts, messages, shares, and forwards coming!!!!!!!! PLEASE SEND TODAY!!
You are doing GREAT!

We are starting with a THANK YOU for this next letter! Huh? Yep, today’s letter is going to the Nevada Board of Agriculture member Woody Worthington, who was the lone "NO" vote on the decision by the Board.  


HOW YOU CAN HELP - It's Easy!!!! It's URGENT!!!!

Your action is again URGENTLY needed to protect the Virginia Range wild horses!!!! 
WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!!!!  
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED AGAIN MORE THAN EVER BEFORE!!!!!

Our beloved wild horses have once again been put in dire straits by a mini-group of misinformed miscreants who are too blind to see the huge mistake they have made in misjudging the Power of the People!!!!!!! 

LET THE ROAR BEGIN!

ACTION ITEM - DAY 7

YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR THE WILD ONES!!!!

We are still asking you to use some of your own words. It’s important that the Board members hear from individuals, not just form letters. We’ve given you an intro, including the THANK YOU, and some talking points to consider - use your own words to fill in the body of the email. You can keep it short and to the point, in fact that’s best. Let them know that YOU want them to reverse their decision.

Here are some talking points -
  • what the Virginia Range wild horses mean to you
  • the majority of our community and business members want to see the horses remain on the range under humane management and oppose any decision that could put them at risk
  • the decision violates Nevada Revised Statute 569
  • the transfer would be costly to Nevada's taxpayers to implement under NRS 569
  • the Virgina Range wild horses are a draw for tourism dollars for our surrounding cities and towns, and a draw for incoming businesses
  • it would be impossible for a non-profit organization to secure liability insurance to cover these horses who roam on primarily privately owned tracts of land

Today's letter is going to Woody Worthington, the lone Nevada Board of Agriculture member to vote against the decision to 'transfer ownership' of the horses.

  1. Open an email and copy and paste the letter (see below) into the body of the email
  2. Type your own words (deleting 'add your own comments here'), be brief but concise
  3. Type [email protected] in the "TO" box
  4. Type "Official Correspondence to the Nevada Board of Agriculture" in the subject line
  5. Type your Name and Address at the bottom of the letter under "Sincerely" - this will give your message legitimacy and identify it as coming from a human and not generated by a "robot" computer
  6. Hit send - you're done for Day #7!!!!

Dear Woody Worthington,

Thank you for your sensible and logical “NO” vote at the Tuesday, December 12, 2017 meeting of the Nevada Board of Agriculture to transfer ownership of the Virginia Range feral/estray horses to a non-profit organization. I am asking you to call a special meeting of the Nevada Board of Agriculture to reverse that decision.
