Generally I do not post on sites, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.

There is a Fall Wild Horse & Burros summit meeting in late September, this month, in ARLINGTON, VA… which is outskirts of D.C.—that might be the perfect time to DO this! There will likely be a number of horse advocates going to this anyway. (I have no clue what it would take to transport a horse to there, but I know there are several Rescue ranches & Assoc’s in Pennsylvania & New Jersey & -I think, Virginia; so those people are very close.)
re: [“Charge on Washington.” Hard to organize, but if horses in D.C. are considered vehicles with a right to the road, as they are in most states, you could “gallop” on Washington.]

please see one of earlier Cloud Foundation posts and/or on Pryor Wild regarding summit– it was posted in late August or 1st Sept. (I know I saved, but can’t locate it right now…there have been a LOT of postings in last 15 days!)

Yes, the Majestic Raven seems to have died over the Winter of 2007-2008! No specific reason was stated, nor the time or specifics about how he was found; I have saved photos and postings of siting him looking beautiful and healthy several times throughout Summer & Autumn of 2007. He was Ginger’s “Spirit horse”!
Here is a “clip” I saved from Ginger’s Q&A post, that I titled
[Q&A date 07/01/2008]:
“You mention you had horses. I only had one horse at a time on our farm so was totally ignorant about the rich lives wild horses have in their family bands.
What an eye opener when I started filming and met Raven, the black stallion who is Cloud’s father. I still get chills when I remember first seeing him in March of 1994, eating snow at the base of a red butte at dawn. He died over this past winter, and I am sad about this, of course, but happy that his life was lived in Freedom.
It is rare that a wild horse gets to live their entire life in the place where they were born.
We created http://www.thecloudfoundation.org to see if we can turn that unhappy statistic around.
Happy Trails! Ginger”

I also thank the Great Creator that neither the royal RAVEN nor brave SHAMAN lived to see these horrible days; they both lived in TOTAL FREEDOM all their great lives!

I thought they already caught Flint and his young foals, and separated them in the corals.

I agree with what you are saying. Petitions can easily be thrown into the trash.
I recently spoke with Compassion Over Killing. Their strategy was a number of 30 second public service announcements spots (PSA) to air on numerous channels. They targeted VH!, Bravo and many other channels. This Can be done also by having more than one PSA.
It is important to reach a wider public, not just horse lovers spread all across the country, and I agree that the style has to be different from the show. I started calling stations in Los Angeles to get estimates, and it is possible to air something as early as this week. If we plan it right, we might be able to air an entire campaign in major cities. I am available to help, and I have filming and editing equipment. Another thing I learned is that stations sometimes have even free slots left over. Who wants to help by calling sale executives in various cities to get costs for airing and find free time as well? I have started with Los Angeles and Time Warner Cable, it would help if more people get involved so we can have a quick turn around, as well as a determine what we are saying and how we can target it to various audiences.
Seriously, I work in the film industry, but I have not met anyone here who knows about the plight of the American wild horse, and documentaries take time and might only reach a “niche market”. Public service announcements are viewed while people of all ages who watch all types of shows. This is the way to show our mustang as the national symbol. Please contact me, I have started doing research and writing, as well as contacted business owners to raise funds.

I just sent in a $100 donation to Cloud Foundation. Maybe if we all send in what we can, it will enable them to keep up the fight. Meanwhile I am continuing to call my US Senators & the Whitehouse to voice my opposition to this roundup. I also emailed a request for Oprah to do a story on the BLM mismanagement & illegal treatment of the mustangs. If she gets enough requests, maybe she’ll do a story & she reaches & inspires a big audience. And, I agree with someone else’s suggestion to contact other national humane groups & ask them to join the fight.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! Bolder is rounded up!? This is HORRIBLE!
No, no, no. The Bureau of Lies and Mismanagement is, is, a
_________ (<– things I should not say)
Next may be Flint, and then Cloud or Cloud's mother's band.
(By the way, does anyone know what happened to Cloud's father, Raven?)

I agree with Carole on most of her post but keeping the heat on Washington with constant calls and emails does keep the cause on the front burner. I know it’s hard to keep the interest in calling up but when the Whitehouse has to put in another line with message because we’re clogging up their switchboard we are doing alot of good. To me it’s just a matter of staying the course and including all other good ideas along the way. America’s attention span is very short and folks have a tremendous amount on their individual plates right now but staying STRONG with a CONSTANT VOICE does get attention. I sure like Carole’s ideas for making even more noise and using ALL avenues of media ect. It’s just that we cannot stop or let up the least little bit until they are all safe. God’s speed and protection to ALL that our working so hard. It’s always been a hard fight because of WHO we’re fighting but WE CAN DO THIS. We have to make sure that America see’s and stays aware of what’s at stake. Take Care Everyone.
