Rehberg Says "Nay" to Federal Meddling with Wild Horses
07/17/09
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Montana's Congressman, Denny Rehberg, released the following statement in response to his 'nay' vote on the "Restore Our American Mustangs Act" or the ROAM Act. This bill prevents responsible local management of wild horses and burros.
"From 2,500 miles away it’s easy condemn thousands of wild horses to a slow death from starvation. In Montana, where these beautiful animals are a part of our culture, the view is a little different. Whether its pine beetles, noxious weed infestations or raging wildfires, Montanans live with the consequences of federal meddling every day, and the remains of horses strewn about the landscape will symbolize yet another failed policy mandated from Washington, D.C."
