We have several scripts on Hanaeleh’s webpages that you can use when calling your representative, but we’ve had several people ask for them in one place, so here they are! Feel free to copy/paste and bookmark this page when contacting your representatives.
Please remember that the BEST way to contact your representatives about horse issues is by telephone, but you can and should send follow-up e-mails and letters or postcards.

USDA Horse Soring Ruling script:
Hi, my name is _________ and I’m from __________(city, state). I’m calling to urge ________________ (Congressman or Senator’s name) to revive the USDA Ruling on Horse Soring so that it can be recorded into the Federal Register. Soring is torture and must stop now. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important ruling.
SAFE Act calling script:
Hi, my name is _________ and I’m from __________(city, state). I’m calling to urge ________________ (Congressman or Senator’s name) to co-sponsor the SAFE Act HR113. Passing the SAFE Act will stop thousands of America’s horses from cruel, inhumane treatment while keeping the US food supply free from toxic horse meat. This is a public health issue. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important bill.
BLM Roundups calling script:
Hi, my name is _________ and I’m from __________(city, state). I’m calling to urge ________________ (Congressman or Senator’s name) to ensure the BLM is held accountable for their mismanagement of America’s public lands and wild horses. Needless, inhumane roundups and incarceration of mustangs and burros must be stopped now. There is no scientific evidence that roundups are needed. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important ruling.
