Rewild the wild ones. Anyone that actually has the best interest of the wild horses and burros of our country gets my vote. Hard No to GonaCon and something better thsn PZP needs to be talked about. Bringing back our predators will help our wildlife better than any “management” plan thought up by man. Not running over animals with snowmobiles or any other vehicle is also a Hard No. Getting cattle/ sheep off our public lands. If he agrees. I will support.

Court Boice - Oregon State Representative, District 1:
Captain Bill Simpson is highly respected throughout the Western United States. He is a True Patriot, Principled, Hard Working, a Cost Cutter and completely Ethical. Captain Bill is a logger, rancher, and scientist. He is a strong philosophical, historical and fiscal conservative. His empirical experience in Natural Resources, Wildlife, Fire Fighting, Wise Timber Management, and protecting our Environment is without equal in the USA and in particular when it comes to our North American Wild Horses. I have worked with Bill Simpson for almost 10 years, however he has been a good friend much longer. I can offer substantial evidence that Captain Bill is the premiere knowledgeable person in the World related to North American Wild Horses and Burrows. He has a solid background and in my view is unquestionably your best choice for Director of the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program. I urge you to immediately take advantage of his superior experience! We need Bill Simpson in this very important position. I can personally attest (and thank goodness) Captain Bill has always been a Donald Trump supporter. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

There is no one better than Captain Bill Simpson to oversee the success of the Bureau of Land Management Wild Horse & Burro Program. Mr. Simpson has devoted much of his life to the wellbeing of these majestic creatures that have carried America on their backs. United States taxpayers and citizens will be most fortunate with Captain Bill Simpson’s appointment as director. - Britt

I fully support Capt. William E Simpson. He is 100% correct. Common sense is needed to protect these majestic wild herds, true icons of our American Spirit. He has the knowledge, strength of will, and the integrity required.

Making public lands benefit Americans is an old challenge, especially when they contain America’siconic wild horses.We now have an opportunity to solve the wild horse problem, and to fire-proof forests, by putting horses back in our wild places where they belong.
Previously considered ‘exotics’, American horses are increasingly considered native by many scientists, scholars, Native American tribes and even Mormons whose scriptures record that horses were found by early Mormons in about 600 BC.
Echoing theses cultural views, for almost 60-years American law has been “…that wild hoses and burros are a living symbol of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, and that these horses contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of Congress, that wild, free roaming horses, and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this, they are to be considered in the area where presently found as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands."
The horse evolved in North America, where horses and their ancestors were present for 60-million years. The genetic debate is hard to follow, but, suffice it to say that while Modern and Ancient American horses look different, they, like wolves and dachshunds are so close genetically as to be virtually - if not literally - the same species.
The war on wild horses is based on the false science of invasive species biology, ecological illiteracy, and the increasingly anti-American orthodoxy of the universities and agencies. From these grow the mismanagement of our wild horses, and absurd ‘solutions’ such as horse birth control, eugenic destruction of entire wild bloodlines, and confinement of ‘surplus’ numbers in feedlots at huge expense to the taxpayer. These violate common sense, science, and established law.
At the same time and for similar reasons, our public forests are experiencing catastrophic wildfires, not because of warming climate, but because there is not enough animal impact from biodiverse wildlife to keep them open, and, to suppress the accumulation of fine ground fuels that are the tinder that ignites and spreads catastrophic fires.
William Simpson has advocated a common sense solution that addresses both problems: allowing this native animal to spread back into areas - remote and unusable for livestock - where they were always found until early native Americans hunted them out or killed them accidentally with introduced diseases. These horses can ‘fire-proof’ forests, increase biodiversity, and improve conditions for all wildlife. This will benefit Americans and their livelihoods.

with your statement, I would like to know more about your “horse” sense.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Even with the HMA acreage cut way back, being reduced almost by 1/2, there is still plenty of room for horses, burros, cattle, and sheep. This statement does not take into account damage done to our public lands, from many sources, but there is plenty of room for all. Especially if you increase the AUM fees to the 5 or 6 BIG corporate “Ranchers”- Ted Turner, J.R. Simplot Company, Barron Hilton, Mary Hewlett Jaffe (Hewlett Packard heiress), Walton family (Walmart owners), Anheuser-Busch, the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, Agri Beef Co., & Barrick Gold Corporation. Can ANYONE tell me Why these corporations are grazing cattle on our public lands for $1.35/month/AUM (cow-calf pairs). Thank you.
Well, some have accused me of being equivalent to the posterior of the animal under consideration, whereas I would simply say that specific quadrant often comments on most political matters in a succinct, salient way.
I guess you could say I’ve passed my general “Ed” on the subject.
I support this candidate.
Support Bill Simpson.
