  5. The is a great addition to our hope for saving Cloud, his herds and all Wild Horses. Unfortunately, the website given for Congressman Grijalva is only available to those in his district in AZ. I will try to access him through the Congressional offices in DC to thank him for H RES 284 to honor the Cloud and all wild horses and Burros. God Bless him and all those who vote to pass this resolution.
