The audience will include children, young adults and others who own horses, ride them or are just interested in participating. Our coursework will be available to both public and private schools across the country and around the world. Our goal in this “fair evaluation exercise" in the Democracy Project will be for the participants to discuss their of our course material in focus groups. These participants would promote the encouragement of fair and appropriate treatment of the wild mustangs and burros that live on our public lands, influenced by current scientific evidence. As well through an oversight by reviewing BLM management strategies within the agency. The current Wild Horse & Burro Act of 1971 has been amended to strip away those very important protections set to manage these wild horses and burros on the original sites found in 1971. Please review in the section entitled “Get Involved” on this website and read "To be an Effective Advocate” in the drop-down menu and all topics outlined on that page.

The process of our program will be to bring the interested readers to our website, then encouraging those participants to do research at a public or formal school computer library. The website content, and our case study material will encourage individuals to read our references, the listed books and journal articles. Also to review the internet links of advocate groups. The result would nurture each individual to express their fair evaluation points of view in the form of a letter, phone call or e-mail to their State Representatives and the President of the United States.
The Democracy Project includes our case study course workbook and encourages those interested readers to review our references, those listed books and journal articles on our website. The material can be located on the internet at a public library, at home on your computer or at the school computer library. In addition we have included the internet links to numerous advocate groups to further your insight to other valuable information. The result of your interaction with the “Democracy Project” will nurture your experience to express fair evaluation points among your friends or in an organized group. The wild horses and burros that live on our public lands belong to every American citizen. It's our given right to express our viewpoints for their welfare for generations to come. Please get involved by gaining the knowledge from what’s available on this website as they need our help.
With flowing tail, and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretch’d by pain,
Mouths bloodless to the bit and rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscarr’d by spur and rod,
A thousand horses, the wild, the free,
Like waves that follow o’er the free,
Came thickly thundering on...
They stop, they start, they snuff the air,
Gallop a moment here and there,
Approach, retire, wheel round and round,
Then plunging back with sudden bound,
Headed by one black mighty steed,
Who seem’d the patriarch of his breed,
Without a single speck of hair
Of white upon his shaggy hide;
They snort, they foam, neigh, swerve aside,
And backward to the forest fly,
By instinct, from a human eye.
-- Extract from Mazepra by Lord Byron
