I am writing as your constituent in the 0th Congressional district of Montana. I support H.R.2657 - Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability. Our national wildlife refuges should be just that, refuges, where animals can be free from harm -- especially the lingering deaths often imposed by traps.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hane
