S.T.O.M.P. is an organization comprised of mule enthusiasts whose primary purpose is to eradicate mule prejudice. Its members believe that they can achieve this goal through research, education and political activism. A second purpose of the organization is to provide a social and business network for other mule enthusiasts.
S.T.O.M.P.’s Educational Task Force (S-ETF) is a sort of mule think tank. The S-ETF is attempting to identify the root causes of mule prejudice and eliminate that prejudice through education. For example, the S-ETF believes that the common sentiment that mules are stubborn is inaccurate and perpetuated partly by people buying poorly trained mules. To that end, S-ETF has written articles on picking a trainer and how to purchase the right mule. S-ETF is also conducting research and slowly uncovering evidence of the shadowy and powerful Horse Industrial Complex. As this information is slowly uncovered, S-ETF will be planning covert counterintelligence operations. S-ETF must proceed cautiously, as it is believed that the Horse Industrial Complex has influence over much of the nation’s most powerful institutions.
S.T.O.M.P.’s Political Action Network (S-PAN) works to identify areas of society (including the legal and political system) that discriminate against mules and work to alleviate those prejudices. Efforts will be made by S-PAN to support pro mule political candidates, lobby for changes in the law and bring legal challenges to existing laws where necessary. S-PAN is currently looking for some good people to work as lobbyists.
Please contact S.T.O.M.P. by email (info@mulerights.net) if you are willing to volunteer for S-ETF or S-PAN.
