Python/Boa Ban deadline -- do something to help
It doesn't seem like the folks here really know that this could be the end of buying or selling Boas across state lines, if we don't try to pursuade congress otherwise . This has been the main topic on other forums that I visit - and for quite some time . If this news is new to you , then please educate yourself on the bill S373 . Here's some ways that you can help make a difference (copied from another forum thread) -----------

The DEADLINE for getting your letters opposing S373 to Tom Wolfe is fast approaching. Last day to overnight will be Monday the 11th so Tom Wolfe will have them for hand delivery to the Senate on Tuesday the 12th. This is extremely serious. If we do not succeed 1/3 of the Reptile Nation could be destroyed! Thousands will lose jobs. Many businesses will be bankrupted. Individuals could lose their homes. The time to ACT is NOW!!!!
We need an ALL OUT effort right now. It is very simple. Writing your letters like we did when we killed HR669 is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do right now. Follow the instructions below:
1. Letters to your Senators- Go to This page is dedicated to making it easy for you to write your Senators in order to KILL-S373 and follow the instructions. Use the ‘Sample Letter’. Watch the instructional video. There is no substitute for REAL letters. Do it NOW!!!
2. Email your Senators- This is NOT a substitute for REAL letters. Click the link below we have made it easy for you. EMAIL: Tell the US Senate to Stop the Python Ban! | United States Association of Reptile Keepers |
The future of the Reptile Nation could be decided by what you as an individual are prepared to do over the next few days. Do not miss this opportunity to make a difference! Our community needs to pull together as never before. Do NOT let this be the final days of the Reptile Industry and Hobby!
Special Message to Industry Leaders: If you make your living in the reptile trade you need to do all of the things listed above that the rest of the Reptile Nation is doing... and more! It is your responsibility to get a meeting with your Senator and make your case. You represent the industry in your state. By making direct contact with your Senators you give them a reason to oppose S373. Jobs and the Economy are important. Make your case. The time is NOW!!!
This page is dedicated to making it easy for you to write your Senators in order to KILL-S373 - DEADLINE January 12, 2010... overnight mail by January 11th.
