Is S373 part of your future?

The response and participation of the masses has been woefully short. So far the numbers are absolutely pathetic. Where are you? What have you personally done? Do you think YOU are not in very real danger? You are an endangered species. If you have done nothing, you are like a sheep going to slaughter and those who are wide awake and fighting, need your help. YOU need your help!

We managed to send a loud and clear message to the US House of Representatives last year to stop HR669. The senate has yet to hear from the masses who will be harmed by S373 if it passes, and we all need to make our voices heard. The battle is not even close to over. The Bill can be amended still in the Senate. Unfortunately many assumed that amendments only occur in at the committee level. That is untrue. The Senate Bill S373 has at least three more steps to go through before it can no longer be amended. In the Senate, at the House level, and in the conference committee, changes can be made to create a bill that they believe will pass. Nobody has dodged a bullet in this fight. Nobody! Everyone is still fully in the crosshairs of the HSUS. The HSUS is working overtime to get this done with as MANY species on the bill as possible. When the Senators who may have an opportunity to vote on this bill do so, will your Senator have heard from you loud and clear? Will your Senator fear voting to bankrupt you and your business? Did you do everything you could to stop this bill from passing in any form!?
For the HSUS, this is NOT about a list of 9 snakes. They are in this for the long haul. If they see that the reptile nation has fallen asleep and believes they can have someone offer an amendment that includes all Pythons, that is what they want, they will do it! They want all of us to go down. It will be a sweet victory for them if they do just that, because most of us were asleep thinking they were no longer shooting at us. If you are not in this fight with both feet, you are a deer in the headlights waiting for the animal rights wacko tractor trailer to take you out.

This is NOT over! You are NOT safe. Your letters do count and are needed RIGHT NOW!

Watch this video I did, rough though it is, to describe this is greater detail.

i sent letters to ohio senate a few days ago and i have had everyone i know send the emails as well

I had a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. I have also sent letters to my senators as well as emails to everyone who's inbox would accept them.

I have enlisted all my family and friends to do the same. I even convinced one of my Co Workers to meet with his Senators in Maine... and he doesn't keep snakes.

Sunday, I am doing a presentation for the Kentucky Herp Society. There will also be a representative from US Fish and Wildlife there to do a presentation, so that should be fun.

Personally? I am wore out. If there is anything else that I can do, I don't know what it is.

We need everybody else to do all of that too. Time is short.

Morti can be incredibly insistent He used to sell cars, ya know?

I've had a face to face with local counsil members here and it was heated.I have sent letters to senators and even had my family do it. This is absurd. The bill cannot go thru. It would kill too much lots of people have worked for.
