It was mentioned that we need a "lobbying" party for situations like this. We already have one. It's called PIJAC. Pet Industry Joint Advisory Committee. That's where the money from the NARBC auction's goes to. Individuals, collectors, breeders, hobbiests, retailers, wholesalers, anyone can join. They are the pet industry voice in washington. I'm not saying we should not write letters regarding this preposed ban, everyone should but it would not hurt to join PIJAC as well. I don't have the details on joining but I would assume you could google it. Just thought I would bring this up. Also for those that have been around for a while, may remember whan there was a preposed ban on venomous snakes back in the late 70's. Due to an overwhelming amount of letters, petitions and phone calls by the reptile community the preposal got shot down real quick. Remember, "strenght in numbers".
