Rico and All,
What you speak about is something that our group, The American Herpetological Association (AHA), is willing to add to our agenda. We, also, are going to be a herper's rights group modeled after the NRA. We need a professional organization no doubt and if we don't hurry up and get this done we will find all of our rights and privileges gone.
The problem with creating any organization is finding the time and money to get it done. I have been working on the AHA for many months now but it is a slow go. I have other pressing things to do as well, like herps and school. To start with we will need money and volunteers but to really be successful we will need paid employees. I have had some folks say they are interested in being members but no one has stepped up to volunteer their time. It seems folks want action but are not willing to put in the effort it will take to get there.
