Well, this is what should be done.



There needs to be support for a few people to run for congress from our community. Isn't there anybody in say, California, New York, or Florida that have an interest in exotics that could run and be supported at a large enough level to be voted into office to end this crap? The reason I mention these states is because of their population and the weight they pull in voting.



I think this is the only way to finish this off completely. Granted they would be a junior member of congress, but they could always stand up and complain about these proposals.

I have emailed and called my congressional delegates and they don't even call me back or email me back. It is like this is not an important issue.



Wouldn't it be in the best interest of big box stores to lobby one of our own. Is there any member of congress that is vested in this issue? I know McCain has two turtles or tortoises. Isn't there any more out there???
