One thing that our reviews have found is that very few herp societies have issued a position statement as an organization
regarding H.R. 669 yet. It is important that each official herp club and society issue a formal statement regarding the proposal, and that statement be sent to the societies members, published to it's web site, and sent to the committee members as well. If your herp society has not issued a position statement yet, jab them with a stick until they do, and then post it here so that everyone can use them as examples.

We have been very very active here both publicly and privately behind the scenes to bring a number of HR669 projects to fruition
within the limited time frame given. Additionally we have been working directly with Marshall Meyers at PIJAC as well as Ralph Davis and Jeff Ronne at USARK, as well as providing consulting to a number of individuals, businesses, pet and other organizations regarding 669. Bear in mind that our pet communities serve pet owners of every species at risk and we have been providing these services to owners, businesses, and organizations in the bird, aquaria, pond, and mammal areas as well as reptiles.
