The communication between the people who will be effected by this legislation and the people who oppose HR669, needs to be directed right at the sub committee members. An email sent to your congressman is good, but most congress members are not on the committee and do not know anything about it yet. Please do not comfort yourself with the notion that you sent an email and you did all you should. If that is all you did, you did do something, but a tiny fraction of what you should have done and you are a small portion of the voice that those committee members are hearing from those who sent their letters directly to the sub committee members through the USARK lobbyist, Tom Wolfe. Your email should have been followed up with letters to every single member of the sub committee! This is exactly why USARK has worked in the most effective manor to get the masses to communicate directly with the members of the sub-committee. Emails do count. However, they are not nearly as effective and weighty as a paper letter sent to the hill, but every little bit helps.

It’s not too late for you to make a meaningful contribution to the fight! Get on the phone and politely tell the sub committee members that you oppose HR669 in any form! Your Reptile business/hobby may depend on your call. Call now!

If this bill does not die April 23, we are not done! USARK is still leading the charge for the masses to send letters, and make phone calls until this is completely removed from consideration. Be prepared to continue the fight and do the right thing. If needed the next letter campaign will be even bigger! Even more meaningful and more of you can get with the program and give your support to USARK and the battle we cannot fight as effectively without your support and direct participation in sending in paper letters with your signature. The effectiveness and value of these letters cannot be overstated. Don’t take the lazy way out! Pick up that musket and get into the action!

Congratulations to all those that have joined the fight and contributed to the explosion that the 40,000 plus letters we are hand delivering last week and this week directly to the members of the sub committee. This is a direct result of the coming together of USARK and the thousands of people who have signed the letters that will be influential in the ultimate defeat of this fraudulent bill, that the extremists have tried to sneak through the congress.

Thank you!
