Andrew,



I've been trying to read all the forum threads on many sites, as well as your updates, so I may have missed this, but has there been consideration for a peacefull protest in DC to obtain positive media coverage, and provide the proper understanding of the motives behind this bill, correct the mistruths and show corporate america how strong this industry is and the financial impact this will have on breeders, wholes/distribute, pet shops and manufacturers that support our industry. I'm not limiting this to those that will be impacted by the 9 constrictors but the entire Reptile Nation and hopefully all pet sectors as this will eventuallu affect them as well.



There should also be an understanding of international trade which will be affected by this law considering Europe obtain much of their reptiles of American exporters.



I don't think I'm exagerating when I say I can now envision the day where owning a Goldfish will be considered a crime.



I'm also a fisherman and see how the self serving groups have slowly removed large areas from recreational fisherman.



Thank you

Alejandro Garriga
