How about a reply to Ken Salazar from Andrew Wyatt (USARK) or the attorney from (PIJAC) along the lines of:



I find it totally irresponsible that a government official would hold a press conference at the NY Port Authority at my expense, as a taxpayer, that the US Government is willing to ban imports of large constrictors and ban the interstate trade of these species because one State, Florida, might have a problem with Burmese Pythons in the Everglades.



The Obama Administration apparently supports the inclusion of these snakes under the Lacey Act.



I guess the government doesn't understand that the political upset that occurred in Massachusetts is the direct result of practices like this where the government is trampling the rights of responsible taxpaying citizens at the expense of supporting the fringe element in our society that wants everything for nothing.



Let's call on our republican representatives to take the lead in condeming these czarist practices by the current administration (federal government) to control our lives.



USARK and PIJAC, I believe should have anticipated this government action a long time ago, when this controversy, started and taken action. These organizations need to start addressing the real issues such as the banning of trade etc. in reptiles in states like New York and Pennsylvania.





When States pass illegal laws, these laws need to be challenged. We have to stop being totally reactionary in our approach to our Rights Issues as we have been regarding this snake ban issue.



Letters to representatives using the above arguments together with economic arguments might have an impact.
