What do you have in mind to propose. Second do you not know that USARK has already testified before Congress and Shawn Heflick as USARK'S representative will be on Capitol Hill again very soon giving more testimoney. Please let me and others know exactly what you have in mind. USARK has helped promulgate regulations in N. Carolina and in GA and both states used them instead of an outright ban. At present Jim Peters, Bill Brandt, and Eugene Bessette work tirelessly with the FWC in making better regulatory laws that all can live with. Bill and Eugene have been doing this for well over a decade at their own expense and all Fl. Herpers owe them a debt of gratitude. Many of these things you propose are and have been done. This is why we "assume" you don't know because you're presenting it as a new idea which it's not. If it's something radically different we would be interested in knowing about it and will aid any way we can. By the way USARK even has paid lobbiest in DC just as other special interest groups have. I would suggest joining USARK and PIJAC. I'm a gold member and proud of it. Many others here have donated thousands of dollars and man hours to try to solve these problems and to head off others...thanks
