I think it is an outstanding idea. Particularly the organization you speak of. I have been saying for over a year now that there should be some organization at the state and local levels to do exactly these types of things. It is not reasonable to think that one "national" organization such as USARK is going to be effective at these levels. And let's face it, stopping the national onslaught is just the tip of the iceberg. What does it matter if you stop the banning of large constrictors nationally if every city, county and state in the nation forbids their ownership? Just ask Bill Kirby. There are just too many local and state ordinances that desperately need attention for Andrew to handle personally. I (along with a couple other folks) proposed a state level organization of USARK, but I've heard no feedback that it is in the works, or the idea was totally nixed, or what. But, I continue to support the concept of a nationally coordinated and affiliated state and local organization.
