Heres and email I recieved from Dana

"I really appreciate your efforts in trying to organize a push for a more national base. The www.reptilenation.org idea sounds great. I only have one question for you...if the aim is an eventual national herp society, might we be better off coalescing around a more official-sounding site? I think www.americanherp.org might do well at getting people to take it at face value. I checked into www.ahs.org, but that is of course owned by the American Horticultural Society. Just an idea... Keep up the good work and let me know what I can do to help."



Heres was my response I hope this offers some incite to my intentions with reptilenation.org





Hello, my aim isnt a society per say I dont want something like that. I want to set something up that will speed up communication between the societys, buisnesses etc with the member/customer bases already in place. I dont want to create a new member base that I have to answer to or respond to, I know that sounds rude but I dont want to have to send emails or letters to "my members"or members of what I am working towards) I guess is a way to put it, When its something huge like NY state, chicago etc I want to be able to activate every herp society in the country on a days notice, that would work alot faster if I have say 48 people, one from each mainland state that I have to contact and then they distrubute the info to the societies and buisness within their state, something more to that effect, if something like that would have been inplace prior to this NY deal we would have caught it prior to this bill passing the assembly, activated all the societies across the US and hit them with such an overwelming respoce they would never think twice about trying to run it through again, but now we got an uphill battle and I am sure that all the postings and talk in the forums and elsewhere have only reached maybe 15% of the people we could with something like that in place, I speak to people everyday who have no idea this is all going on and their on ksnake and other websites everyday, somehow it just manages to slide past them, not their fault were just not reaching them



I guess I should have been more specific but I dont want something that is taking money either, main reason being I dont want anything that is going to compete or seem like it is competing for dollars from PIJAC or any of the herp societies out there. These days 9 out of 10 people that donate money dont have enough to donate to several places, so when they make that one donation I would rather it be a localized herp society with regular mettings that is more active within their community then anything I could do or they donate that money to PIJAC, for obvious reasons, im not very good at typing out my thoughts so if I have confused you just ask, Ill get back with ya on how you can help thanks



Oh one more thing, sorry, I choose reptilenation.org because of what it stands for me, a reptile information network for the nation, thanks Jason
