USARK Oppose HR669 Phone Campaign

USARK Apr 20, 2009 09:15 AM

Hopefully everyone has done their Oppose HR669 Letters. This morning is your last chance to overnight them to Tom Wolfe for morning delivery tomorrow. Tom and his staff will hand delivery ALL letters to the House Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife in time for the April 23rd Hearing. As of Saturday delivery we are nearing 20,000 letters received. We will report the exact final number of letters prior to the Hearing. If you didn't do your letters, shame on you.

The next step is to start phoning in to Subcommittee members. Here in the 11th hour leading up to the hearing we need to clog the phone lines with calls to Oppose HR669! The Reptile Nation really stepped up to the plate with the Oppose HR669 Letter Campaign. Now it is time to do the same with Oppose HR669 Phone Campaign. We have now created a Grass Roots Army that can have enormous impact if we just do what needs to be done.

This is very simple. All you need to do is the following:

1. Call every member of the Subcommittee. If the member is your Congressman call their District office. Otherwise call the Washington DC office.

2. Give your name.

3. Remind them that they are on the Subcommittee on Insular Affairs Oceans & Wildlife.

4. Tell them you want to put on record your Strong Opposition to HR669.

5. Thank them for listening to your concerns.
That's all you have to do.

***Remember you won't be speaking to the Congressman. You will be speaking to his/her staff. Be professional and polite.

Now hit the phones! Let's demonstrate the power of the Reptile Nation Grass Roots Army!!!

I would love to see a reply to this post to show our strength and unity on this matter.

Remember you still have a couple of days to at least call and voice your opposition.

Please...DO SOMETHING!!!

The common response I heard while making my calls was that the congressman's offices had been getting a lot of phone calls asking for a no vote.

At least two of the congressman were already in opposition of the bill.

We can do this everyone.........

I shortened the USAK note down to the key points for myself (can't mak my calls from in my office) and thought it might help others so.....

1. Call every member of the Subcommittee. If the member is your Congressman call their District office. Otherwise call the Washington DC office.

2. Give your name.

3. Remind them that they are on the Subcommittee on Insular Affairs Oceans & Wildlife.

4. Tell them you want to put on record your Strong Opposition to HR669.

5. Thank them for listening to your concerns.

***Remember you won't be speaking to the Congressman. You will be speaking to his/her staff. Be professional and polite.
