To all that is tired of Politics in BPs.

Hi,

I just called in today to oppose HR2811. I was honestly not going to do it because I thought after HR669, we could get a break from our government trying to screw with our business or hobby. Well, here we go again...Another bill. I was totally blown away that we are trying to oppose another bill threatening our snakes. Is this going to be an endless battle...? Probably, but what inspired me to call in was a youtube video of Jeff Ronne Sr from Boaphile asking for help with call ins. I felt if he could take the time to make a video I had 20 minutes to call in to the Feds. After getting to Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX), I was really glad I made an effort to call in. It started to feel really good to help. I know we all hate politics, and big government, and we can all finger point later, but do you really want to sit by idly while the government slips bills by us that they know we will get tired of fighting that will destroy all the years of hard work breeding out killer BPs. Thanks to Jeff, it won't be me. Thank you for motivating me to see the big picture and helping fight these ridiculous bills that threaten our future. By the way this is the last day to call in. DO IT, DO IT NOW....A terminator reference that I think is appropriate.

Regards,
Bill R.

If you are in this business in any way.....you must put some effort into protecting your interest. I sent out 20+ faxes today and made many phone calls as well. Not what I really wanted to be doing...but I was obligated to do it to protect my right to have these animals. I know the HSUS is fighting all the way to take that right away from me and I will do all that I can to not let that happen. Everyone needs to do the same and together we can, hopefully, be successful in this fight.
