Next step in this fight, Git er' done

The Python Bill S373 is moving its way through the United States Senate right now. It is on the last leg of its potential journey through the Senate. We do not know if the thousands of calls made by those who have taken this seriously will make the difference or not yet. We do know that they have heard us. However, we cannot sit by and wait. The race in NOT over. The battle is NOT won. Each of you can and must do something more. Thursday this week is the day that Amendments may be offered. Then we will find out if the Senate cares that thousands of people will be affected by this legislation. Please note; nothing is going to become law on Thursday, but the next move will likely occur that day or soon after.

USARK has detailed the next step to be taken at the following link:

Now after you have done that, contact your other Herp friends and make sure they are doing the same! This is it. Time to do all we can to make sure we are not decimated by the animal rights extremists who have us in their sites. Do it!

Great video. I posted and shared on twitter and facebook. Already filled out the USARK form. Very easy, very quick. Let's spread the word.

Wrote the president, the media and pasted on Facebook. Hope it helps.

Is there an easier way to get to the form on USARK's webpage ? I looked at every link and didn't see it. The reason I'm asking is because I want to tell other people to go and do this ( I work PT at a local Reptile shop and can tell customers about it tonight ) but other people may not take the time to go thru the various links to get to it from the KS forums. If there were a direct link to the form on USARK's homepage we may get a lot more casual herp keepers involved.
Thanks

found it .. under the " Reptile Nation " - Reptile nation news forum, then "oppose the python ban " post.

At least with this I can tell other casual herp owners that don't know about Kingsnake.com how to go there and register their opposition.
