I wanted to share my success story from this weekend in gaining opposition to S373. My hope is that this story will inspire those who are fighting to continue fighting, those who have helped but could help more - to do more, and those who haven't fought, to step up and make their voice heard.

I contacted USARK about manning a booth at the Orlando Repticon show on January 16th and 17th. They were all in! Mack got in touch with the show promoters and secured a table for me.

So, in the 14 hours the show was open, I was able to collect approximately 350 signed letters for Senators George LeMieux and Bill Nelson. Total was approximately 700 letters in opposition of S373!

I know there were others out there doing the same thing at other shows and I'd like to thank each of them for their hard work and dedication. I'd also like to thank all of the folks who stopped by the booth to sign the letters. Every single person who chose to sign the letters has made a difference!

If you have the time, please volunteer for these sorts of initiatives. They can make SUCH a difference!

You are awesome!!!!!

I am heading out to three local pet stores that were happy to leaves letters out for their customers. I am really hoping for the best. I'll be overnighting them to USARK this afternoon (I am in CA).

I am proud to be a part of a community that is this passionate about their animals and legitimate legislation.

Great Job, we have the Atlanta show at the end of this month, hopefully it still won't be too late to replicate your efforts!!!!

That is awesome Jonathan! Good job!

I hope lots of people were out collecting sigs at shows and pet stores.

I had my family and co-workers sign, it's not much but I got a little over 20 people (about 40 letters). I'm trying to get a few more tonight and will overnight the entire batch tomorrow.

Thanks go out to everyone that has been working on this! Every little bit helps!

I've sent my letters in and encourage everyone to do the same. Any customizing you can do will probably make it mean more.

JB - you are the man!!
