The page with the names and contacts of the committee members disappeared this weekend. Perhaps they do that to avoid getting slammed.

I'll post it as soon as I can find them.

Let them know that it will negatively impact your hobby.

If you are willing, send them letters. They are even more effective.

Help me keep all herps legal in my state, I'll return the favor WHEN (not IF) it happens to you and your state.

Thanks,
