Is S373 part of your future?

Is S373 part of your future?

The response and participation of the masses has been woefully short. So far the numbers are absolutely pathetic. Where are you? What have you personally done? Do you think YOU are not in very real danger? You are an endangered species. If you have done nothing, you are like a sheep going to slaughter and those who are wide awake and fighting, need your help. YOU need your help!

We managed to send a loud and clear message to the US House of Representatives last year to stop HR669. The senate has yet to hear from the masses who will be harmed by S373 if it passes, and we all need to make our voices heard. The battle is not even close to over. The Bill can be amended still in the Senate. Unfortunately many assumed that amendments only occur in at the committee level. That is untrue. The Senate Bill S373 has at least three more steps to go through before it can no longer be amended. In the Senate, at the House level, and in the conference committee, changes can be made to create a bill that they believe will pass. Nobody has dodged a bullet in this fight. Nobody! Everyone is still fully in the crosshairs of the HSUS. The HSUS is working overtime to get this done with as MANY species on the bill as possible. When the Senators who may have an opportunity to vote on this bill do so, will your Senator have heard from you loud and clear? Will your Senator fear voting to bankrupt you and your business? Did you do everything you could to stop this bill from passing in any form!?

For the HSUS, this is NOT about a list of 9 snakes. They are in this for the long haul. If they see that the reptile nation has fallen asleep and believes they can have someone offer an amendment that includes all Pythons, that is what they want, they will do it! They want all of us to go down. It will be a sweet victory for them if they do just that, because most of us were asleep thinking they were no longer shooting at us. If you are not in this fight with both feet, you are a deer in the headlights waiting for the animal rights wacko tractor trailer to take you out.

This is NOT over! You are NOT safe. Your letters do count and are needed RIGHT NOW!

Watch this video I did, rough though it is, to describe this is greater detail.

I've been on this all the way, making calls, writing, etc. I have paid to have my letters hand-delivered, and I have put flyers around in the Petco and other places here.
So yeah, I have done my part.

Sending my letters out today! (I've already sent a pair of letters via another website.)

C'mon people! Think a bill like this wouldn't ever pass the Senate or House? Have you heard of a Rider? People in the insurance company use Riders, too. They are bills (or extra fees, for insurance) politicians don't think would pass on their own that are attached to other bills that will almost certainly pass. This is how they can get their pet projects passed even if they know projects wouldn't pass on their own!

Think this doesn't happen? I'm from Indiana. Several years ago, the government wanted to waste a ton of money on a new stadium for the Colts when the state really couldn't support such spending. The proponents of the new stadium knew it wouldn't pass on its own, so they attached it as a Rider to another bill that had no difficulty passing! So despite that few wanted to spend the money on a new stadium, it got through anyway. So yes, this is a very real possibility!!!!!

YOUR PET WILL BE NEXT!

I sent out an email campagin to everyone on my email list. I talk to ppl constantly, I have sent letters and I have made the phone calls.

I am planning on calling into a local talk radio station and contacting Alice Cooper who has a HUGE radio show. I need to get on that though and stop procrastinating.
