HR2811 ACT NOW! Only 1 day to act!

This will affect the entire USA. NOT just florida. Its in the US house of reps right now. On Tues July 28th, & Wed July 29th it goes before 2 different committees to try and pass this bill! Just 10 minutes of your time to call or fax to the numbers provided will stop this.

Thousands responded the last time they tried to pass a ban and we won. This time we need to double that number. Follow this link to the USARK.org forums for all the details and instructions!

Are there any email for them? I dont think my paretns want me calling them up. I really want to help just cant call. Any suggestions?

The reps outside your state usually can't be reached by email from people outside they're jurisdiction. Calling or faxes are also the best way to reach your reps.

Talk to your rents, they'll understand.

2kdime is right.. The best thing you can do is try to get permission to call or fax a letter to each of the phone numbers. You can make a copy of the sample letter with your name. Personalize it if you want but keep it short & professional. Remember to include your name, address & PH# at the bottom or it will be ignored. Make a copy of this & try to get to a fax machine with a list of the numbers. A school, office supply store, walmart, walgreens etc.. We need to get them to revise it to only include the import of the larger pythons that are causing the threat.

I posted a bulletin on MySpace about this. I doubt any of my friends would care because almost non of them are into reptiles.. especially snakes.. Let's just hope this bill doesn't pass. WE LOVE OUR PYTHONS!!!

I have this posted on two websites I'm on and trying to gather up friends who will help. I'll be calling in, but can't fax due to not having long distance.

When you call in do you talk to a machine or an actual person? just out of curiosity

Dont know if you get voice mail or a real person when you call. I'll start calling tomorrow. So far Ive faxed 2 letters to each #. A friend who works at a vet office had every employee fax one in each of their names. Ive posted numerous bulletins on myspace & a public blog. I have at least 30 breeders on my friends list including the official USARK myspace page. Ralph Davis has also been posting. Contact your local exotics vets & ask them to help as well. They are trying to pass each bill faster than the last to give us less time to react. Thanks to everyone who helps!

I'll be calling and faxing today!

I'm calling all my reps, and also all the sponsering reps.

Usually you get a live person(an intern), and you can just tell them "I'm opposed to HR2811" and they will ask you for whatever further information they want, if you're shy about calling.

Remember, these people work FOR YOU! They are representing YOUR voice to the rest of Congress! Do you want them saying "Yes, all my constiuants say they hate pythons!"??? Call them up!
