    Say bye bye to pythons...
    Some offices of the representatives to call haven't even had 2 dozen calls yet regarding HR2811.
    The phone lines need to be flooded, wake up people. :mad:

    I just finished calling all the numbers. I wasn't able to get one number, but it was a home office.

    That's so sad to hear. Big turnout on HR669 and then a flop with this round, doesn't make any sense.

    HR669 was regarding all pets, so you have the bird keeps, the fish keepers, the rodent keepers, along with the snake/reptile keepers. This is only the snake keepers.

    well, this sucks.

    if this passes, however, all of our collections just skyrocketed in value.

    if you don't believe me, look at any and all other things that become banned or outlawed.

    anyway, its ultimately not about the money, but about the freedom being taken away :(

    Were making an impact!!!
    Keep calling and faxing a personal letter with your personal info to every number! Make sure you get every number! Keep going all day if you have to! I was told by one rep that they have recieved more calls on this than any other issue in the house right now! Here are all the numbers. Keep at it. If you get a busy line move to the next one!

    Time is critical, so please take the time to contact the following Congresspeople and ask them -- POLITELY -- to send this bill back to be amended to use the scientific names of the specific animals they're seeking to restrict, and not include common housepets along with animals of concern.

    Chair:

    John Conyers, Jr., (D) Michigan, 14th, email: john.conyers@mail.house.gov, phone: 202-225-5126, fax: 202-225-0072

    Ranking member:

    Lamar Smith, (R) Texas, 21st: phone: 202-225-4236, fax: 202-225-8628

    Key members for this bill:


    Tom Rooney, (R) Florida, 16th: phone: 202-225-5792, fax: 202-225-3132 (co-sponsor)

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz, (D) Florida, 20th: Phone: 202-225-7931, fax: 202-226-2052

    Robert Wexler, (D) Florida, 19th: phone: phone: 202-225-3001, fax: 202-225-5974 (co-sponsor)
    The bill's author; he is not on this committee, but contact his office also:

    Congressman Kendrick Meek (D) Florida; phone 202-225-4506; fax 202-226-0777

    Below, you'll find the remaining members of the Judiciary Committee. If you have time to contact them as well, that would be helpful, but at the very least scan the list and see if your represenative is there, and contact him or her.
