Ever hear of emailing your Senators and Representatives? I email my Congress Critters on a regular basis. They know who I am. I bet my emails get more attention than some wholesale comment web page. I've already gotten 3 emails concerning Maryland SB 505. I am on the mailing list of the committee chair. anything that goes out for distribution concerning this subject, is sent to me.
I wonder why you're taking such interest in my not wanting to leave my concerns on a dot gov web page? If you read my comment, I don't like the looks of the page and I'm not going to take part. You can do whatever you like. My Congress Critters already know how I feel on this subject.

Re: Where to complain about the Lacey Act proposal
If your congress critters do not know who you are, and where you are from, then they aren't paying any attention to you. E-mailing them provides them with your IP. If you don't give them your name and location in addition to that, they simply won't care.
My objection is to your making others question whether this is legitimate--it's a .gov site, and spammers do not get those. It's not a phishing scheme. It is legitimate.
Adding something to the Lacey Act requires a certain process. This call for opinions is part of that process. Talk to your senators all you like, but if you don't get your opinion to the right people at the right time, it won't count. This is no longer a Bill we're talking about here.
