ALERT: S373 Senate Call In Tomorrow (email from USARK)

I did my calls this morning. I am getting everyone I know to call.

Tracy

We've rounded up at least a dozen more people locally to call in.

Mailboxes on a bunch of them

I left messages where I could and talked to a few people who were more than willing to hear me out when I talked in a calm manner.

Make the calls people!

Took MAYBE 10 minutes guys.

Today's calls made. I really hate talking on the phone, but this is too important not to. :P
I managed to get the ones who wanted to rush me off the phone to sit and listen, this time. Still got a few voice mails, and got put on hold a couple of times.

Made my calls! It was much more easy than I thought!

The FULL list--this is the last day. Call 'em ALL.

CALL IN DAY: 12/2 ***LAST DAY***


Sample:
My name is _____. I oppose S373. Although I support and appreciate efforts to preserve the Everglades, there is NO evidence to show this bill will have any conservation effect on the Everglades. This bill will hurt American families in our state. It would Ban the captive bred trade in 40 species of pythons and destroy thousands of jobs in our state and across the country. Scientists have questioned the USGS report being used to justify this extreme proposal. Science should trump political expediency. Please oppose S373.
