Vote Here for HR 669

I haven't seen this post yet. If i just missed it then just delete this thread. I'm posting the link to www.govit.com where you can actually vote on HR 669, and see how others are voting. I don't know if the votes will count for anything, but it can't hurt right? Vote here:

http://www.govit.com/vote/congress.a...ll=2009-hr-669

For whatever it's worth, I registered and voted No.

registered & voted

It seems to be hugely leaning toward no. Hopefully the representatives will see it, and realize how much we care about what happens in this country.

I definitely voted no.

voted via facebook, hopefully friends will get linked there.

OMG. That's nice. :mad:

to the right there are the sponsor and co-sponsors of this bill I went ahead and called them just to bug them and tell the I adamantly opposed HR669 and was very disappointed to see the support for this poorly crafted purposed legislation. If you click the link and there Washington office number isn't listed just Google search there name with Washington office number add to it you will find it. If they are in your district please call them you can really count for something the rest of us are just harassing them to show opposition which is important also.

This is more evidence that this bill was crafted by extremest animal groups, then they got someone who has NO STAKE, NONE in invasive animal species in the Continental United States to sponsor the bill.

You know what... that makes a lot of sense. Though I don't know if it will ever be proven.

I figured it had something to do with brown tree snakes in Guam, but honestly this seems more plausible...

Not only that... but other of the co-sponsors are ALSO non-US state representatives. Guam and the Virgin Islands, the Mariana Islands, American Somoa.. they don't even get to VOTE on the bills.. so why are they allowed to PROPOSE bills????
