I'm calling them at the moment! Some of them are super polite, and some of them less than polite, but I haven't been hung up on yet. They always thank me for calling, though.

Re: Call and Fax!!
K!
The guy at Tom Roony's office was very nice, and said that they have had, "A lot of reptile and python owners responding about this."
Great work everyone!!!
He also said that Rooney is working on rewording the bill that will be presented tomorrow to specify Burms. "The language of the Bill will be rewritten."
Or something to that effect... Keep it up!
Grey Scale is a good thing...

Re: Call and Fax!!
I just sent my faxes and made my calls and most of the aides knew immediately that I was calling about the 'python bill'---I'm hoping that is good news.

Re: Call and Fax!!
Just made the calls. Everyone was very polite. But it didn't sound as if the phones were ringing off the hook...Next will be the faxes.
