    Why would any reasonable person be expected to believe that someone who goes on a public forum and posts that HR699 will not pass is actually taking the time behind the scenes to send out correspondence to their representative in congress? People only know what you tell them ... you didn't say "HR669 will not pass, but even though I believe that I still sent an email to support the effort against it" ... you said "this bill and most others will never pass" and "I see nothing to worry about".

    No one called you a bad guy ... but it is my opinion that it's certainly less than responsible to post authoritatively on a public forum that HR669 will never pass and make no mention that even though you believe that you still emailed your representative. Many people read internet message boards and form opinions based on what is posted. If even one person read your post stating that it is your belief that HR669 will never pass and decided not to send an email because of it, your email was sent in vain.

    These bills are now a reality of this hobby/business ... if not HR669, then the next one, or the one after that ... they will not stop ... ever ... all it will take is one time ... one time for each of us as individuals to be lazy, or complacent, or numb ... and we will ALL lose.

    If everyone sent an email ... each and every time these things come up ... and after sending that email, they each got a friend to also send an email ... and instead of sitting back and saying that it will NEVER pass, those people stood up and said "it doesn't have a snow balls chance in hell of passing, but lets turn up the heat just to send a message", do you know what we would be? ... UNITED, STRONG, a real COMMUNITY of liked minded people keeping and breeding the animals that we love. Wouldn't that be better than just sitting back and saying that it will never happen?

    Just my $.02 for whatever it's worth.
