Just got an e-mail from PIJAC and they are very concerned that a lot of the feedback they are getting is that a lot of the congressional offices are telling people that we are over reacting and that the animals we all keep will be on the approved list and that we have nothing to worry about. Of course the reality is that if the animals that we keep are not in any jeopardy then why do they have a risk assestment attached to them to get on the approved list as well as why do some of the special interest groups that are pushing this through congress have ball pythons on their brochures?? They could easily re write the bill so that there is no grey areas. Do you feel comfortable with our fate in the hands of an already flawed bill??? We need to really get the word out that this tactic is to stop the phone calls and e-mails that they are getting flooded with. We have to not only keep the pressure up but increase the pressure. In a way this is good news, we are getting them sick of us and they want us to go away. We have to make sure that we tell everyone that we need to keep turning up the pressure and to NOT listen to things that are not backed in truth, but in empty promises! They can just change the wording of the proposed bill if our animals are not in danger. Why don't they do that???? Please spread the word to everyone you know about this latest tactic. We do now want people to start to think that we are okay and stop e-mailing, writing letters, calling, and meeting with their reps. Thanks again for everyones support! Brian(BHB)
