No HR 669 at the Dixie Reptile Show

[tigerlily]

Well I had a rough start and missed out on a lot of the fun, because I had a sick child at home. (poor thing is still running a fever) I did make it for half of the show and dinner though, so I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with some awesome friends!

First off a big thank you to Terry Heuring for allowing us to set up and help get the word out. We came across a lot of people who had not even heard about HR 669, so I'm excited we may have lit fires under a lot more supporters of our cause. I'm not exactly sure how many letters we were able to get mailed out, but it was a lot!!! My fingers got so cramped it hurt to hold the pen, so I took to talking and handing out flyers. Of course, then I talked so much that my throat hurt so I went back to addressing envelopes again. I'm pretty sure we were all in pain with tingling, cramped fingers that were throbbing from all the paper cuts. It was exhausting, and our group was awesome in their dedication!

Thanks again for all the work you guys did! I'm glad to have been a small part of it.

Here's our table and our activists at work!

These weren't even all of the letters we did! We had another whole box to add to this! (unfortunately I had to go home to my kid, so I didn't get THAT pic)
