A Challenge - Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

[Skiploder]

For the record, I am not for or against such legislation - I see the merit but I also see where it could be built upon to further restrict our rights.

The reason why I bring it up is simple - why did Mr. Wyatt and Ms. Chen-Walsh deny something that they clearly did say?

Her quotes:

Kevin,

I just double checked with Andrew. This is not true. Andrew has never proposed the North Carolina statute in any other state, not prior to joining USARK, not during his tenure with USARK and not since.

There seems to be a general desire to smear Andrew Wyatt by a few members of the community. I am not saying that is what you are doing here, Kev, but you know I have heard this before and you know where I have heard it.

Let me state clearly, Herp Alliance is not proposing the NC bill in any state nor do we have plans to do so. If there is a different reason why this is relevant, by all means let me know.

Thanks,
Erika


Kev,

Thanks for clarifying. That is an absolute NO. Wyatt has never proposed it anywhere else.

SC twice tried to hijack it on their own and Andrew killed it both times. The last time was in 2012 when Andrew and USARK's former lobbyist, Frank Vitello, killed it. Vitello was working for TIGERS. They tag teamed the senator and he pulled the bill.

Kev, consider your source, please.

and Kevin's questions:


Hi Erika,

This same set of rigorous standards was offered to South Carolina......... It was rejected but "offered' as I understand it. I am not interjecting ANYTHING about OHIO since there are people such as yourself that are in the trenches and know first hand.

I am interested in these Regs. being offered to another state that was NOT in the process of changing its laws.

I am trying to clarify this point. Can I please get a response if you know anything about this?


Kev



I am just looking for total clarification that NOTHING like this was ever done or even "spoken of".... I am responding to things that have been said over and over again and I am trying to unravel the mystery here.

To be painfully clear..... not word play, these regs. or a rendition of such regs. has never been offered, regarded, mentioned, endorsed or elluded to.
No one from S.C. State agencies has engaged in conversations regarding their existing laws and changes to the above....?

Ok, so the official statement is a firm NO. There are no set of dots that can be connected here.... These types of conversations have never occurred?


And Erika, you know I think the world of you! I am not trying to poke you...I just need absolute clarity to such facts.... I need to clarify the things that I am led to believe.


Thanks - Kev

Am I looking at this wrong?
