    My point exactly. I didn't realize all along that I was harboring deadly burmese pythons who will squeeze me to death. Oh my!

    btw, just got back an email response from Grace Napolitano, who is one listed to contact. NOT my district, but might be worth some more emails to her. So some are getting through even if we aren't in their district.

    But that doesn't mean we should ignore it either.
    Your first sentence is exactly what they are counting on our reaction being. They want us to think it's too crazy to pass so that we won't act. We HAVE to band together!

    Exactly! The fish store by me didn't have a clue, my pet store that sells reptiles and birds didn't have a clue, my co-workers that I passed the Pijac alert to didn't have a clue! My cubemate's grand daugher has guinea pigs and both of them are so pissed off, that they're getting involved. They would never have known that about this bill if I hadn't told them.

    Re: HR 669: What Are the Chances?

    I called my local PETCO and the Mom and Pop store that I get my rats from.

    PETCO told me that they couldn't let their customers know until Corporate said something. The Mom and Pop store was freaked out.
