    H.R. 669 Flyers

    Hi,

    Since our stupid principal didn't let us speak at a school assembly, I'm making my own flyers:

    "noHR669.com

    There is a bill in the House of Representatives that will essentially ban all ownership, breeding, selling, and transporting over state lines of imported animals apart from cats and dogs. The goal is to prevent nonnative wildlife from becoming a threat to the economy, the people, and the environment.

    The bill was written by a radical environmentalist group, and is in no way supported by scientific evidence.

    This will affect you:

    • No more captive hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc.
    • No more captive birds
    • No more captive fish
    • No more captive reptiles and amphibians
    • No more food for your current animals
    • No more Petco, Petsmart, and other pet shops

    A subcommittee of Congress has scheduled a hearing to approve H.R. 669 on April 23. Act now!

    You can send pre-written e-mails and call your Representative, all within one minute, to oppose H.R. 669!
    Your e-mails, letters, and phone calls will make a difference!

    noHR669.com"


    Of course the important parts are bold, larger, and different colors.

    Should I add anything?

    The nohr669.com site has a flier made up if you wanted to check it against yours, or use it.

    If it wasn't 12:30am.. I'd read yours and check it against the relevant details.. but I'm old and need sleep.

    Is there a place where I can get this flyer NOT .pdf? I've been asking everywhere and getting ignored. My adobe reader won't read it, I even downloaded a new reader.

    I think the flyer on the website was too long... you know, these are lazy high school kids.

    Re: H.R. 669 Flyers

    I agree that the flyer has a little too much text. I'm probably going to make up my own. I went to graphic design school for a year and a half so I should do okay. But I really wanted to see the actual flyer so that I have a good base of facts and format to work from. So thank you guys for getting it to me.
