    If you have the time please email them and ask them to help out by posting a banner and doing the other needed things like: calling, emailing and sending letters.

    It never hurts to tell someone about this over and over again. You'd be amazed by how many people just don't know about this still.

    A lot of people have been busy writing letters and making phone calls. Give them a few days to update their websites. I just got around to mine a few hours ago.

    Re: 8 simple steps to stopping HR669! - Please send in your "NO HR669" letters.

    I sent out my 22 letters today in an envelope to Mr. Wolfe. I'm going to start calling next week as it gets to be within 3-4 days of the vote. I'm also doing the noHR669 website thing every day and I'm going to start calling my local congressman too. I love animals and I'm so sick and tired of these stupid "animal rights" groups trying to take away everything we love and cherish. Animal rights my foot, what are they going to do with all the millions of "illegal" pets we already have? Kill them all? Heck, the fact that it isn't even just reptiles really infuriates me. They're going to tell me that I can't go get a Parakeet for my daughter for absolutely no reason other than some idiots with money say I can't have one? I'll tell them where they can go...

    This bill is so un-American it isn't even funny. One good thing though is that we also have the mega-chain stores on our side in this and they know for sure that if they let this pass then they are going to REALLY be hurting.

    So we don't need to put stamps on the individual letters?

    If you send the packet to Tom Wolfe, the individual letters do not need stamps
    He will hand deliver them.

    I just recieved this email from USARK:

    If you have written your letters to the Committee on Insular Affairs, Oceans & Wildlife opposing HR669... Thank you!!!-- now go get your friends and colleagues to do the same!

    If you have NOT written your letters.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!! We are running out of time. All letters need to be to Tom Wolfe's office by Tuesday April 21st. That means your final opportunity will be to OVERNIGHT a package to him NO LATER THAN MONDAY! Get it DONE!!!

    ALL LETTERS MUST BE TO TOM WOLFE'S OFFICE BY TUESDAY APRIL 21st!!!!!

    REMEMBER the 3 most effective way to influence the Subcommittee and Congress as a whole:

    1. Personal appearances in Congressional offices.
    2. Real Letters delivered in mass.
    3. Phone Calls.
    ALL LETTERS MUST BE TO TOM WOLFE'S OFFICE BY TUESDAY APRIL 21st!!!!!

    IF YOU ARE SLACKING AND HAVEN'T SENT YOUR LETTERS - STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND SEND THEM!!!



    We need these letters. It's a vital part of the fight in stopping this HR669 bill.

    I borrowed this image to show people this idea. If you have the ability to do it, the pink sticker is a good idea also.

    I really like the pink "NO HR669" sticker idea. I'll put them on all the letters I have.
