    I don't know why anyone in the fight against HR 669 would say anything to discourage one method or another .... PIJAC (the organization LEADING this fight in Washington D.C.) has advised that emails, phone calls, letters, and in person meeting are ALL equally effective tools in fighting against HR 669. They each have their different draw backs and that's why they must ALL be done.

    Divisiveness, no matter how slight, isn't going to help. Encouraging people to do as much as they possibly can with EVERY method of communication to Congress is the way we can and will win. Why not be an advocate for all methods equally ... why not do WHATEVER it takes.

    I'm in contact daily with the head lobbyist for the pet industry and emails, letters, phone calls, and meeting are all having an impact ... keep it up!

    Thank you for your time.

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    I could say a lot more about a lot of people and online websites that could be doing more to stop this but I will not.

    The problem I'm having Adam is most people feel that if they send an email they have made the largest impact they could have made and they are now done.

    Then most people are just telling people to go to nohr669.com and send emails and that's all.

    I think nohr669.com is a great website, it just kills me when people think it's the only way to win this fight.

    I know of no one that is just telling anyone to just send emails, and I'm talking to people ALL day on the phone and in emails. If I heard someone saying to just do one of anything, I would stand up and tell them that they are wrong. If you'd like to point me at anyone saying to just send emails, I'd be happy to tell them what an idiot they are.

    I applaud you for being passionate about sending letters, but if you were equally passionate about having people email, call, and arrange in person meetings, think about how much better off we'd all be.

    Just my thoughts for whatever they are worth.

    Thank you.

    Re: Your urgent help is needed!

    I say do them all, send emails, make phone calls, try to arrange meetings, and encourage everybody you know weither they keep snakes or not to do so. This will have a huge impact on alot of things. I've sent emails and made phone calls, and i'm trying to arrange a meeting also so i can really get in depth.

    Please remember that the major post I have done on here and other places are a step by step tutorial.

    This is not a pieing match but, every time I tell people to do anything I tell them about nohr669.com. But I always tell them to send letters first before I tell people to do anything else.

    Why do I do that? Because I feel it makes the largest impact.

    It's the same reason you always tell people to send emails and go to nohr6699.com before letters. You may feel they make the largest impact.

    I found out about this whole HR669 crap late but have been trying to make up for it. I know people that have no interest in the bill at all our even care about reptiles or other animals but they know how our government works and I'm doing and supporting what they and I feel will make the largest impact.
