I have something that might cheer everyone up.
A couple weeks back, I e-mailed one of my senators concerning the python ban..I got a reply today:
Thank you for your recent correspondence. As your voice in Washington, D.C., I appreciate being made aware of your views.
Your thoughts were informative regarding S. 373, a bill to include constrictor snakes of the species Python genera as an injurious animal. This bill has been referred to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, of which I am the ranking member. As we consider this legislation, I will keep your comments in mind.
Even though I return to the state almost every weekend, I do not always have the opportunity to listen to everyone's ideas. These ideas are important, as they are the building blocks of Oklahoma's representation here in Washington. When you share these ideas with me, you are sharing them with Congress and, in turn, the nation.
Again, thank you for your comments. Please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Crossing my fingers that I influenced his decision for our side.
