I've talked to several people the last few days and when discussing how this bill moved forward they were shocked. My brother told me that if he didn't know I was telling him the truth he wouldn't have believed it. Also, if they move a bill forward like this what's next? Our gov't talks about how they want to help the unemployed and small business and this bill would do the opposite. What other business and jobs will be attacked next? The same day that this bill moved forward our gov't was discussing how they should change the college football playoff system. The worst economy of our time and 10% unemployment and they're discussing college football??

I also think it may be a good idea to see how other lobbiests and PR companies have addressed subjects that aren't so popular or well known. The more ways we attack this bill the better.

Just throwing some ideas out there...
I could not agree with you more, it is very important to make it so that it is not a reptile film, but a film exposing bad politics. This is about a hobby that generate hundreds of thousands of jobs, we are not an underground business like some people think. We could both open peoples eyes to our incredible hobby while making sure the focus is on job loss, economic impact not to mention pull at peoples hearts with the fact that hundreds of thousands of animals are the real losers in all of this. Like the comment that we could sell their skins to offset the loss, I'm sure people would be blown away that our elected officials feel that way towards helpless animals. I'm open to any and all ideas. This would be for the community but made in a way that would transend the community. Thanks for the thoughts! Brian(BHB)
