Wow!
I think it would be a great idea, but the only problem is that what you are talking about would take months to complete, and would probably not be finished and distributed until after the bill has been denied or approved.
If your goal is to get people informed about this specific bill and have them do something, it probably won't do a whole lot of good. But, if your goal was to alert people about the situation in general and to be on the lookout for future bills, then I think it would be a great idea!

Like I said earlier this thread, this would not help with this bill. I'm sure in a long thread it's hard to follow everything that is said. This is more to document what has happened with this bill and the fall out that a bill like this would have on our hobby and our already ailing economy. Being that it is a bill that should have never been presented on a federal level seeing as the entire premiss of the bill is based on a USGS survey that is based in bad science. I think we can really shine light on how corrupt this entire process has been with not even having any tesimony from any expert witnesses on our side. No matter how this bill ends up this would help us from futher attacks, rest assured they are coming. If we expose some of the politics behind this and what has happened here I truly believe that we can get public opinion on our side, because as you know it is cetainly not on our side at the moment. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks, Brian(BHB)

I almost hate to ask, but what does Laurie think of this possible huge undertaking?

In this case she is surprisingly supportive. She knows how much this hobby means to me and she said that she would stand by me through the entire process. Although I don't have many snakes that are on this list to be banned, it's still devistating to me personally. It's nice to have Dav Kaufman (herpers) in as well. He knows how to make a documentary and will take a lot of pressure off me, not to mention he knows how to get it in all the indy film festivals. Thanks, Brian(BHB)

My idea for a name... " One Block At A Time... The Dismantling of the American Pet Industry."

I think the film would be a great idea. Even if we defeat this bill, I think it would be good to show the public just how screwed up the political machine is. But yes, I think this is definitely a project worth undertaking, and would be willing to do anything I could to help with it.
