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)
