From USARK:






"S373 aka ‘The Python Ban’ has been amended to include the 9 great constrictors referenced in the recent report released by the US Geological Survey entitled Giant Constrictors: Biological and Management Profiles and an Establishment Risk Assessment for Nine Large Species of Pythons, Anacondas, and the Boa Constrictor. If passed as written S373 would add all 9 snakes to the Injurious Wildlife list of the Lacey Act making it a felony to engage in the import, export and interstate transport of any of these animals.

This possibility is unacceptable to USARK and the Reptile Nation. We are encouraging everyone with an interest in S373 to click on www.Kill-S373.com and participate in the USARK Kill S373 Letter Campaign. There you will find step by step instructions, a sample letter, contact information and even an instructional video to help you write your US Senators an effective letter opposing S373. We have learned that written letters are one of the most effective ways to lobby Congress. Sending an email is NOT enough! Write your letters. Get your friends and family involved writing letters too.

USARK spearheaded a similar letter writing campaign last spring. The Reptile Nation generated 50,000 letters opposing HR669. The bill was crushed. Time to do it again! Spread the web address www.Kill-S373.com all over the internet. Put it on your facebook page. Put it on your MySpace page. Twitter it. Post it on every forum or social networking site that you frequent. Email it to everyone you know! www.Kill-S373.com will take you straight to the resources you need to do your letters. We have made it as easy as it can possibly be, but it will require some effort. January 12th is our deadline. We don’t have much time. Do it today!

If you are an Industry Leader You Must Make an APPOINTMENT to MEET With Your Senators!! If you care about your business you will do this!!!

Oh man, I was hoping for a meteor or giant Sunami. Geez, if that's all it is, then I'm not empressed. Oh wait, you're talking about THAT S-373.

Oh-no!

A mere coincidence.

The above is VERY important, not the stuff of threads meant for humor.

I don't want anyone to think I'm making light of that.

But it ain't got squat to do with what may happen HERE, bp.net, on 1.12.10.

It may not happen. It's already come close to not happening, but so far, it still looks more likely than not.

Now, I got to go sharpen my Mermaid Pie Seeking Device and see if I can't spear me, er I mean, find me something good.

I would say this if there was no correlation between the two dates. However, the dates match, and I see it as a guess in response to Wes' original post. As Wes said, it's a mere coincidence...not a thread hijack.

Yeah, well, this post was made a couple of days ago and sort of seems to cover the whole S373 thing.

Could it be the date of the S373 vote?

As I said, a mere coincidence. Hopefully both occurrences will have the same happy conclusion and not a shared fate.

No problems here.

This is supposed to be more fun than not.

If you don't like fun and/or Mermaid Pie, this may not be the thread for you, eh spitfire?
