Just finished all the calls.

Smith: Aide transferred me to a comment line for the Judiciary Committee, stating this would be the appropriate place to leave a comment on the bill, rather than for Smith himself.

Chaffetz: Is AGAINST the bill.

Everyone else was polite, interested, and took my information. We are having an impact, folks.

Gowdy needs more information. When I stated that studies had been done that contradicted the Constrictor Report, the aide wanted information on those studies. I did not have that available, but mentioned that there had been a study done in which the animals were kept in an outdoor pen over winter in SC, and died.

If anyone has direct references and information for those studies, please call Gowdy and give them the information--if you get an Aide who's not interested...try again, because someone there IS.
