Here's the reply I got. No mention of people and businesses effected. Can't say I am shocked:

"Thank you for contacting me in support of the Lacey Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

As you know, the Lacey Act has protected wildlife and fish from being illegally taken, transported, or sold since signed into law in 1900. Under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, the bipartisan Act was amended to expand its protection to a wide range of plants, including illegally logged woods. This law is a critical tool in halting deforestation and protecting American jobs.

I will continue to support the preservation of natural resources and aim to strengthen regulations that prevent damage to injurious wildlife while maintaining critical investments in programs that protect our public health and create jobs. I strongly believe that we can responsibly confront reducing the deficit and have a balanced budget while maintaining critical investments in programs that protect our environment.

Please rest assured that I will oppose any continued efforts to gut environmental protection programs or limit environmental authority. I appreciate your voice on this matter and will keep your thoughts in mind as the 113th Congress progresses.

Thank you again for writing. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of any further assistance. If you would like to learn more about my position on other issues important to the 37th district, please visit my website at bass.house.gov or sign up for my e-newsletter.

Sincerely,

U.S. Rep. Karen Bass"
