We need to respond to the proposed regs but we also need to write every one of our US elected officials, US representatives and senators, to make them understand why this isn't smart. Politics can come into play. This was issued by the beaurcrats - they can be influenced by politicians who do not like their voters upset.
I agree 100% this can be killed with the right amount of political pressure. There are several politicians that have a say so in what gets written into law, and the most effective way to voice your opinion is to copy your letters to ALL of the higher level politicians for your area. You can address them by mail by phone or via the web.

I will be voicing my concern to the folks at F/W but also sending the concerns to othe governer of my state, my cogressman and my senator. Lets not be mad about this, lets roll up our sleeves and fight it using our unified voice.
