As some of you may know, the anti-constrictor bill, currently known as HR 511, goes in front of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs *tomorrow*. This bill will set the precedent for how not only other snakes, but also other exotic pets, are treated, so it is crucial we defeat it. However, almost no snake owners seem to be calling the committee members to oppose it. Just this morning I called four of the congressmen on the subcommittee that will decide HR 511 tomorrow. Of them, only the chairman (Fleming) seems to be getting any volume. Of the other three, Young (Alaska) has gotten only a few calls, which were were both for and against; Markey (Mass) has received *no* other calls; and Harris (Maryland) I forgot to ask. If we are going to kill this, we need people to call other members beyond the chair. Even if a rep is not from your state, call in -- the more voices, the better! The subcommittee membership is listed here: [url]http://naturalresources.house.gov/subcommittees/subcommittee/?SubcommitteeID=5063[/url]. Please call, at a minimum, three reps -- your state's rep, the chair, and then fill in any one or two more to top it off. Let's make a difference, rainbow keepers! Please post below after you call, who, and the results! Thank you, [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
