Many of us have sent letters and made phone calls. I have a feeling though some may still be sitting on the sidelines.
It's time we all step it up in these final days and hours and start/continue pounding the phone lines of all the representitives sitting on the committee.

August is right, there is still time to make a difference !
If HR669 Bill passes, it will end reptile, and most other pet keeping as you know it. No more reptile shows. No more purchasing from reptile dealers. No more interesting animals in pet stores.
Please take the time to tell your representatives to vote against this bill, and how it will hurt you if it is passed.
Best Regards
John Z

Since monday I've had friends and co-workers pounding the phones. Most of my friends don't even own pets of anykind, but after reading hr669 they full well understand the ramifications.
I have long come to the realization that the current president and congress have sucked enough people in with the notion of change and hope that that the president and congress have convinced the general public that you can pick up a turd on the clean end.

It's really easy to go the site www.nohr669.com and send and email from there. They already have it all set up - you just enter your zip code and info and they'll automatically send a form email letter to your representative (which you can also edit and add your own personal remarks). Do it... now! If this thing passes the only way anyone will be able to work with most reptiles is either do it illegally or get a zoo job. This would be a huge tragedy for all reptiles, both in the wild or in captivity, since most people who really care about reptiles and their conservation probably learned by having the opportunity to keep them as pets. Not to mention that in most places far from zoos or serpentariums, the only chance school kids get to see and learn about reptiles first-hand is through the educational efforts of private keepers.
