Reptile enthusiasts this is your time to stand up and let your elected leaders know you position on proposed laws. This is for all of you who love reptiles from the keeper to the breeder, your elected representative needs to see YOU. There have been call ins, fax & email campaigns, but just like a job interview the lasting impression is a face to face interview. You need to walk into your Senator's & Congressman's office and talk with him/her or their aids. I do not mean the person sitting at the phone. You need to get into the office, sit down and talk to the person who reports to the Senator or Congressman. Be prepared with the facts. This is an easy thing to do. It will take an hour of your day for some and a few more for others. I realize some of you do not live close to where your representatives offices are located, but I urge you to take the time and go. It is actually a very rewarding experience. Being a part of the process is a great feeling. Acting in the process instead of standing on the sidelines and being acted upon is where all Americans should be.
We have organizations like PIJAC and USARK working in our behalf. But they cannot do it alone. It takes a grassroots effort. This site is just that a tool for us all to use to get a visual of how we are doing. It may seem a little thrown together and it was, but time is of the essence here. So here is what you need to do.
Put this web address - http://www.saveoursnakes.org - Save Our Snakes - click here - in all your emails, on your website, facebook, twitter & Myspace. Everywhere you can think of plaster it over the internet. Then find your Senator and Congressman listed here and go to their office. You do not need an appointment. There are people there during business hours. Be presentable and courteous and ask for a few minutes of their time. On this site you will find what you can say about these proposed bills. Take a picture of yourself in the office next to the flags if you can or grab a business card to show you were there. Send it to us in an email and we will show that your reps were visited in person.
