Re: [GSAS-board] Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act, HR 669

Hi Paul,

I agree that HR 669 could be crippling to the aquarium hobby.  I already
e-mailed Dave Reichart and our Senators expressing my view.  I encourage
others to do the same.

Board:

I am receiving a lot of notes about HR 669 which I have not followed up.
The UW is cracking down on Lobbying from UW resources so I will post the
following as FYI:


"This affect everyone.

Ideally every member should be notified and hopefully anyone they know.

Do you think you can look into put something on the site about this?

Hearing is on on April 23. We need to act now. Sending email is easy, let
them know. Take the time, show your support, make your voice heard to
protect our hobby

  * Emailing or faxing your opposition to HR 669 to their offices in
    Washington DC urging them to amend the bill
  * ALSO contact their district offices

      * Voice your opposition
      * Request a meeting with the representative when they are back
        in the District

*To get more information about the bill and contacts  go to one of the
following web sites.*

A group has also been formed on Facebook at the following -->
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=86144566696.

Signup you are need.  Let your friends, family know and anyone who keeps
birds, reptiles, fishes and a number of mammals (e.g., hamsters, gerbils,
guinea pigs, ferrets). Everyone is talking about the latter but it will also
include all plants, insects  and other living creatures.

Thanks
      Luke
