Attention! H.R. 669: Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

[MTiffany]

Hi there: I realize that discussing politics is a no-no here on AC, so I'm not going to discuss politics. What I will do, however, is bring to everyone's attention that there is a bill in the US House of Representative, H.R. 669 "The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act."

Here is the URL to the full text of the bill.

I've read the bill and I know how I feel about it. I'm only asking that you read the bill too, and if you are so inclined, contact your Representative and let him or her know your view - whatever that may be.

"In a democracy, decisions are made by those who show up."

Thanks.

There was a big kaffufle about HR669 some months ago, actually.

Thing is, the Bill isn't technically dead. And it could gain new relevance and momentum: Popular type of gecko laden with salmonella (http://www.oregonlive.com/pets/index.ssf/2009/08/popular_type_of_gecko_laden_wi.html).
