Email From USARK About April 23 Hearing

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i am alittle confussed one thread on here says it still might go through they havent voted yet and this thread says it wont go through which is it
 
While I appreciate their enthusiasm for the result, I hope they are not resting on their laurels. While Rep. Bordallo did acknowledge that the bill needs to be amended to protect native species AND be more sensitive to the pet industry, I think this may have been said to appease the witnesses at the hearing who represented the opposition. Even if she truly meant it, the bill still lives and is now open for amendments. This may mean it will be rewritten in it's entirety, but it also still leaves open the possibility of your favorite fish being determined as "potentially invasive" and subject to a ban. The next step is to stay informed, keep close tabs on any developments and continue to oppose the bill as written and any language in the amended version that is unjustly detrimental to our hobby. Remember, the entire Channa genus was banned even though few of the species were possibly invasive in most of the states.
 
I just saw the email in my inbox....


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I really hope Madeleine Bordallo understands the fact that even with the best intentions, ANY legislation drafted needs to be drafted with thorough understanding of the far reaching effects of legislature.

You just don't crush large swaths of the American economy, especially in times like these.


I'm ready for the next fight.
 
OKAY GUYS AND GALS GOOD WORK THAT IS ROUND 1. We gotta keep on fighting till we win buy knockout or TKO let's do this for our future and our kids future in the hobby.
