I am posting this here too:
I received this today from my congressman:
Dear Mrs. Beller:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act. It is always pleasure to hear from fellow Oklahomans.
The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act would require the Secretary of the ******** to establish a process for assessing the risk of all nonnative wildlife species proposed for importation into the United States. This legislation was introduced in response to the many exotic animals that are brought into the United States each year. Some say the introduction of these animals into the United States has a negative impact on the environment, economy, and human health. I believe it is important to maintain and protect our environment while at the same time protecting those who make a fair living from the import of exotic animals. For this reason and as a member of the House Committee on Resources, you can rest assured I will closely monitor this legislation.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your views on this legislation. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully Yours,
Dan Boren
Member of Congress
OK, so where does he stand. This raises his carbon footprint, but says nothing.
Outlaw BS, more impact on the environment and my wallet than a lionfish.
