This page is dedicated to making it easy for you to write to your Senators in order to KILL-S373. This page can be reached and used by anyone that uses the link www.Kill-S373.com. Spread this link far and wide. These simple steps can have a huge impact if followed by a large number of the Reptile Nation. Ask your friends and family to participate. Please click the USARK Donate button above and donate $10 to help pay for the Kill-S373 Letter Campaign.

Write two hand written letters. One addressed to each of the Senators from your State regarding the negative effect S373 would have on you, your family and your business. Alternatively you can copy the sample letter below. Make sure you end up with two letters individually addressed and signed by yourself ready to go to your Senators.
Double check and make sure your letters are properly addressed. One to each of your two Senators. Make sure you sign your name. Include your mailing address and EMAIL address. (see list of Senators by state below. each state has two.)
Place both letters in a large flat mailer. Do not fold them and place them in small envelopes. All letters need to be flat. If you are helping others and have numerous letters make sure they are separated by Senator. All letters for Senator #1 in one package and Senator #2 in another package.
Send to our USARK representative for hand delivery to the Senate.

Senator (name of your senator w/ address)

Please oppose S373 aka 'The Python Ban'. Although I share concern for the environment of the Everglades this bill is over reaching and will have far more effect on the trade in high quality captive bred reptiles than addressing the issues in south Florida. It will hurt me, my family and my business. With no credible evidence to support such draconian measures it will destroy jobs in our state.

The USGS report being used as justification for listing 9 snakes on the Injurious Wildlife list of the Lacey Act has been discredited by a panel of 11 independent scientists. In a letter to the Senate EPW Committee this report has been characterized as "unscientific". Further the scientists state "this document is not suitable as the basis for legislative or regulatory policies".

The trade in reptiles here in the United States represents approximately 3 billion dollars annually and exports of high quality captive bred reptiles account for 82% of the trade worldwide. Thousands are employed directly or indirectly by the reptile industry. The trade in the 9 snakes addressed in S373 is approximately 1/3 of the total annual trade. In a recent letter to the Senate EPW Committee the US Chamber of Commerce states "if enacted in its current form, this legislation would adversely impact tens of thousands of businesses". Our state alone stands to lose scores of jobs.

S373 if passed will circumvent the scientific process for the sake of political expediency. Thousands of hardworking American families will be bankrupted. Jobs will be lost in our state. Please say NO on S373. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

(your name
address and
EMAIL address)
