Who ever sends an email needs to keep a copy. That way, when we call him on his lie, we can present him with the copies

All Ohio people who wish to help, please PM me. If you know the State Rep who introduced this bill, please email and call him again ASAP and voice your opinion against House Bill 45. We had a meeting with him today and he stated that he has received NO opposition to this bill. LIAR!! I, as well as many others, had written to him. So, we need to flood him with opposition emails and phone calls now. If you do not know who the state rep is, please PM me and I will give you his name, email address and phone number. Note: His information; email address and phone number is public record. This is how you voice your opinion about these laws. I am not giving out his "personal" email or phone number, but only his public contact information.
Also, I will let you know when the first hearing will be, it is in April. If you wish to attend, this will be of great help. The hearings are on a Wednesday in the AM. You do not need to speak or anything, unless you want to, we just need to pack the state house with as many people opposing this bill as possible.
Well when you talk to him again, ask him if he has ever heard of a "gris gris", Neet can talk to him and let him know what this is, that might get his attention, cause I am fixin to put one on him. You just let me know when.

I think this is the perfect time for the "gris-gris", since he lied to our face yesterday. Yes, this IS the time

Washington state has had this in the past and they have been pretty good at stopping theirs as well. I pray that they are again, successful
The state of West Virginia had one too, but it just died

I don't need to know his name. I'll know when something bad happens to some politician in Ohio that the gris gris got him.

Good job Bruce.


I wish I lived in Ohio for now. But John, do know that I spoke to the gentleman we discussed here in NC, and he assured me he would speak with the rep from Ohio if necessary. Is it time for that, you think?

Yes, I think this would be a good time. The hearings will be starting in mid April, so now we need to make sure we keep making our voices heard. I have to admit, as it gets closer, I am getting nervous. I am confident we will stop this, but I am still worried.

I hope nothing real bad happens to him now, otherwise I might be put in jail or something.
I just want something a little bad to happen to him, just enough to get his attention.

I got a response letter from representative Tom Brinkman, Jr. He is very opposed to the ban. Here is an excerpt from his letter:

"I ran a platform on Limited Government and Lower Taxes and will not change. If law abiding citizens wish to own exotic animals, then so be it. It is not my wish, nor should it be the government's responsibility, to regulate every activity known to mankind."

Good job!

I hope and pray this type of thinking spreads among all the state representatives. I don't live in this representative's district, but I wrote to and thanked him for not supporting this bill
