To amend the bill for Burms ONLY.
This is the response I just got with his rep on the phone.

Unclear, but at least one of the other FL congressperson's office staff was aware that he was doing that.

I got the same answer...but I asked if they were sticking to importation or not and I was told NO they were seeking a ban on the species! I let them know that Florida has a permitting system in place and that there was no evidence to even show they could survive out of the state....hope they stick to importing only!

I too got the same response from his office... A good friend that is very into birds, (parrots) sent a panicked E mail to me mid day, making sure that I was aware of the bill.... She said to let everyone know that it is hitting the bird and pet store lists, and that this effects everyone. They were blowing up the phones on the bird end too! :rebel:

Does anyone have a time frame for any results today?
