Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Andrew Wyatt, President of USARK, will be giving an emergency update tonight on Reptile Radio, 12am EST. If you can't tune in live, they always have it up to listen to later as well. For those who are unsure what to do next, this might give you some direction. We need to fight harder now than we ever have before, and fight together.
From Larry, one of the hosts of the show:

The vote means nothing. It's a waste of time. You'd be better off emailing your congressmen.

That poll DOES mean something...It means that out of almost 500 people, only 9 are opposed. Often times common sense is thrown out the window (as the writing of this farce bill shows). What your representatives will want is STATS. I agree, that link on its own, holds no weight...but the stats within it are essential. Forward that link's results to your representative...it will be a lot more effective then just an email that states "i like snakes." (obviously I over simplified it, but you get the drift)
Unfortunately, the truth is that some people wont go through the trouble of writing their representative. So if all that they do is click that button, then the ones who DO care enough to write their representatives, will do so with some extra ammunition.
So please, continue clicking that button, and PLEASE utilize all the excellent resources that Mr Foose and others have provided.
