Free Ivory Fridays

[Mark Knapp]

Win this ivory.

The question for this weeks Free Ivory Friday is; There is a bill introduced into congress that reverses the Presidents executive action that bans the trade in legal elephant ivory. What is the name of that bill?

You can enter in two ways, answer this question or let me know what results you got when you contacted your legislators to tell them how you feel about ivory bans. You can have your name in twice if you do both.

OK, you guys are good. That bill was reintroduced and renamed this year, that's the name I'm looking for. Remember, everyone can enter twice if they let me know what results you got when you contacted their' legislators in support of these bills.

It is OK for people overseas to enter, I only ask that you pay for the shipping if you win.
