And how much could a web site cost? And maybe it could be paid for by having a few advertisements?

Well unless traffic was insane, the server I host my personal websites on is more than enough and it's on a pretty big net connection (it's a friends machine that is in a colo).

I would be fine with hosting it there. I can easily setup a web portal (like Mambo as I already mentioned) and a forum for us. If you folks would rather pay for something right off the bat; there are many reasonably priced web hosting services out there that offer exactly what I'm offering.

We could also incorporate some ads if everyone involved agreed upon it. I'll be glad to set the backend up, but when it comes to design I can do it, but I'm sure others could do better.

Ads are fine, just not gaming ads. We don't want to give them a chance to put the FBI or some other goon org on us.

How much better off would the world be without people that think like this? It's truly sickening. Mind your own damn business

Good point. I'll work on getting Mambo and a forum setup this week.

Thanks.

They did reply. They told me they would not engage in an ongoing debate and we'd have to agree to disagree. I did send copies to my senators and my congressman.

Senator Mitch McConnell
United States Senate
361-A Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator McConnell:

As a constituent and voter, I am writing again to ask you to support and co-sponsor HR 2046 – the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007 in the Senate.

Some in our party wish to increase the size and scope of the federal government over the private lives of Americans. For example, Focus on the Family has an ongoing campaign to create a second prohibition – this one on Internet poker and other games (i.e., Prohibition 2.0). UIGEA started this process, but Focus wants even more. They advocate government censorship of the Internet, government spying on Americans’ Internet usage, and government spying on Americans’ banking transactions. Millions of Americans, including me, vehemently oppose Prohibition 2.0 and the anti-freedom, draconian big government required to enforce it. It is dangerous for America and potentially disastrous for the Republican Party.

I attached my communications with Focus on the Family for your review.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[name and address]

I do admire your energy and dedication to this cause. I know it take a LOT of time and effort to keep this up at the pace you have shown.

I second that Engineer. You're doing a fantastic job on here with everything, and your drive & persistence is incredible. There are a lot of us out here who are sending letters (and usually stealing yours, but you did say it was ok), and calling, because you've given us good information on how to do so.

Keep up the great work, we appreciate you (and the others like OBG)

Do you ppl actually expect anything different from FoF.

If this was a sane country congress would look at the fact that this guy thinks harry potter is destroying the world and just lol in his face.
