Default Re: PPA has released its UIGEA regulations comment talking points

Forget about calling up our congressmen and what not.

I appreicate your sharing your idea about ESPN, but why would we "forget" everything else? We have lobbyists in D.C. who NEED our support (i.e., this is not some random letter writing campaign). I can see ADDING ESPN to our efforts, but why would we drop everything else? Even if ESPN were willing to carry our water, we'd still have to do our writing to support that effort.

Also, we can try ESPN, but it's unlikely they'll be with us, IMO. The NFL is STRONGLY against us, and it's hard to see ESPN lobbying strongly against the interests of the NFL. Sure, we should all call and write to ESPN, but let's not pin our hopes on them.

I hope you'll call ESPN, your congressman, your senators, and write a comment or two regarding the UIGEA regs. Thanks!
