I have been following this forum daily (actually several times a day) for months now. Yet I am disappointed at the reception of what to me appears positive action and actual initiative. I thought the link he pasted explained quite adequately what was delivered and who too. The request for the poker community to "follow up" their hand delivery with phone calls was not unreasonable and is very sensible. It isn't like they said "please send your entire wallet or signed blank checks to ABC for promoting online gaming".
His request should have been incorporated into TE's weekly action plan. Just like many of us did follow up calls and letters to NFL and their sponsers when the issue was hot. When you couple this physical approach to the congressman with the timely articles about WTO last week, then yes, it is a good time for follow up calls and extra effort to remind them we are watching and we do care.
If I want to build a fence to enclose my pool and my neighbor approaches me about sharing the costs of a fence to enclose his dog. Should I refuse his offer because we don'thave the same reason??

His initial request WAS part of my action thread, for some time. Not only that....I x-posted it to all the threads on 2p2. The requested follow-on action will also be part of the next update.
If you all don't recall, this is that e-petition we all signed in response to a FoF action warning about this very delivery. CGW promised to hand-deliver the packets to each member of Congress both here and at
www.casinogamingweb.com , so I imagine he didn't think he had to describe it all over again.
Eddietom, I'd like you thank you and CGW for delivering these packets. The timing is perfect, as we'll be going to Washington ourselves in a few weeks.
