Casino Gambling Web Delivers 435 Packets to Congress

[eddytom]

Casino Gambling Web delivered 435 informational packets to all representatives in the United States last week. Each representative was delivered a unique copy of the packet that featured all the comments from their state that voters left on the petition that CGW sponsored. CGW reps talked with many aids, lawyers, and company presidents who all told them the packet they delivered was strong and could cause legislation to come this year if it was coupled with phone support for the packets, which CGW titled 'The IGREA Initiative'.

It is suggested that all supporters call their congress person starting this week and say they support 'The IGREA Initiative' that was delivered as a packet last week. Ask to speak to the congress person, if he/she is not available, ask to speak to an aid, if they don't answer leave a message expressing your support.

Press Release on CGW Trip to DC

"CGW reps talked with many aids, lawyers, and company presidents who all told them the packet they delivered was strong":

CGW representative, dressed appropriately like a UPS man,:

"Can you sign for this package here ?"

Aid to Congressman:

"Sure Ooops I just dropped the package out the window."

CGW representative, "Don't worry, I ran one over with my bicycle today, it was just fine."

Congressional aid: "Sure sounds like a strong package"

Thanks for the support everyone.

Crybaby. You show up with a gee-whizz, poorly-written PR flack piece full of ridiculous characterizations.

What did you expect ?

Just give out the facts and skip the third-grade spin and you will get heard and listened to, perhaps.

Milton, your reply was completely uncalled for imo.

Milton, not quite sure what the hell you are talking about. Here are some facts... 435 packets of paper, attached to a CD were hand signed and hand delivered to every representative in congress (on your behalf). The packets were specific to each state and included the comments from the petition from each representative's state. There was a list of 10 reasons why Internet gambling should be legalized and regulated. There was a CD that included all the testimony from the Financial Services Hearing, plus studies from Harvard and other places. People in Washington, who are very prominent people, including your PPA president, said the packet was strong, but it needed follow up phone calls for it to have a true value. Not quite sure where the spin is, and I am not quite sure whey everyone in the poker community is not jumping on this opportunity to call their representative to support this 'Initiative'.

Eddytom, it would help if we knew who you were to help respond. Do you work for CGW? Not knowing who this post is coming from I have no idea how to respond.

Any effort to keep poker legal is great and all, but I had no idea how to respond to your post.

I don't 'work' for cgw, but I am a close friend to a couple of the guys who write for them and when something happens with them, they ask me to help spread the word.

However, I am not sure how my relation to them is relevent. The fact is that they went way out of their way to go to D.C., and they spent months developing these 'informational packages' and hand delivered them at their own costs on behalf of the entire gambling community and they are now looking for help to make them more significant. I am not sure why this forum is so ungrateful for their help.
