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.

Roy, I thought it was worthwhile.

Do you want facts, even if they need to be painfully drawn out, or do you want "Gee-whiz, everyone says its great" ? Compare the OPs later posts to his initial pieces of puffery and petulance. He is 100% better at telling people WHY they should answer his call to action when he explains it.

Look, I hope he succeeds, but the initial puffery and subsequent petulance needed perhaps a firmer response than your opinion allows for. It seems to have worked in drawing out what NOW looks like a substantive effort by someone, whoever they are.

In my opinion, you should thank me for taking the time to get the ball rolling for this thread.

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'.

"Milton, not quite sure what the hell you are talking about. Here are some facts... "

Eddy, that is precisely what I am talking about .... giving some substance to your posts. Look at your original post in this thread, compare it to the facts you provide now, after your original post is mocked. Your factual post is 100% better, it describes something of substance, without the garbage about how "all" said the package was "strong".

I have no axe to grind and certainly wish your effort every success. However, as a rhetorical device, your original post was terrible, you are much more effective when you take the time to provide substance.

Don't you think an explanation of what was in this "package" would have been a good opener ?

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.
