Got a letter back from my Congressman

[Lostit]

Unfortunately I live in Georgia, so I didn't expect a positive response. My representative is Johnny Linder from the Seventh District.

I actually got back a two page letter. The highpoints are as follows:

A.) "Should H.R. 2046 come to the House floor for a vote, I would be inclined to oppose it"
B.) "Internet Gambling is already against the law in the fifty states."
c.) "Offshore casinos are serious violators with the potential for money laundering and other criminal activities"
D.) "States continue to regulate gambling within their borders, but offshore internet gambling is stressing our financial, social, and law enforcement efforts. HR 2046 will... further increase the negative impact of internet gambling."
E.) "Some have pointed out that a child could easily get the family credit card, log on to the family computer, and lose thousands of dollars online, all before their parents get home from work."

Not that I expected any different from a bible belt republican, but he's my guy that I have to write to and I got him. Basically it looks like he's reading off of the FOF script.

I've already sent him a modified version of Engineer's letter (thanks again Engineer) pointing out the WTO impact, personal rights issues, and corrolated it to the impact that may be felt by some of the specific manufacturing (intellectual rights, patents, etc) companies located in his district. I also sent it on my company letter head, with my official title (Director of Finance) so that he would realize that its not some kid writing him, but instead a senior professional from one of the largest employers in his district.

My question to the group is this: What would you put in the reply? Of course I will take his arguement point by point, and attempt to debunk it. The only issue is that you know he's not reading this, but instead it'll be a staffer who will prepare the letter, and get his signature.

Other options include:
1.) Try to shift focus to Shelly Berkley's study bill, and see if he will support that.
2.) Try to shift focus to Wexler's bill, and only lobby on behalf of poker, instead of a broader bill like Barney Frank's.

I don't want to throw the kitchen sink at they guy, so which of the above "lines" would you take with him?
