I have been avidly reading posts and have been encouraged by the efforts of the Engineer and others.
Here's are simple half hour Plan for any lazy people like me: 1. Read the latest in the "Fight for Online Gaming - Weekly Action Thread." 10 minutes 2. Cut and paste all The Engineer's letters and personalize it a little. 10 minutes 3. Find addresses to senator, congressman, Paulson, Gonzalez, etc. by using links in Engineer's threads. 10 minutes 4. Send letters. 10 seconds I just did all this and felt like Benjamin Franklin. Now that i'm involved, I'm going to call all these people (another 1/2 hour)and advocate for the repeal of UIGEA, sticking to the minimum mandates when writing regulations, supporting HR 2610 (Wexler), HR 2046(Frank) and HR 2140 Berkley). Thanks 2+2 and Engineer - I hope you can energize thousands more like me. It feels great to fight back. |

I sent another round of emails to my representatives this morning. Hopefully others will do the same.

Thanks for the compliments and for your participation. I'm glad you reassured everyone that it really isn't that hard.
To make things even easier, for the phone calls I like to jot down an outline of what I plan to discuss. Just three or four bulleted items. As it's a one-way conversation, it helps me stay on target and to get my points in. For example, I jotted this down before calling today: [ QUOTE ] WTO -- Antigua -- Intellectual property -- Why does it even exist? (i.e., US should own this industry) EU -- Aerospace, Microsoft, agriculture IHRA (the "special" horses that are safe for interstate Internet gambling on, somehow) -- Important to state -- Why is it okay when other gambling is “wrong” -- Main violator of WTO case, at risk IGREA -- Shown in House hearing to be feasible to regulate -- Opponents shown to simply not like gambling -- U.S. should be net recipient of Internet gambling cash….why are we offshoring our cash? Limited government???? [/ QUOTE ] Nothing fancy...just enough to make all my points in a short period of time in a coherent, organized fashion without sounding like I'm reading from a script. |
