Public Outcry Campaign

Casino Gambling Web is trying to get people to help them reverse the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Acct. They want people to go to their web site and get their representatives’ phone numbers and start calling them to tell them that it needs to be overturned.

They have set up a page on their web site that people can go to, to get their information for calling. The page is www.casinogamblingweb.com/us-representative-contact-information.jsp for a list of all the reps and their phone numbers, and mailing addresses in Washington, D.C. They are calling it their Public Outcry Campaign, and they want to make sure that people start getting the word out that they want it overturned.

They want people to call and speak for about two minutes every day, and they want you to call your state reps a least one time each – but daily is better. They have released a statement that they would like people to follow it goes as follows:

"Hello, my name is _______ ________, I live in (the state where you live) and I would like to tell (the representative you are calling) about my displeasure with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which is a bill that was passed last year as an attachment to the Safe Port Act. I would like (the representative you are calling) to know that I support Barney Frank and his future bill that is meant to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act."

Also, they have a list of talking points on their site that they would like people to follow up on – they want you to mention them to the representative that you are speaking with. They say that you don’t have to mention all of them, but if you can at least mention one of them that would be best for the cause. They say you can call every day and mention a different talking point each day if you want, just so long as you are able to get your point across.

They believe that the more people they can get calling, and if they can get them calling daily, the more our representatives will know how they have gone against the American public’s wishes to have online gambling made illegal. They say that the government is acting on their own free will, and did not take their constituents into consideration when passing the bill.
