Doninique, love your quote.

You know they tried that crap here in australia lol but it didnt work we went elsewhere with our money, preventing us from gambling within Australian online casinos like lasseters was the biggest money making mistake they made, we took our business off shore and now the offshore casinos are collecting the revenue, if the Australian government was smart they would have let us continue with our own casinos, imagine the revenue they could pull in but then lets face it no one has ever accused a politician of being smart.

I am so sick of the do gooders who the hell are they to say how we can and cant spend our money that WE earn. Enough is enough we are supposed to be free democratic countries but instead we have commies running the place, be damned if they will stop me from doing what i enjoy.

The link to the place to register your complaint is http://www.profreedom.com/

This site is set up by PROFESSIONALS!

They handle the gathered complaints properly so each DOES get counted. This service is funded by a whole bunch of casinos of all descriptions and you can trust it to handle your complaint efficiently and so that it will make the greatest impact.

Of course, calling on the phone is always a great idea, and can be quite interesting.

They try to pass one law or another against online gaming every year. So far we have been able to deflect all of them, with www.profreedom.com playing a large role in it.

Please do spend the couple minutes it takes to register.

Whether its setup by 'PROFESSIONALS' or chimps doesn't change the fact that form letters are largely ignored by your senators and representatives by their own admission! They recognize them as form letters and chuck them in the trash. I've heard them admit this more than once.

If you want to do a one of these 'professional' form letters, then by all means have a blast, but if you want your voice heard, CALL THEM. That advice comes directly the people you are trying to influence.

I am ill equipped to argue the point, and I am also definitely in favor of calling. Even just tying up the phone lines is useful. A personal well presented call is wonderful, no argument there.

Unfortunately I am not privy to exactly how profreedom is handling this, but it is not a usual bulk submission of letters. These guys are lobbyists, professional lobbyists. They know more about how to do this than the lot of us put together.

I agree what right has the government to infringe upon our personal freedom.
It is basically none of their business. If they are afraid that all that money is going overseas, they should legalize and regulate online casinos in their own country. Otherwise they should stay the hell out of our private lives.

I tend to agree. Do any of you guys like the copy and paste impersonal email replies that you got from casinos when you tried to ask them something? More often than not, these emails don't even give answers to what we were asking. If you don't like them, how can you expect your senators to like generic letters. So I agree absolutely that the most effective ways to make a point on a person to person basis is to call them directly.

A good friend of mine that I've known since about 3rd or 4th grade is my rep now, so I've got a little inside knowledge as to how they do business there. Calling definitely makes more of an impression on them, as do handwritten letters, but those are alot less likely to happen these days and calling is a whole lot easier (and satisfying I think).
