Greetings Players,

As you may be aware, online gaming has been under attack by the United States for the last decade. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has successfully challenged the malicious prosecution of Antiguan operators in the World Trade Organization. The WTO has found that the US's application of its laws against Antiguan entities is protectionist and in violation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services.

Now that Antigua has won the legal battle, it can use political support in Congress. Here's how you can help. Please email and phone your Representative in the House of Representatives and your two Senators. Remind them that the United States needs to abide by the decision in the Antigua-Gaming matter if they expect other countries to comply with WTO decisions in favor of the United States.

Here is a link to a letter to the USTR from Representative Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs:

http://cl.exct.net/?ffcb10-fe2f15737...7365007a771175

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen eloquently noted, "...our failure to resolve this dispute may harm our credibility as we seek to press countries like China regarding their violations on a range of issues, including intellectual property protection, subsidies, and currency manipulation." She further warned, "In the event the United States fails to reach a satisfactory resolution of the Antigua dispute, it could provide China with an argument to ignore a WTO decision favorable to the United States."

Please send the link above to your Representative and Senators. Ask them to send similar letters to the United States Trade Representative. Let them know you vote, you pay taxes, and you think the United States should comply with the decision in the Antigua-Gaming matter.

To contact your Representative and two Senators, follow the links below or call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and give them your zip code. Make sure you call three times.

We will continue to fight the legal battle, please help us with the political fight.

[hammink]

From "Cappers Mall Sports Handicapping," "webmaster@cappersmall.com" - that post actually came off as being more annoyed than I am. I don't care, just wanted to let you know it was sending multiple emails.

[Trossi3389]

Weird.. That usually only happens when your subscribed to the thread.. Which you werent.

Anyways.. Go to the bottom of the email -Copy the unsubscribe url and paste it in the google bar.. That will stop the email alerts from that thread. You can also unsubscribe from all thread alerts in that email also.

Let us know how you make out.
