Yup it is. Figures. It was down for 5 hours yesterday. Trying to get that into my posts still.
I wish I would've known about these server issues ahead of time, because now it's too late to change petition sites. People are gonna be turned away, and we might just have to live with that for now.
The flipside is that if we draw enough volume of people (and I mean lots and lots of people) it should still give us many signatures. I have already sent out over 900 tweets to individual accounts. They all won't receive my tweet at the same time. Which is good! We just have to hope that when they do show up at the site, the server is working. Whoever can sign, will sign. Whoever can't, simply will not.
How does that sound?
While we are on the topic of affecting gambling, fantasy football anyone? Maybe a secondary petition to investigate on a national level? Hell, even ESPN would have to pick that up if it gained momentum. Add AP, the steelers RB, etc. Even if the suspensions seem just, last them on the premise it will help garner national support. Could even go specific with a class action suit for any paid fantasy player who had drafted AP. It's late and I've had a few, but it may be worth considering.
It's possible. As I've stated before this is a foot in the door type of petition. It can be broadened if and when the AG would take it under advisement. All it takes one person with the balls to take this all then way. If this picked up steam, and what I personally believe is found, the Feds will be tripping over themselves as to who gets it first.
I'm just thinking "momentum" may be much quicker to come by through something available nationally. Hence the national fantasy football reach. Hell, you'd hit a large mark with keeper leagues and Ray Rice, then AP. The unnecessary uncertainty of Brady, etc.
I'd wager such a petition would gather more rapid and wide spread support under the "gambling" umbrella. Then again, fantasy football isn't considered gambling given the national availability. This could couple with a petition for on line poker...something many want but is blacklisted. Either way, it suggests many wallet threatening opportunities for the govt to hit the nfl.
[USER=35364]What do you all make of that?
This petition needs a social media strategy. It's own twitter handle, a FB page, etc.
Warren might well be looking to burnish her creds with blue collar voters. Standing up for the Patriots against a corrupt, multi-billion dollar enterprise might just catch her fancy.

Hey guys. So it turns out I cannot send the same message several times from my twitter account. Technically, what I tried doing was considered "spamming" (even though it was non-commercial). So the 1,000+ users I tweeted over the last two days, have not even received word of our petition. Can you believe that? LOL Too bad they didn't notify me about this all along....would've saved me A LOT of time.
The good news is that, over the last couple of days, I have collected the twitter contacts of hundred of #FreeBrady advocates. Although they probably have not received my messages, maybe there's still a way we can contact them?
Not that government intervention ever solves any problem but, if it burns the NFL to the ground, I'm all for it.
