They go to D.C. frequently to plead their case and know a lot of people. I will attempt to show them the links to your stories and see if they will take it up. although it is not the kind of thing they usually do.

I am not hopeful but it is all I can do. Most of the people I know are in public unions, but service and retail unions are merging with some of them. I don't want to get your hopes up but I'll contact them this next weekend.

Disappointed to see that Spitzer didn't do his part. This cabal you are up against are very well-connected. A good deal of what was done was so obviously illegal. I'll get back to you in a week.

A FEW IDEAS: Have you contacted Democracy Now with this story? They did some on Sheldon Adelson and might be willing to get something going. And there is always Michael Moore or Greg Palast.
