The Direct shipment issue

[amshih]

I wrote all my representatives and enclosed a wine cork with each letter (suggested by Free The Grapes -- I just thought it was really cute!).

One other thing you can do is inform other wine lovers about this issue and encourage them to speak up. I did a talk at my local wine tasting last month on direct shipping, and I was amazed at how many people were unaware that all of this stuff was going on in Congress (and that there are currently two consumer lawsuits on this issue as well, in Indiana and in Texas!). I even gave them prewritten letters to send to their reps.

Free the wine!
