Most likely things online are gonna take a while to get resolved... but if people think something can be done in a hurry, the best option would be to get a march on washington ASAP, like yesterday... how do you get 100s of thousands of 18-25yr olds to do that? FTP/Stars should get together to host the real LIVE attendance record-breaker type event like they did online, say 100bucks entry w 10mil gauranteed pool at say Atlantic City, it could even be a super-turbo, bc logistics of getting more people to shuttle to washington DC depends on the tournament playing quickly. FTP/stars should help organize the march.... Heck maybe even offer online .NET satellites to enter the tourny/or satellites to get campground lodging/ hotel/ airfare for free?

Sounds like a lot of work for a bunch of guys used to working in their underwear sitting behind a computer.

I get what you are saying, but considering the cost, and a lot of these guys having a large portion of their net worth locked up in limbo, doubt it would ever work......like ever.

Pretty sure the last thing you do when you are being prosecuted for wire fraud by the DOJ is to orchestrate a massive protest in Washington.

Dont think their parents will pay for a trip to washington, unless its guaranteed one way.
