One thing they did that was great is they had a template/form letter you could copy,paste, and email to the house and senate members. It was very effective and got many people to respond that normally would not have because it made it much easier for them to do so. They had email addresses of all politicians on the site as well. Worked great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-81367372414239920312011-11-28T19:05:44.087-05:002011-11-28T19:05:44.087-05:00"tony"...

I doubt you'll find many takers here. <br /><br />BTW, as the posting process says, the forum's moderated. So next time, just post once, not four times with the same thing. Use the time you saved to edit your post. Not to mention posting your comment to the right article: the Washington privatization post is downstream from here.

He responded (via snail mail, no less) "My beer sales bill is in the Senate Law and Justice Committee. It has not moved, but if Representative Turzai's liquor sales bill passes, I would amend my legislation into same. All polls show that the public wants an easier, customer friendly way to select and purchase beer. Thank <br />you." <br /><br />I really do appreciate Senator Rafferty's response. I have yet to receive a single response from any other state legislator to whom I've written on this matter.Doug McDonoughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-26270794242498133762011-11-17T04:27:08.023-05:002011-11-17T04:27:08.023-05:00I assume beer wholesalers are doing well in PA, af...I assume beer wholesalers are doing well in PA, after reading this crap:<br />"Pa. Beer Alliance works toward ease and consumer safety"<br />http://www.pennlive.com/editorials/index.ssf/2011/11/pa_beer_alliance_works_toward.html<br /><br />Remember several years ago when sales were down, and the "Alliance" (then known as the Pennsylvania Beer Wholesalers Association, but is really more like the Empire) was involved with Modernize Our Beer Laws? Their president was saying things about PA beer regulations being anti-consumer: "We have a law that says when you go to a beer distributor you have to buy 18 pounds of beer".<br /><br />So, I conclude sales must be pretty good, as this current position of the Alliance keeps us in the 1930s.

It is fairly cost prohibitive to try new beers as well because the "taverns" hold a monopoly on single sales and drive the prices way up, plus I'm not buying a case of something just to try it then not like it. In MD there are stores where you can walk in, open a case and pull a single out and buy it. It's rediculous and it needs to go.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900534233446433658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-89984471361443557802011-11-06T15:22:45.045-05:002011-11-06T15:22:45.045-05:00Yes that is true, they are waiting to see what hap...Yes that is true, they are waiting to see what happens with the state stores.
