I wish I could be there... and with my flair for words, we might even get press coverage. 

And that was totally tongue in cheek...  I hope all get that.  But I would like to be there to hear it, and comment as allowed.

I guess they are the best to represent the interests of the IMB international agencies.
They will be able to provide evidence that 99% of their customers never directly contacts a female customer, making the legislation a large burden for the agencies.  :evil:

This from the peanut gallery and probably preaching to the choir for many at RWD, certainly not meant to spark a political debate but, I would appreciate our government much more if they didn't see a need to regulate everything that has a dollar flowing through it. Government has no business in the internet dating or marriage industries. IMBRA is nothing more than a stumbling block for innocent AM looking to date overseas. The guilty AM run through it like Mexicans over the Arizona border. As anything else in life, matching on the internet is buyer beware and should be left to individual's decision making process.

I know there are many horror stories where Western men have taken advantage of the system(s) available for slaves, ect. ending in murder and worse but IMO, regulation does not even slow these crimes down.

Not my intention to side track your thread Dan as I think it is relevant. No way could AW, the various American net dating sites and certainly not the esteemed Maryland Senator could possibly have represented my interests when I was in pursuit. Quite simply put, it's  a crock

Would be nice if the man from JimList would attend this conference.  I sent a message to him.  Doubt he even knew it was going on.

Anything that helps to stop Western guys getting ripped off is a good thing. But I'm not sure that any regulations that the yanks do will have any effect here in Ukraine.
Christ, just look at the videos of the politicians fighting on YouTube and you'll see what I mean !
Better to get the all silly old buggers more educated into not believing all the Dating Agency crap !

There is absolutely nothing that group of morons could achieve that could stop Western guys from getting ripped off. More so that topic won't be addressed much less discussed or acted upon. If they have anything on the agenda concerning Western men/Eastern women it will be calling for more interference, more legislation, widening the IMBRA net and stopping as many East/West relationships as possible. IMO

All I Hope is they remember we live in a free country. Oh, and we have that pesky peice of paper called the "constitution" and the "bill of rights".

As long as they keep that in the back of their jug heads I dont care what they do.
