Anything come of this?

I know Mark Davis was uninformed and not concerned but just haven't seen an update on JDW.

I spoke with JD today about it. When ever he was told about it the facts were a bit off, JD is rather concerned with the legality of all of this and has to make sure he has all his ducks in a row before attacking this issue. I am sure that if JD and his staff were to look at it further and make sure that the state fair is out of line on this legally he will gladly go to bat. Someone just needs to take the time to get a lengthy email put together and send it to him VIA email then follow up with a phone call. I am sure it would help get the ball rolling if an attorney also contacted Mr. Wells and gave some advice on why he should cover this. I think we have a few attorneys on her so if one could lend a hand it would make things much smoother. My guess is that JD has received some flack in the past with the whole CHL issue and wants to make sure he has a leg to stand on before presenting it to his rather large listener base.

Interesting. A guy I know had called 570 and got the program director's cell number. He asked me to call. I called Thursday (10-8-09) and Mr. S.J. seemed very interested in the topic and asked me to call again on Friday around 1:00pm. Which I did. JDW wasn't in yet. Asked me to call back in 30 minutes. Which I did. His phone went to voice mail. I called several times. Each time I got voice mail. (I had to travel on Friday and was calling while on the road). Finally I called 214-787-1570, the request line, and got through to Mr. SJ. I was asked to call him on the following Monday (10-12-09). Truthfully, I forgot. So, I called 214-787-1570 this afternoon and got through to Mr. SJ. I was told their boss didn't think there was enough interest, and that he didn't think taking a CHL holders information was a big deal because they weren't being denied entrance to the Fair after thay gave up the info. The topic being discussed when I called in this afternoon? Bike helmets. The topic being discussed last friday was BHO winning a Nobel Peace Prize. For basically nothing. I heard BHO won a Heisman Trophy today, he watched a football game Sunday afternoon.
Anyway, During my first conversation with the Program Dir. I had him log onto the Txchlforum and read the thread for himself. I then emailed JDW's program director not only the statutes for reference, but the response I got from Officer Duncan Friday morning. So, saying they don't have access to the information, or I wasn't more than willing to speak with them, or whatever....
ah,...............................
and I'm sure JDW would be willing to jump on the band wagon after the band starts playing....but ....the song will be over by then. They are not interested. It's OK. I harbor no ill will or feelings toward them. It just didn't work out. The Program Dir Mr. SJ was a really nice guy.
I do thank Killerfly128 and Joe817 for the efforts. Thanks guys. All we can do is keep trying. Maybe if KLIF has a open line Friday, a few folks from this site could call in a voice their opinions.

killerfly128, I sent JDW an email on Friday. As he responded back to me, I assume he got it. See P.12 of this thread. I also supplied him with a link to this thread so he could read it and ingest all of what we've said, so he can make a rational decision on how/if he wants to handle it on his show.
