Re: Seattle files lawsuit against SuperSonics' attempt to move

Does anyone have any contact info for the Pistons org (specifically ownership)? I used their email link on the pistons.com site, but I was hoping for something more direct. I sent this letter:

Quote:
Dear Pistons organization,
I am a huge fan of the Detroit Pistons, and I have a lot of love and respect for Mr Davidson, Joe Dumars, and all others who make this great franchise what it is. For this reason I am writing to ask you to vote against Mr Clay Bennett's ownership group's bid to relocate the Seattle Supersonics to Oklahoma City. The dishonest and insincere practices they have engaged in make me fear that such a thing could happen to any team in the NBA, even to our beloved Pistons org. When commissioner Stern seems to sanction this kind of cut-throat behavior, it makes it all the more necessary for the fans to let the owners of our team know how we feel. Voting against it would send the message to your fans all over the NBA that you truly respect and appreciate us, a favor that we are sure to return. Please use your influence to prevent this hijacking of an obviously beloved franchise from taking place. Looking forward to many more wonderful years of Detroit basketball excellence and fan support.
Thank you,
(name)
Is this too long? I want something short and sweet, but something that expresses how I feel. I wish there were a way to start a national campaign for fans league-wide to write their owners and ask them to vote against this attempt. The owners are smart, and if they see enough interest from their fans, they are more likely to protect their own interests by making their fans happy.
