News From The Convention Floor

Fighting for truth, justice, and the YTB way! Our very own Clark Kent Travel-Pro is reporting from the convention floor. The report was extensive, so we are including only excerpts.

I would urge anyone who is not here in St. Louis to get yourself to the Opening of our Convention at the Edward R. Jones Dome, Friday morning at 9:00am Central Standard time. The company has decided to postpone the unveiling of our Lady Liberty and dedicate the first 15 minutes of our opening specifically addressing this issue before we move into the Second Phase of YTB.

How un American. How can Liberty be put on hold? Oh wait, this "Liberty" is a fraud. Must be the theme of the convention.

We can not express how important it will be for you and your YTB business to see first hand what our Founders and our Legal Team have to say. We want to give you ample opportunity to hear first hand just how we will vigorously fight this personal attack" and why we believe we have a very solid shot at prevailing and inning the frivolous lawsuit.

Recruit to the death! Must recruit! What is Coach gonna say that he already has not? If he talks about it to 20,000 people his ego has finally been eclipsed by his stupidity!

Make no mistake, this suit was a personal attack towards YTB and the Traditional Travel Agents are behind what is going on. The timing of this suit was far too orchestrated and calculating for it not to be, as an embargo was put on the release of this suit until 10:00 PM Pacific Time on August 4th. Just 1 day before the opening of our National Convention.

The TTAs are flattered that you feel we orchestrated this. I am pretty sure the attorney general might feel otherwise. And just how is it that YTB has been negotiating this for 18 months and the TTAs have been actively campaigning for only 12? Travel-Pro...make sure you attend a math class at the University!

In addition, California has also filed suites this year with Heinz, Frito-Lay, Kettle Foods, McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, KFC, Pepsi, Proctor and Gamble, AOL, and Country Wide Home Loans just to name a few.

Travel-Pro---take spelling as well. Those "suites" they filed. Can you show shere they were intended to topple McDonalds, Burger King, Et Al? Most likely it was for something less than scamming hundreds of thousands of people out of money. I mean McDonalds has screwed up my order on occasion, but to my knowldge they never scammed me. And to boot they don't use styrofoam! And it seems like all of those companies actually pay people to work for them. Not ask people to pay to work for them.

If however you want to be part of the battle with another State just like Florida in 2006 and Rhode Island in 2007, both of which YTB prevailed, I urge you to be in the Dome Friday morning. Our National Convention has more than 20,000 Reps and RTA getting the same play at the same time from Founders and Leaders and we have plenty of room for you.

Wait a minute, for the past year you have said YTB has never been investigated. Please decide which side of your mouth you want to speak from.

Coach, Scott and Kim know how to handle this, they are handling this, and we are not going to hide. We recommend that you stand tall with us on Friday, August 8th at 9:00am when the play is called.

So Coach is calling another play? We saw how well the play turned out when you sold the Carnival certificates in November. The Olympic play was also a good one. Heck, it seems that his play on the two cruises did not work out too well. If the lemmings will not get behind him during good times, what are they gonna do now? And what is he? A coach, pastor or what? Or does it depend on the audience? And what team does he coach? And why does he have only a corner when most coaches have fields or courts? But I am sure he is pleased that you got one more recruiting pitch in!

It should also be noted that if anyone tries to contact you about this suit, please forward any questions and comments to media@ytb.com, and let our Company handle this battle. This is their responsibility, not yours.

Oops, you maybe should tell that to the people at the convention that are talking to the media out front. When you have 438,000 people in a scam one never knows what they will say. And to be honest, the ones that are quoted so far, have not really shed any type of intelligent light on YTB. Note to those that do talk to the media...calling the Attorney General an idiot doe NOT help the case.

See you at the Convention!!

OK, one last pitch!

Well there it is, live from St. Louis! All is well and the Coach is going to address the 3,600 Reps and RTAs that are in attendance on Friday. Wait...3,600 you say? Well, yes, 1,600 is the number of people that are Reps and RTAs. The remainder of the reported 22,000 are family and friends. The attendance figures do include friends, neighbors, children, aunts, uncles, and anyone else that wants to attend. You see, even the play called for the convention was a disappointment and they (like the cruise) decided to give it away. After all, it is all about recruiting.

Don't expect too much on Friday other than a round of Kool-Aid and soothing music assuring you that it is all a misunderstanding. Have we heard that before?
