As reported by the Norwich Bulletin: "Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Alan
Schlesinger said he was simply trying to be left alone while gambling at
Foxwoods Resort Casino when he got a Wampum Rewards card with a fake name.
"Schlesinger said Thursday that he got the card in the early 1990s when he
played blackjack occasionally. He said dealers constantly asked him if he
wanted a card and he finally broke down and got one to avoid the questions.
".Schlesinger said he used the fake name Alan Gold to protect his privacy
because the casino was controversial in the area. He said he also didn't
want to receive marketing promotions from the casino by mail."
