Hi Leader:

There are really three groups that want to see the legislation fail. They are the Internet cardrooms, the individual players, and the affiliates. The thing is, at least in my opinion, that when a group claims to represent the second group listed (the players) but then turns out to be a member of the third group (the affiliates) I believe it brings their whole purpose into question from the point of view of the members of Congress.

Best wishes,
Mason
