It's already been pointed out: The ban was 6th page news; reversing it will be front page news."

My newspaper yesterday (Sacramento Bee) had the gambling ban as their cover story on the front page. I think it is getting much more media attention that you think, and I think that will continue to grow. With that being said, I agree with you that nothing will happen overnight, but to get public opinion on our side obviously can't hurt.

I'm not saying it isnt getting any coverage, just that most people really dont care, especially not enough to do something about it.

I fully agree that public opinion on our side is good, never said anything to the contrary.

To say that most people really don't care is a poor way to look at it. I don't know about you guys, but EVERY single person that I work with and my entire family now knows exactly what is going on. I have educated everyone that I come in contact with about this issue and have explained it in a way that makes them care regardless of the 'gambling' issue. The best way to get other non-gamblers to care about it, is to educate them on the back door way this bill was passed and how our government unethically handled this bill. We also need to appeal to others about the ignorance of the government to think that it is their job to look out for our morals and how we as citizens want to live our lives.

This is the stuff that we should be doing instead of continually going back to the idea that other people just don't care or won't care.
