Most political action committee's are made for the the exact purpose of throwing money at politicians. If you think most politicians wont take this money for their re-election campain you are incorrect.

ALL political action committtees are made for the exact purpose of throwing money at politicians. There a handful of politicans who wont take PAC money at all and given the recent Abramoff scandal many politicans are going to be very careful about where their campaign money is coming from. But that is beside the point. My original point is that Party, Stars et al can not contribute to PACs because they are corporations. PAC money MUST come from personal funds. So any advocacy from the poker sites is going to come in the form of lobbying and grassroots mobilization. The poker sites do not have an easy channel to throw money at politicans.

I am thinking there are ways around this. Dont know for sure. What party did was offer a 30$ bonus to me if I donated 25 bucks to the PPA. This money did not come from party, it came from me. I am thinking there are loopholes that would allow the poker sites to have a strong PAC and be able to throw some green in the right direction, if it came down to them needing to.
