Re: WSJ: Harvard Ponders Just What It Takes to Excel at Poker

I am disappointed greatly whenever I see someone saying that contacting representatives etc. is a waste of time. Here, a bunch of people contact this representative, then we get a bill:
From the article:
"
Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler says he has drafted a more specific bill after being besieged by poker players in his South Florida district. "My bill will say that poker is a skill," he says."

By the way, Wexler went from being our enemy in 2000 to being with us against HR 4411 to cosponsoring HR 2046 (the Frank bill) to considering authoring his own legislation. Similarly, Peter King went from voting for HR 4411 and allowing UIGEA into the Safe Port Act to cosponsoring the Frank bill. This shows the power of educating our representatives.
