No, I would conclude that the Wexler bill is the only one which offers poker players an unrestricted pass out of the UIGE Act/Wire Act quagmire. We should support THAT bill.

I agree with his assesment rather of what the politics of the AGA are.

In his post above he does NOT advocate his usual conclusion, of roll over and play dead. Rather he offers only information as to what a part of the political landscape feels. I agree that his description is largely accurate.

I was pretty sure you weren't agreeing that we should only support the study bill.

I still think we should all focus on our political position. Congress just needs to know we support the right to play poker online. They aren't differentiating our positions on various bills, to be honest. If we blast away in support of our rights, we'll be better off than we were in the past, when we were surprisingly quiet.

I prefer SGPA as well, but I think we're better off both for that bill and for keeping the status quo to blast away in favor of that plus IGREA.

Again, the specifics hardly matter. If you're writing in favor of SGPA, you're doing as much as the next person writing for both IGREA and SGPA. And, supporting either of these helps the study bill, as it shows the American people (at least some of us) are demanding this.
