I don't think she knows about, nor cares about the legislation.

So, go sass her...maybe she will later.

Although, I think this approach would work best, and don't worry about lying to a politician, it doesn't count as a lie.

"My father got injured on the job a few years back and has been unable to work. His employer illegally neglected workman's comp insurance, so my father had no way to make ends meet, and the company folded so no law suits were possible. I was just starting school, there were bills to pay, and my father is a smart man and was able to become a skilled poker player quickly. Online poker is legal in this country and in my state, but this new bill will make it difficult for my father to be able to continue providing for my family. Please tell your husband, Mr. Frist that he made a big mistake that is impacting real people. My father can't walk and is really too old to start a new career now. I just don't know what my family will do."

Ask her if her husband still likes to adopt cats.

Only kidding... just leave her alone.

I plan to wait in line just like everyone else and I'm not going to harass the woman, so I don't see how I would really be bothering her. If she laughs at me or something I'll simply tell her that I care enough about this issue to stand in line for the chance to present 10 seconds of my opinions as a voter to the wife of an influential politician.

As I said above, I'm not going to hassle her in any way. I've called my Congressmen numerous times (hell, a lifelong friend of mine is the personal assistant to one of our Senators), and I think this is the least I can do right now as a poker player in our time of need. Wish me luck and hope for open ears.

Print out a copy of the Heir Frist Nazi Photo and ask her to sign it "Would you like a reacharound with that Fristing?"

I also think you're not going to accomplish anything, but I'm glad you're at least being intelligent and nonconfrontational about it.

EDIT: Didn't see this had already happened. Good job going about it the way you did, even if I don't think it's going to do anything.

If she had nothing to do with the bill, and it sounds like she didnt, annoying her is an ass move.

Please reread my posts. I don't plan to annoy her in any way.

Agree with Perit.. who will step up to play the role if a reporter is there and wants an interview later.... how much are wheelchairs renting for a day?

Also, be sure and gift wrap the strap-on. No vaseline, please.
