Interesting Robert Wexler Interview
 
The guy made some excellent points and I found myself encouraged that someone in congress seems to fully understand the issues involved.

no but just say " My fellow democrats and I were wrong when we ... "

or

" we were bullied into ..."

just about any statement that isn't a blatant lie would do.

That's the Safe Port Act. Of course he voted for that. He's probably referring to the Internet Gambling bill that was sent through Congress earlier last year as standalone legislation. I can't remember the bill number.

The House bill was H.R. 4411. The majority of House Democrats voted in favor of it. Wexler spoke out against it.

Overall, a god interview, now, PLEASE LISTEN TO HIM!

Join the many and WRITE CONGRESS!

Join the PPA! (www.pokerplayersalliance.org)

I note he stated just the mention of his name in a Wall Street Journal story generated more e-mail to him than any other single issue during his time in congress, lets make this so to ALL members of congress!!!!!
