Mel Watt (D-NC) is my congressman. I've written him several times regarding online poker and the UIGEA. Each time I get a letter back that details the issue and how he is all about personal freedoms, etc. Basically he's on our side. He'll be getting another one letter though.

Excellent! Glad to hear we're getting some support on Capitol Hill. I really think many of these poliiticans believed the spin the social conservatives put on this issue and are now seeing the light. I spoke with Harry Reid's assistant yesterday. I think he's moving in our direction as well. He sent Arnold Snyder an affirmative letter a few days ago, which is welcome news.

If you focus this letter to Mel Watt on banking issues, you should be in great shape to tweak it a bit and sent it to Barney Frank and a couple of others.

Too bad we didn't start doing this as a group last year. I really wish I had. It's an uphill fight now, but we're starting to be heard.
