Default Re: What the Real Focus Needs to Be This Year to Legalize/Help Poker

One more thing. Saying that our chances are better by getting on a "must pass" bill is like saying the ocean is blue and wet. Saying that our "real focus" should be to hope leaders of both houses to do this for us just because a couple of lobbyists said they should, OTOH, seems naive. Don't you think they'd to this only if they feel their constituents want it? For this to happen, shouldn't we keep writing and calling, as we have been? Doesn't building support for the bills out there now do exactly that? So, shouldn't our real focus be right where it is now....getting Congress on our side, so they'll wish to attach our interests to "must pass" legislation? After all, there is revenue associated with IGREA. They'll eventually need it, as everything is under pay-go now.
