So we call all these people and say what?? DO not add the ig portion to the bill?? Just call and say that?

[The Funky Llama]

yea man, thats fine. They are basically taking a tally of how many calls they get on each issue. And it does make a difference.

Just make it clear that you don't approve of the way they are trying to attach unrelated measures to Homeland Defense legislation and make reference to the Internet Gambling stuff as an example

Senate will be in for the next 90 minutes at least. House is looking like it will probably have a late night as well, but unclear how late.

[Silent1]

If the Senate leave in two hours, but the House is voting at midnight, does the senate come back tomorrow to do their part of the vote? Or is this a silly question?

I just got home and tried to call King's office (got v mail). Is it too late to call ?(i have 5:45 CST as i write this). Please post reply and i ll be happy to call anyone if not too late.

[briton]

Just leave a voice mail.

I just talked to a well-placed source who I agreed not to name, and was told this: The anti-gambling language HAS been attached to the Port Security Bill, and though the situation is still fluid, it is harder to get language out of a bill once it has been attached. If you value online gaming, now is the time for you and everyone you know to call.

Mr. K, Berge, Nate, et al, have you heard that the language has indeed been attached?

No one answered Lieberman, so left message 6:57 EST

[whitepotatoe]

Gad dammit. Don't tell me I had my wife call all those phone numbers for no reason. I hate owing her favors.

[Mr.K]

[censored]. The House is going to pass the port security bill. I don't know what's in there.
