You don't get this.

They're going to make it illegal for banks and credit card companies to do business with online gaming sites. Fishies don't want to use Netteller, too complicated. Get what this means now? And yes, they can do it.

Also if you mention that you think it's an underhanded tactic to attach unrelated riders to important legislation, I think most Senators agree and will be more receptive. Even if the effect of mentioning the lameness of the tactic is small, it's worth it. The Senator might not care strongly one way or the other about internet gambling, but Senators definitely DO care about procedural bs getting pulled.

I JUST called Frists office, they said the bill passed but he DID NOT attach the internet gambling legislation

I'm guessing we had a small part in that

(hope the assistant was talking about the same bill)

Does this say what I think it says?

There was the DoD bill and the Port Security bill. We appear to be in the clear on the former but the latter is still very much up in the air until adjournment.

I'd recommend reading all the relevant threads in the Legislation forum. These bastards (Frist, et al) are like The Terminator and whatnot and what have you per se.

I called Arlen Specter's office. It was easy, they didn't ask where I was calling from.

I called Frist's (my senator) office and almost got into a debate with his staffer who answered the phone. Don't think I'm changing any minds over there.
