Id say stage for charity event with some named people. Let Al bring his bud Howard Stern down. Maybe a couple tour guys. Raymer and Jerry Wang. If you can get Obama to show would be a coup, but any incumbent Senator or House(House member with status). Rangel might show, he enjoys poker. Im not sure about Conyers. Guys with nothing to lose because they are elected for life. Im sure it could get on TV, even if Raymer is still suing WPT. If you got press coverage of this and we had a few hundred or more people in town................Id suggest picking up some hotel tabs or flights(not mine, Ill pay if i go)IF you can parlay it into press buzz. People I've asked would go if it was free. They still are hesitant about the PPA. Seeing them actually on tv and the news would do wonders.
