Is gambling911 a reputable site? I see it quoted a lot and have no idea who they are.

the PPA is right in the middle of what's going on in DC. They need as many members to sign up as possible.

You can now even become a member for FREE, for all the people who think they're getting screwed. If you think the PPA is a fraud, fine, sign up for free. There's no harm in signing up for free.

In my opinion, their reporting should always be taken with a large grain of salt.

It may not be BS, but the article doesn't carry any weight either. Bolcerek can't just "introduce" an arbitrary bill without congressional sponsors. And if he does have sponsors, it's probably PPA lackeys like S. Berkeley that have no pull with the fat cats that get things done.

So in essence the bill will carry about as much weight as one proposing legalization of cocaine.

PS - I'm not anti-PPA, I certainly hope they prove me wrong.

I'm getting a much better insight into why so many other countries hate us.

I don't think this is necessarily true.

If and when a bill does get introduced, a think the people's outcry will have to be heard. We will really have the ability to put the pressure on our Congressmen to vote with our voice in mind.

Let me click my mouse or lose your seat in the House.
