    TY Congressman Barton for fighting the fight. I am hoping it passes this year as it will be tougher to pass in an election year.

    If this dude gets the bill passed, he will become the first Republican to get a campaign contribution from me.

    Sounds good, though I did get my Congressman's response just the other day and it was none too encouraging. Not a flat-out "No" but the bit about sociological (and cultural?) problems sounds like he is predisposed against any liberalization of gaming laws.

    Edit: not gonna reprint the letter, having formatting issues, but basically he says poker on TV masks the dark side of excessive gambling.

    But blowing money on the state lottery is ok and thats not gambling, because it goes towards the good like schools, yet our schools have no money and we foot the bill on all school supplies now. It'll pass.

    Congressman Don Young from Alaska is a guy who has supported Poker in the past but hasn't signed on with this yet. He would be a great guy to contact and ask for his support.
