    I have seen a lot of people post that they are confident that the bill will not pass the senate. I am curious as to why they feel this way. Also, when will the bill likely reach the senate floor?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    I think one of the reasons is due to it being an election year. The session is abbreviated so many believe they will not even get to it. Apparently the bill is not considered an overly important one.

    'the bill is not considered an overly important one."

    If they get to the bill it will pass...I dont think the Poker Lobby is strong or influential enough to stop it

    How does a lobby get strong and influencial?

    Lots of people get behind it. That's the first step, always...

    Now's the time to get involved.
