Dear Jeff,

Thank you for taking the time to email me regarding U.S. House Bill H.R.

2267 and U.S. Senate Bill S. 1597.

Because the ban on poker was done by the federal government and House Resolution 2267 and Senate Resolution 1597 are federal pieces of Legislation; they fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government and Congress.<span> </span>As your State Assemblyman, I will not have an opportunity to vote on this issue, so I have forwarded your letter to our representative in Congress, Representative Paul Ryan.<span> </span>I am certain Representative Ryan will address your concerns.<span> </span>

Please feel free to contact me in the future regarding any issues before the State Legislature.<span> </span>

Sincerely,

Representative Scott Gunderson

83rd District

Wisconsin State Assembly

I guess he just completely missed the point of the email.
