Message: [QUOTE="Charade You Are, post: 1906767, member: 39511"] They do much more than that. Their top legislative priority is establishing federal regulation of Internet poker. They also work at the state level to establish sensible laws for poker (online and offline). They lobby congress, provide input to congress to help shape poker legislation, testify before Congress, provide players with news and updates as well as the daily action plan. Trying to get anything through our politicized do-nothing congress is a gargantuan task. I know I don't have the stomach for it. Meeting with those morons and treating them with the respect they don't deserve can't be fun. This month they are touring the country to meet with poker players.
