Just thought I would provide this for the members, if you want to check periodically, on the status of the proposed bill.

Thanks, Cynthia, for posting this link. What does the roll call mean exactly? Should we try to email appropriate people before this roll call or wait until then? Just trying to ascertain what timeframe and what window of opportunity (to speak out) we have and what would be the most effective time to email.
Jetset, much respected here and very knowledgeable about the industry, posted that in the past the
IGC et al raised awareness and published draft letters but he is unaware whether a similar effort is being mounted by them at present. This, again, might induce people to wait until the
IGC comes up with some directives and loudly sounds the alarm. HR4777 is quite dangerous given the current climate in which outright banning of internet gambling might finally be passed. Yet, i don't sense a great sense of urgency to do something from what i have been reading in this thread. What's your take on it, Cynthia?
