Clearly Bachus doesn't give a **** about online gambling, and writing letters and spamming his facebook isn't changing his opposition. With the right wing propaganda machine - Beck, O'reilly, Hannity, etc - suddenly praising libertarian ideals of constitutional rights and limited government, wouldn't they love the narrative of liberal big brother stripping our freedom to play poker and pocketing money from American citizens? Perhaps the media is a more effective channel through which to pressure Bachus.
Fox "news" might actually be an ally here, strange as that might sound. They could very well continue their narrative of attacking anything and everything Obama does by spinning black friday as the Obama administration launching a socialist/marxist attack on America's right to play a legal game.
Combine this with a star tea bagger introducing AGA's bill, and we might even have the hoard of bumbling tea party douche-****s on our side.
