If you want something done, you need to lobby. It’s that simple.
There is an interesting development in this area. Antigua and Barbuda’s law firm are arranging a free trip of ‘ordinary Americans’ who gamble online to Washington, D.C. to lobby the Senators on this very subject:

P.S. Washington state is where that infamous recent state law was passed making online gambling a felony, which is not the same as the nation’s capitol, Washinton, D.C.
The difference can be confusing to us Brits when we hear ‘Washington’ mentioned, and maybe to others outside the US so I thought I’d mention it.
