The IGC (Internet Gaming Council) http://www.igcouncil.org/ has been at the forefront in fighting this negative legislation and has done an extremely good job the last 8-9 years. They have employed several strong lobbiest to represent our needs in Washington DC. Over the years they have spent hundreds of thousand if not millions educating Congress and stopping them from passing legislation making online gaming or promoting illegal.
This group is formed mostly of casino operators, software providers and other companies dedicated to our industry. Over the years we have had grassroot operations where casino operators would urge there players to right the congressmen to protect their internet rights and set up form letters making it easy for the constituits to make their needs heard. This has really helped when the vote is coming up regarding online gaming.
I recommend keeping you eye on the IGC site and possible making a donation, as time gets close to a vote we should all post on our site informing our players that there rights are about to be taken away if they do not act. This has worked in the past and I hope the IGC will again provide us with what we need to put up on our sites.
