[b]Sorry[/b]

What a bunch of #@%&*)^% hypocrites.  I just reviewed a news article that covers the bill but completely omits the poker exclusion part.

[B]They increase their revenue and take care of the casino lobby and at the same time eliminate the competition.[/B] The proposal allows for the creation of two resort-style casinos and up  to 750 slot machines at the [B]state’s[/B] two horse racing tracks and two  former dog racing tracks. It also creates a five-member Gaming  Commission to license and regulate gambling. Some funds would be  directed to gambling addiction programs.

You could try firing off a bunch of [U]personal letters and phone calls[/U] (get as many friends or family members to do the same ) to your/their representatives in MA. The only thing that may help a little is  a good communication making it perfectly clear that [U]your vote [/U]will do the complaining for you. If every MA player could recruit 10 helpers to bombard the political offices in MA, it could make the difference.

I also personally believe that the approach of opposing gambling  could be more effective in this situation. ([I]Opponents of the bill say it’s moving too quickly and is need of an  extensive public review. They also say bringing expanded gambling to  Massachusetts will also carry [U]heavy social costs [/U]and up the number of  problem gamblers within the state.[/I]) I think the politicians are more afraid of the moral right rather than some online poker players.

Hope this thing fails and things work out for you.
