Tina,

Ya gotta consider what is in it for them to vote your way?  Why is it to 
THEIR advantage to vote what you
want?  It may be very good for all the photographers in the USA,  but if 
it isn't good for the Representatives
and Senators, you know how it will work out.

Just tell me who stands to gain if it wins, and who stands to gain if it 
loses.

Skip the Sarah Palin platitudes in your answer

Jerry
