There's link for blank t-shirts for $1.53 and that's retail to the
public. How much do you think they paid? Below is a link to buy 100000
t shirts for $0.25.

Not really. Party Poker could pay for the entire thing and wish to keep
their name out of it for the obvious reason.
They know there are gullible people like you that won't suspect.

And you know different - for a fact? We already know you're not very
good at research.

Yes, I've had 800 numbers for years. Have you?

So contacting the senators secretary and getting an honest answer as to
how many calls came in doesn't qualify as a poll? why not?
If she says 50 or so calls came in, she doesn't mean 500. there's no
reason to think that her answer doesn'y qualify as accurate.
