This is stolen from an American guy..


"I think it's time us poker players stand up against these politicians. I

truly enjoy playing online and we do it responsibly.

I think it's time us poker players stand up against these politicians. I
honestly think the politicians have underestimated the number of people who
truly enjoy playing online and we do it responsibly.

I believe it's time to let our numbers be heard. One of the main reasons
Congress passed this bill is because the majority of them thought this would
help them during election time. Let's show them just how many poker players are
out there by voting against them during the elections this November.
I've put together a list of all the State Representatives that voted for H R
4411 and the majority of them are up for re election. Let’s be heard at the
voting booths.
