This will send one for you! I did, snd your today!
What is this? :confused:
I am certainly not clicking on it :huh2:
“this” is a link connecting to the Poker Players’ Alliance site which has a form you can fill in and send writing to your Representative asking him to vote against the bill trying to make internet gambling illegal.
It’s a great idea – they are doing something positive.
Get in there and send your request – every letter is considered to represent 200 voters statistically.
We are in danger of losing our livelihood, affiliates, and must make some effort.
If Goodlatte’s law passes, they can have our ISPs shut down access to gambling sites and we’re out of business in the US.

I’m not happy with some parts of that email:
…you must conclude that it should be afforded separate treatment from gambling…
But other points are very well-written:
…The bill also unfairly makes exceptions for some gaming activities, including state lotteries and placing online bets for horse races…
…Ironically, many in Congress recently chastised China for forcing ISPs to regulate content that Chinese citizens could receive, yet those same lawmakers now find it acceptable for the U.S. government to censor the Internet…
Overall, Poker Alliance is seeking to divorce itself from other forms of online gambling, essentially throwing eveyone else to the wolves. Basically, I see them saying: “It’s best not to ban anything, but if you must, make another exemption for poker, cause it’s a game of skill, played by kings and presidents.”
Not the message I want to send out to anyone.
Ah, ok. Sorry my bad. Didn’t realise what it was
