Cliff Notes:
On October 26, 2006, this community started a drive to donate money against Arizona Senator Jon Kyl--if you don't know, this is a senator that sponsored the bill against ongline gambling. One week later, we have raised over $10,000 against senator Kyl:

Great job everybody! Our donations have shown that we will fight. But, the drive is not over. You still have a chance to contribute. If you still haven't donated, please go to the page and donate whatever you can. Add your name to the list that shows that you actually did something. I know that, regardless of who wins, I and many others will continue to refer to this donation effort long after the elections. This, among other efforts, will be used to show that poker players do have a voice. So, add your name to the list of people that have donated.
Also, please realize that this race is turning out to be closer than a lot of people thought:

If you have already donated, please email or contact anyone you know that lives in Arizona. Talk to them about Kyl vs. Pederson. Try to get them to vote this coming Tuesday. Pederson has a substantial lead among young voters. The problem is that young voters typically do not vote. If a large chunk of the younger population actually voted, Pederson would win. Talk to your friends, your family, or anyone you know in Arizona who would vote against Kyl. Beg them to go vote.
