If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
 
Even if it is $5 or $10, I think if enough do this we can send a message.

Although it is still an outside shot, the polls are starting to get closer. If Kyl goes down it would be huge for online poker.

done.

contribution sent.

as regards the legislation forum thread suggesting a contribution to the lady in missouri, i think contributions to kyl's opponent is more "to the point."

perhaps crossposting there wouldnt be bad.

Contribution complete. It hasn't updated it yet, does it have to clear in your bank account before they get it on the page?

Looks like a contribution for $15 went through from the last #'s I wrote down.

Poker Players against Kyl is the #1 donating group on the ActBlue site for Pederson, in terms of total $$ given. #2 for total number of donations. Let's keep 'em coming.

We just broke $4k!!! I donated $10 and it felt great! Anything I can do to hurt Kyl gives me pleasure!!!

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
 
I'm in for $20 my position is that Frist and Kyl should never be allowed in an office of our government again. This should have been the focus from day one. Once candidates know not to mess with us they will find better things to do.

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
 
Even $5 will help, I think the number of donators is more important than the amount right now, get your friends, wife, parents anyone, even just $1.

Knocking on the door of 5k, and spittin' distance from having the most contributors.

Forgo that fatmac w/fries, and let's see how high this thing can go.

Well, I just contributed my 2 cents and became the 30th donor to Poker Players against Kyl. What an awesome name. Even if this does absolutely no good, it's a great protest vote to let people know we can't be messed with. HelpWesPac now has 37 donors, I'd like to see ours on the top of the list. Just donate 1 dollar if that's all you have.

Don't let this thread die, donate even just a $1 it will take 5 min of your day.

I just wish twoplustwo (the company) could get behind something, (maybe this is it now, maybe it isn't for the time being) and put a sticky up everywhere.

This thread started in internet gambling to tell them what was going on and they moved it back here? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'll be perfectly honest, I only donated $5 but I feel good about it nonetheless.

There are 68,394 registered users of twoplustwo. If everyone who is an American donated $5-10 it would be a great message.

Just pitched in my $15. Nice to see that Poker Players are dominating the donations. Still short 3 (to WesPac) on number of contributors though...

Took over the first spot! 40 donors - $5,640. Keep it coming.

Check out today's Arizona Star from Tucson and notice the comment from KYL's PR Man...

http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/153358

Every Database in Arizona should be utilized and each person in the database should be contacted 10 times!!!

faustusmedea 10-29-2006 02:04 PM

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
 
Kyl PR man Andy Chasin dismissed the industry's flexing.
"They have the same right to vote, but if you look at the demographics …" he said, drifting into a long pause before changing the subject.
The pause implied that perhaps gamblers aren't the most diligent voters.
Mark Bergman, Pederson's top campaign spinmeister, had an interesting twist on the issue, somehow tying it to Kyl's support of the war in Iraq.
"He spent his time working on online gambling instead of the war in Iraq," he said.

Unfortunately both of these guys have it right. If there are billions being spent at online poker, its hard to understand a couple of days and only a few thousand dollars. Still something is better than nothing and we need to hope AZ players will prove him wrong at the polls.

The second guy nails it though; there has to be at least 10 major issues with national importance well beyond online gambling. Hopefully folks recognize Kyl is wasting his office on this silliness instead of say spending the last 4 years to try and succeed over there in the cradle of civilization. How do you explain to a fallen soldier's family it was more important to ban poker than put armor on a humvee????

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
 
The Comment by Andy Chasin is another poke in the eye!!!

It's like having bulletin board material and having no Bulletin Board to pin it to...

If the PPA is the lead dog they should have People 2 deep in Arizona right now... Arizona State in Tempe and the U of Arizona in Tucson should be covered...

Are they???

Most likely not...

Do you know how I know the Poker Community is not doing enough... I have accounts on 3 sites... I play in a poker league in my home state of North Dakota... I'm registered on this forum... That's 5 different Databases that I can be reached at and I have not recieved a single E-mail...

Once again... It's Bulletin Board material with no Bulletin Board to pin it on...

I just made a post over at pocket fives about this. If we can post links on other forums, we might be able to get more people to donate.

We need to show these [censored] that conventional wisdom is wrong and they need to listen to everyone.

There seems to be little fear about the efforts us poker players can mount. Unfortunately they may be correct. If the college students made an effort to vote, Kyl should be very afraid, but this has never been the case.
