No need to apologize it is a good idea, just wrong person to send the letter too.

Umm, I am sure O'Reilly would be anti-gambling to cater to his fanboy conservative base; and then proceed to sexually harass coworkers.

I was listening to NPR (prob the only 22 year old that does) today and a guy was on and he basically said this would just drive people to use "underground" banking sources and just make it harder for the U.S. to track money laundering. He said that the "moral" anti-gambling people may think they have a victory but in actuality the have created a much larger problem.

So I guess it is not just poker players who think this bill is BS!

Also 22, also listen to NPR.

For those that would just like to voice their opinion on the subject, go to usatoday.com, scroll down the right hand side til you see the article re: Party and the gambling bust, and then you can leave a comment....usually when i read these, there are "a few" comments on the subject, but this one already has way more comments than usual...let's flood it, I did, and even the "everyday guys" that dont sound like they play online think it's rediculous, so ....rally!!!!

I could see a piece being run on "Lou Dobbs Tonight" (CNN). The show regularly points out instances of government hypocrisy. The bill was briefly (and I mean *briefly*) mentioned on the show today but perhaps with enough messages they might develop a story on it. show contact form

There are always letters to the editor of your local newspaper. You even have a shot of getting your letter printed.
