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.

[/ QUOTE ] 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.

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
Dunno what my ten bucks will do this close to the election, but I guess every little bit helps...how much does tv advertising cost in Arizona?

Kyl's advertisements here (Arizona) say that he helped write the Patriot Act, anyone know how true this statement is? [/ QUOTE ] Given my opinion of the Patriot Act, I'm willing to take his word for it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
