Re: If it\'s illegal why don\'t they arrest us
Now there is a pretty good idea for a rally. Grab your labtops, sit on the courthouse steps of some state (preferably within wifi range) Have big posters that state "If its illegal, arrest us!" while playing poker on those labtops. Make sure you get media attention during this. I think that would open some eyes.

Re: If it\'s illegal why don\'t they arrest us
I understand and agree with your point, but this type thing would be more of an awareness type of issue. "Hey, did you know its not illegal to play poker online".

[/ QUOTE ] Right, but you don't want the headline to be "online poker players arrested on courthouse steps," regardless of what you were actually arrested for.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] because it isn't illegal to play online poker, and never has been. [/ QUOTE ] Where? [/ QUOTE ] umm, I'm not sure...where do YOU think? [/ QUOTE ] I asked because you sounded very sure you knew somewhere that "isn't illegal". I was unsure of a location. Now you say "I'm not sure" when I ask you to share. Is it secret or are you not sure?

If it's illegal why don't they arrest us [/ QUOTE ] Cops don't like to go door to door to arrest criminals. They prefer giant sting operations where they can net many at once. Instead of getting a letter in the mail telling us we've won free superbowl tickets and come pick them up, there will be some incredible bonus/signup offer for US residents that will spread like wildfire on 2+2 and suck everyone in.

Re: If it\'s illegal why don\'t they arrest us
Some people actually did this in Washington when the law here passed. Nothing was done, and nobody really cared. Now getting 50000 people in DC playing may do something [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
