Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
I'm going to donate, it just pisses me off that there are actually members of this website too stupid to do the same. Theres probably thousands right now who are just opening the thread and closing it while they go back to their 5/10 nl games.

I'm guessing there are links at PocketFives, CardPlayer, etc etc and there have only been 54 people willing to try and make a difference? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

There lied the aggressive "get out the vote" campaigns the Republicans have been so successful with. Currently it is a sad, but true fact, hence Kyl's spokesmens comment about our demographic.

[/ QUOTE ] I just posted a link for this on the Poker Office Forum: http://pokq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5158 If any of you are in other forums, do the same! Guys, we need to work harder on this! We need to show that we can make a difference. If you can't get off your lazy arse and donate even $1, then poker players truly do not deserve to play online poker. Wake up people! If you've already donated, do whatever you can do get the word out on this to others. Talk to your friends. Talk to your neighbors. Cross post this in other forums on 2+2. Post links to this at other websites. Don't wait for someone else to fight this battle for you. Do something more than you have done. If you have yet to make a donation, do it now. If you have not mentioned this idea somewhere else, then do that. If we all start doing a little more than we have been, our collective fight is going to be a whole lot stronger. Don't wait even a day. Do something more than you have now! It's hard to do more than what we are comfortable with. But, if we realistically expect to change things, we've all got to get our of our "comfort" zone. We've all got to push just a little bit harder!

Re: If you can give a little money to try to defeat Jon Kyl
I bring up my point again about NOT being reached...
In the past 3 weeks I have recieved 8 E-mails from the Republican party about the importance of my Vote and I am not a member of the Republican Party and typically vote Democrat... I have not received a single E-mail addressed DEAR POKER PLAYER... Despite my E-mail address provided to 5 different potential databases at Pokerstars, Party Poker, Full Tilt, the Dakota Poker League and the 2+2 Forum... The Only Reason I'm up on the issue is because I actually Search the internet for information... It's the only reason that I'm aware of the PPA, Poker Patriots or Kyl, Leach, Goodlatte and Frist... Prior to the legislation being passed I was unaware of THE LEGISLATION... I didn't know about the PPA... I had no idea what Leach, Goodlatte and Kyl were up to... I didn't even know about Jim Kasper and his legislation in North Dakota and I live in the Damn State... Most people are like me... Politically unaware(previously in my case) and we have no chance at all of banding together to fight the issue if the massive Databases are not accessed and utilized... 23 Million Strong means nothing if they are just 23 million INDIVIDUAL People... I hope the stories about Gambling Sites sending Mass E-Mails to Arizona residents are true... It'll give me hope for the future... I have little hope that the PPA will get anything done... I feel this way because the only reason I've heard of the PPA is because I FOUND IT MYSELF... Realistically... Until I start seeing Dear Poker Player E-mails in my inbox... We are Doomed...
