Re: I will get to speak to Goodlatte one-on-one tomorrow. Help prep me
Bring up the numbers - 23 million Americans enjoyed online poker. Why piss them off? They're seriously angry, especially the ones with money stuck in Neteller.
D'Amato made a very good point in an interview - the UIGEA discriminates against homebound and disabled people. You can only play poker if you're ambulatory. People who can't get out of the house can't enjoy poker.
I wouldn't bring up the fact that what goes on in cyberspace is not the government's business or jurisdiction, providing it's not doing harm. It's just not theirs to rule on. Lest they forget, oppressive laws brought about the Boston Tea Party. It can happen again.
