My talking points:
- Only a few states have laws explicitly outlawing internet poker, I would hope Mass. wouldn't join the others.
- I switched to Democratic Party and have been donating to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, to various Democratic candidates in close elections including Steve Beshear.
- Told his office I voted for him, my first Democrat Party governor in 12 years due to the Republicans effort for a "nanny state" (got that word in there without sounding like a Yahoo) and specifically for attacking online poker.
- While the Governor proposes expanded gambling in the state, I didn't want to be a criminal for playing online poker from my living room after I put my son to bed.
- My friends and many co-workers enjoy online poker
- Bring up Newton based- WorldWinner Inc. may be in danger due to wording of legislation
