If poker was exempted I would not actively letter write or donate money for the other. However I would follow what was going on and it would influence my voting habits.

I think online gambling should be allowed but I don't think engaging in it is a good idea for me or 95%+ of the population, so I wouldn't actively fight for it.

And this my friends is exactly why gamblers as a group don't band together so well. Self serving, not my problem attitude.

I personally want all of it allowed, it sucks to see the post just above, it even supports the 'nanny' attitude.

I would support it, but I wouldn't be actively writing letters and calling. This is obviously a very selfish stance, but if only poker is legal then it might encourage those gamblers that would normally just stick to blackjack or some other casino game to spend their money playing poker.

Poker needs super easy access to get the games going, while sports betting/casino type games do not. I may do something, but not as much as now.

I would, although I would not fight nearly as hard.

I'd still like to have the option to bonus whore the casino games, but at the same time wouldn't want my fish to lose their money to a casino as opposed to poker. Not sure which would have a greater effect on me.

I don't care to play blackjack online or slots. And wouldn't care if they banned online casino games. However, if someone wants to play some 5 dollar blackjack after they get home from work or a 20 dollar poker tourney it's none of my business and definitly isn't any of our governments business. And as a matter of principal I believe we should stick together and fight for all online gaming.
