TCU alum Karyn Frist ’76, wife of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, will be on campus tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 19) signing her newly released book, “Love You, Daddy Boy”. This book was prompted by the weekly letters her father wrote her while she was an undergraduate at TCU. The book is a compilation of stories written by 70 famous American women about the importance of their father in their lives. All proceeds of the book go to charity. The book signing will be from 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. at the Dee J. Kelly Alumni and Visitors Center.

I plan to go tomorrow and politely explain to her why (and how strongly) I disprove of her husband's addendum to the Safe Port Act. Obviously I won't have much time, so I'm trying to rehearse what I will say in those 20sec or so.

Although I plan on asking her to hear me out for a few minutes after the signing is done, I'm not counting on being granted this opportunity. Thus, I think presenting her with a single page document explaining my views is the best way to convey my views on this issue (mostly that there should be an exception for poker, which is a game of skill, and that regulation/taxation is the only real long-term solution).

That said, has anybody already typed up something like this that I could use instead of writing my own? PPA maybe? I'm not trying to get out of doing work -- in fact, I consider myself an excellent writer -- I just don't want to get anything wrong (especially from a legal standpoint) because that would totally kill my credibility.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Don't hesitate to question why the gambling on horses isn't against in this and yet poker is. Go get her!

I don't think she knows about, nor cares about the legislation.

So, go sass her...maybe she will later.

Although, I think this approach would work best, and don't worry about lying to a politician, it doesn't count as a lie.

"My father got injured on the job a few years back and has been unable to work. His employer illegally neglected workman's comp insurance, so my father had no way to make ends meet, and the company folded so no law suits were possible. I was just starting school, there were bills to pay, and my father is a smart man and was able to become a skilled poker player quickly. Online poker is legal in this country and in my state, but this new bill will make it difficult for my father to be able to continue providing for my family. Please tell your husband, Mr. Frist that he made a big mistake that is impacting real people. My father can't walk and is really too old to start a new career now. I just don't know what my family will do."

Ask her if her husband still likes to adopt cats.

Only kidding... just leave her alone.

I plan to wait in line just like everyone else and I'm not going to harass the woman, so I don't see how I would really be bothering her. If she laughs at me or something I'll simply tell her that I care enough about this issue to stand in line for the chance to present 10 seconds of my opinions as a voter to the wife of an influential politician.

As I said above, I'm not going to hassle her in any way. I've called my Congressmen numerous times (hell, a lifelong friend of mine is the personal assistant to one of our Senators), and I think this is the least I can do right now as a poker player in our time of need. Wish me luck and hope for open ears.

Print out a copy of the Heir Frist Nazi Photo and ask her to sign it "Would you like a reacharound with that Fristing?"
