You're all far too negative....

If you think nothing can be done about this - you've already lost. You guys are silly if

A) you think the majority of Americans are for keeping POKER outlawed (let's not even talk about other forms of gambling... because what do we want? We want poker legal.)

B) You think organizing and educating other Americans about the issues is worthless.

This is just a setback gentlemen. Poker has been around for a very long time in this country and it's not going away any time soon. Bill Frist will rue the day he attached this piece of legislation to Port Security. It was undemocratic, it was underhanded and it was wrong.

This idea that organizing and standing up is worthless, and that American's are all worthless and won't do anything about it, is absolutely the PROBLEM in this country. You are the problem if you think nothing can be done.

This is one of those things that hits close to home. As people log into their poker accounts and are denied - then that means they were affected IMMEDIATELY by something their GOVERNMENT did. They will be angry - they will regret not acting sooner, but - so what? They will act later, it's never too late.

So, instead of throwing your hands up and saying "[censored], well - what's gonna happen now?" Instead say "Hmm, this isn't right - let's see what I can do about this."

We must organize. And it's not like we are facing a violent and opressive government that all those black people faced during the civil rights movement. Or that we are facing alien and sedition acts... no, this is a MUCH MUCH MUCH easier law to fight. We aren't facing a government who will spray us down with the hoses for standing up against it anymore. There will be almost no public support for what this bill manifests. People are going to be outraged.

This is just a setback.
