Default Urgent - Call senators regarding online gambling

Please check out the legislation forum, and call the senators listed below. Senator Frist is making another last-minute attempt to get online gambling banned.

I know this is the B&M forum, but if online poker is banned, your tables will be overrun by thousands of extra internet nits.


These people have jurisdiction over port security legislation on Senate side. Call them and say something to the effect of, "I am strongly opposed to Senator Frist adding internet gambling language to the port security bill."

It doesn't matter where you're from. Thank in advance.

Susan Collins, Chairwoman Senate Homeland Security Committee: 202-224-2523 main office, 202-224-4751 committee office (this is the more important one to call)

Joe Lieberman, Ranking Member of same: 202 224-4041, 202-224-2627 (committee office, more important)

Daniel Inouye, Ranking Member, Senate Commerce Committee: 202-224-0411

Aw [censored]. Looks like we're sunk.

Get ready for waves of noobs at your tables asking, "where's the raise any button?"

I doubt it. Most of those people won't be able to get anywhere near the earn rate they could online. I predict a very quick bustout for most of these people.

I thought it was already "banned" and/or illegal?
Didn't they arrest one of the internet poker website owners when he came into the U.S.?

Blame Al Gore....he invented the internet. Sumbich must have let PartyPoker out of his lock box.
