Great Neteller Poker Story At USA Today

[oldbookguy]

Thanks Tuff, as I just responded at another fourm, yes, there were many things the GOP did wrong it is just the UIGEA was the last in a long line.

More importantly, we have a chance to get our views seen by many non poker people as well.

For some it was the poker ban that made them re-examine their voting patterns... For many many more it was the "nanny state"/"moral highground" the Republicans are trying to stand on, which poker became a victim of. This has been cited in many polls as a weakness of the current Republican party.

[Legislurker]

Now, if we just had an organization to rally and document those votes. Imagine some kind poker play's union or alliance that told politicians they would be voted out if they invaded our homes and livelihoods.

Thanks for the heads-up. Comment added.

It's considering re-entering the U.S. market in non-gaming areas, Neteller spokesman Andrew Gilchrist says.

Is there any chance Neteller would come back to the US to service poker-only sites, similar to ePassporte?

[Legislurker]

Imagine if they had spent 10 million on lawyers in 04 or 05.

Suggested Letter Beginning

Former lobbyist Jack Abramoff would be quit proud of the 109th congress after passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA).

The Horse Racing Industry, The NBA, MLB, NFL and Indian Tribes donated millions of dollars in this effort. What did they all receive in return for this ‘support’ of illegal Internet Wagering?

The Horse Racing Industry was granted an exemption declaring that is not to be considered illegal.
The major sports, an exemption allowing them to run ‘Fantasy” Sports Betting, racking in millions of dollars in user and licensing fees.
The Indian Tribes, an exemption allowing them to decide for themselves if casinos on tribal Lands can offer Internet Wagering.

What did the average Joe who enjoys a game of cards get? He was the benefactor of the DoJ crackdown on Internet Wagering. An estimated 250,000 American Citizens had an estimated 94 MILLION dollars seized by the Federal Government.

Too bad we, the average Joe, did not have millions to donate to Congress for our personal exemption to play cards in, as Rep. Bachus put it, in our robes!

add an "e" to "quit" in the first sentence.

don't use "in" twice in the last sentence.

looks good.

Thanks, do not know how I and MS Word missed that.

Also, as in all things numbers count.

We need to all revisit the story and by EACH comment click the recommend button.

The higher the numbers, the more USA Today will pay attention.
