Straight and to the point. Quite different than the political BS 5-paragraph but nothing said form letters I've received from others in the past. [/ QUOTE ] No joke. How refreshing!

Re: Good: my response from Congressman Ron Paul
[ QUOTE ]
A while back I sent out some messages expressing my support of online gambling and Barney Frank's initiative in tossing the UIGEA. Received an email today from Ron Paul. [ QUOTE ] Hello, I am Congressman Ron Paul's legislative director. You are receiving this message because you contacted our office regarding Internet gambling. Dr. Paul intends to work with House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank to repeal the ban. [removed signature/etc] [/ QUOTE ] It was titled: FW: Internet Gambling. I've never received such a sweet email. Straight and to the point. Quite different than the political BS 5-paragraph but nothing said form letters I've received from others in the past. That's at least 2 on the Financial Services Committee completely against the UIGEA. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Reply asking him to publicly state his intentions on the issue... Explain to him how many poker players are out there...

Re: Good: my response from Congressman Ron Paul
Did you folks know Ron Paul is also running for president?
Hes not mentioned much because he's well known as the most libertarian of all republicans and has little money. But most posters here would probably agree with most of his positions. Check him out all of you who routinely say there is no real choice out there. Skallagrim

Re: Good: my response from Congressman Ron Paul
[ QUOTE ]
Wish I could get a response from my Tennessee Senators and Representatives. Have sent e-mails and letters weekly since passage of the UIGEA and have yet to get my first response. [/ QUOTE ] Isn't Bill Frist one of your senators? I doubt you will get a response from him other than a Cartman esque reply of "Na na na na na na, you can't play online poker! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
