Good idea.

Maybe fantasy baseball and horse racing images, too?

A big thank you to Grasshopp3r for leading this effort so far. He wrote John and Grasshopp3r ask me to follow up. He also gave me the chip maker contacts. I followed up and had a great conversation, and even learned a lot about chip making and the vaious issues involved.

I think we have at least manufacturer willing to help in the fight for poker in all aspects. From a little checking if he's making a profit it's damn slim from what he quoted me. He had some great ideas for other ways to make an impact and offered to help with contacts in other fields.

Grasshopp3r a HOME RUN IMPO!!!

Give it up for him,

Maybe a good title/theme for the day's focus should be a paraphrase of Barney Frank's description of the UIGEA - The Dumbest Law Ever.

And maybe create a supporting manifesto as to all the reasons that is so.

For example, the regs will probably not be out by then. We can argue that the reason they are delayed is because it is nearly impossible to write working, practical guidelines for this law because it is so very flawed - The Dumbest Law Ever.

Well Grasshopp3r's great contact said doing the PPA logo on one side for future use, you could have any message on the other without running up and addition cost to change it. I think it might be possible to get more than one message on the back in the same run. Some protest messages and come commerative ones thanking those that show up???

We're talking casino quality chips!

Id carry the blue one. Mail the red one to Republican legislators as early retirement gifts.

They are on opposite sides of the chip, in order to show that poker is not a red or blue issue. Also, the edge will have their website printed on it, which is pretty slick.

Like I said in my e-mail I like "Prohibition HAS Failed" or "Failed" but I'll go forward with it.

A few more days and we bump into the great deal deadline, and the price I was quoted might not be firm to get them in time.

Again great job Grasshopp3r!

You can change the wording or tweak it with colors or whatever. The mock up is just for illustrative purposes to see how the words fit and so on. This is the time to change it if you want to do so. The more I look at it, the more I like it, especially the two colored chip sides effect.
