I have a bad gut feeling...

[I_C_ALL]

The money "I gave them" came out of a Party Poker bonus that I had to "voluntarily" give the PPA in order to get my bonus. I even got a shirt for my "donation" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] My opinion, they've done as much as I've given....

BTW, nothing against people that studder, but I wouldn't have them as my spokesperson. The guys at work always laugh at me when this Bolcerek guy gets on TV. He's terrible.

I definitely agree we need an organized voice that knows what he/she is doing with this. Maybe a celebrity figure and Berg or Mr. K.... I'd really donate to that (Even though it may be too late)

I'm Swedish and right now I'm in Florida so cant either play Party Poker which used to be my favourite site.

Am I correct to assume that the address listed on your Party account in your Swedish address? If so, that would seem to confirm that Party is in fact blocking play from IP addresses withing the US even from non-US registered accounts, right?

Thanks,

I agree a march would be great. I would like to see it in Iowa or Tennesee (home states of Leach And Frist) put some focus on thse pr..ks maybe cost them a few votes. Washington or Vegas wouldn't draw as much attention as a more obscure place would. Needs to be done before this cause fades out of media and we become complacent about this issue. At first I was shocked, now I am pissed lets do it.

I don't know about this.

First I really don't think we could get enough people.

And second, unfortunately, I don't think that the group that would show up would be the faces that we want out there that will sway american/congressman votes. I see a lot of 18-24 yr old students making the trip and not enough older players taking time off to fly/drive to DC. (Are there any casinos near by? Maybe they could hold a tourney to give players an incentive to go to DC)

Also I think the best thing to show the public is that congress has taken away a hobby of 20 million people, and not $100K opportunity from an 18 year old. It feeds right into their "addiction starts at a young age" concerns.

I think the petitions or something else that will show a strength in numbers would be a better idea. And with all the intelligence that the online community has I'm sure there are some better ideas floating out there.

The nearest casinos are in Atlantic City, over 3 hours from DC.

I think a march is a good idea. It has to be in DC. It can't be in Iowa or Tennessee as has been suggested. Whoever heard of marching on Des Moines? (especially for a national issue)

Religous right way stronger than all the poker players put together

In 2006, marches are a waste of time. The only way to get your point across is to form a PAC and stuff their campaign coffers. Then vote as a block in massive numbers for candidates that support your view.

[BarbarianX]

I'd love the protest marsch but tp be honest, I think you're right. Find out what candidates who support online poker and spread the word....
