    Thanks for posting it. If you're not familiar with poker legislation in the U.S., then this article might be an eye-opener as to how the Vegas casinos are involved and the influence they have.

    It's a shame that all it takes is $$$$ to get shit done in politics. O well what can u do eh?? It is what it is.

    The PPA needs more $$$$ from stars to fight that Fair Play lobbying group. But the reality is the Fair Play group has more power and more resources on their side. The former FBI Director on their board WTF??? I guess that gig pays a lil better than the FBI job did!!!! In all actuality it's not a fair fight at all.

    If these casinos weren't owned by gigantic corporations then they wouldn't have sooooo much lobbying power. It's frustrating because it's like David vs Goliath.

    I seriously wouldn't care if somebody took this homeland security guy and the former FBI director and chopped their balls off.
