Is it me, or is it the same 2 or 3 people responding that they have tweeted, but it seems most US players want their rights to play poker and believe their personal freedom was taken away? I am also American living abroad and have been less than active lately on this front. Will try to refight the fight with Twitter. I am more cautious with my facebook, however.

The Greatest thing about Tuesday (yesterday-10/25-) was when Al D'amato said TWICE, that we (POKER) was the third Most watched sport on T.V., and last night was ESPN's telecast-of-The-World series of poker premier show! In hopes that when these panelists got home last night and were channel surfing they came across POKER ON TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
Good going Al, I say it was THE perfect day for US ALL-TUESDAY-
with ESPN following up with the Proof to help the statement.....("N.F.L., Nascar, POKER") statistics baby!!! Statistics... -

Thanks Rich, You know how real that hearing made it for me, and for everyone else now as well im sure. The whole fight for our rights, the time we all take in working together towards this, now really makes it all seem so much more Worth it to continue doing so- Until, they either break down from being tired of hearing about it, or just give in and return our online poker games to us in which we once enjoyed....Just look at the strides we made in 6 months from Black Friday April's shut down, -Now Oct, and were already on Capitol Hill, I'd say thats something in itself....And just look at how much more we all have to talk about now all of a sudden. And just think about how much more progress we have to look forward too. I'd say this is Pretty BIG, and it's only going to get better from here on out-no doubt!!!!!
