    Come on guys, get off your lazy grinding asses today and make a call or send an email to your State Rep who is attending about HR 2267 being voted on tomorrow. We as poker players are too lazy in this matter and really need to take advantage of these opportunities to continue our lifestyle. You can call and send the email without moving away from your screen, and it really does help. Below are the links, lets step up for once and make our voices heard in the least...its takes all of 30 seconds.

    I've sent many emails, made several phone calls over the years and
    even joined the PPA. I think the main reason there seems to be less
    enthusiasm regarding protecting our rights as poker players lately is
    because after supporting many organizations, groups and potential
    bills that might help us, it seems like we're no better off than we were
    years ago.

    I have no problem taking a few minutes out of my boring life to send
    an email to support any bill that might actually help all poker players,
    but it seems that every few months we hear about the "next one" being
    the one that will right the wrongs and in the end we get sent back to
    square one. I think the majority feel like what's going to happen, right
    or wrong is going to take place and they lose interest.
    Just my opinion.

    I have called and e-mailed Dennis Moore before and have just done so again, he is poker-friendly and can be counted on for support.

    Ok guys, its looks like HR 2267 markup is going to be pushed back till tommorow...........one more day it now gives us to call your appointed committee member and let them know how you want them to vote on this.........lets get it done, 30 seconds is all it takes

    Best case scenario for tomorrow it seems is that that we pass through markup and add caveats like (loss limit) etc... that gain support for our bill, while not hurting our cause.

    Any word on what happened with this today?


    Edit: Just found this, so n/m
     

    A planned committee hearing in Congress to consider a bill that would legalize and regulate online poker and gambling in the United States was pushed back to Wednesday.
