Im not a pro but i love online poker and feel we should all have the right to play it freely and responsibly. But ill be god-damned if i vote for someone only because they will defend that right. There are a few other rights that i would rather have defended, mostly the first ten amendments of the constitution.

My thoughts on this have limits. If there were a candidate who were set out to destroy the principles that this country were founded upon, such as the first ten amendments of the constitution, I'm sure I would re-think my position. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Of course, please understand that our opponents are generally not suitable to represent us, because if they are willing to take our rights away, they are going to fail significantly on other issues as well. Look at Kyl, Goodlatte, and Frist. This isn't the forum to attack their other policies, but needless to say, they are not who we want representing us.

This issue hits home for me, and I won't apologize for making it a priority. Those in power need to understand we are willing to fight, and fight hard for our rights. Most importantly our opponents need to understand that their position on this will cost them votes.

Mellow out and step off your high horse some. Why on Earth wouldn't a professional online poker player have online poker as their number 1 or 2 voting issue? At the end of the day what matters to most people is being able to keep paying the bills and putting food on the table (if you say otherwise youre lying). BTW, this IS a huge issue, the government is stepping on our rights and wasting valuable money and time and also making it even harder for banks to operate when they're already struggling. Oh, and this is a poker forum not a political debate forum.

I agree with you ape, i understand why online poker pros would have this VERY high on their voting priorities. Im not a pro, just a purely recreational player and a pretty bad one at that. I guess im just coming from a perspective that understands how fragile our country is right now. Everyone is struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table. While i dont believe that online poker should be the #1 legislative priority of Congress i understand why online pros like you and jennifear feel it should. But do you understand that if any of us vote for someone solely on their stance on this issue then we all could be in trouble. Anyone who knows anything about politics knows that Barney Frank is one of the most unethical and irresponsible members of the house. Dont take my word for it, just look it up. He's being investigated for a number of issues. Not to mention his role in our banks meltdowns. So if we support people and policies that may solve one issue on our life, let it be known we are opening the door to many others. All you online pro's who feel strongly about this issue should really take a good look at the policy makers on both sides of this struggle. No disrespect to you, jennifear, or any other person who disagrees.

this thread was informative until the whole political discussion broke out, now i just feel like i'm watching a few ppl yell over each other on fox news.

Thanks for replying to my question regarding credit unions.

So you'd take being unemployed and broke as long as you have your ten amendments defended? lol. What if it meant taking care of a family vs. your "rights." Oh, you're talking about guns, touche.

And why bring religion into the argument?
