Come Rally for poker on the state house steps in Boston. 8:30 AM March
18th. Major hearing going on that day on the bill that will make
playing internet poker a felony in the state of Massachusetts. If you
care about your rights as a poker player and a citizen of this country,
we really need you to come and join us in a show of force. We will
have Free T shirts, coffee and doughnuts for all who attend. Please pm
me or email me at bryan@pokerplayersalliance.org and let me know if
your going to come.

this bill may need to pass. people don't really seem to care, if a state made it a felony i think it would wake a lot of people up.

UPDATE IT WILL BE ACROSS THE STREET AT THE CORNER OF BEACON ST AND
PARK, AT THE SHAW 54th MEMORIAL, DIRECTLY ACROSS BEACON ST FROM THE
STATE HOUSE!!

I'll be there with my wife and daughter. I figure a live civics lesson will be much more interesting/educational than anything she'll learn in Kindergarten that day. I live in Western Mass so its a 2 hour drive for me. I hope lots of other people get there!

This is so important to attend. I hope and pray that many will take a stand in MA!

Yes, it's great that folks in Mass will take a stand. I encourage everyone to go. Don't let them do what they did to poker players in Washington state.

Sounds like Patrick's casino proposal is getting shot down today. Has everybody been following the news on this?
Personally, I would love to see legalized casino gambling in MA. After all, this is a suppossedly free country, right?
That said, if legalized casino gambling comes at the cost of criminilizing online play, I'm glad to see Patrick's bill fail!!!
Does anybody know the status of Barney Frank's attempt to pass a federal bill to legalize/regulate online gaming? This would probably the greatest thing that could ever happen to online play.

As an update, this bill was ultimately voted down.
Great work by John Pappas and the PPA of helping to strike this awful piece of legislation down.
