Dear sasa,
Wow! What an amazing three days poker had in Washington D.C. last week. And the momentum is continuing to build.From Oct 22 – 24, nearly 100 PPA members including some of the top professional poker players converged on Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers and defended your right to play online poker. By all accounts the Washington Fly-In and policy conference was a huge success and we made a significant impression on Congress and the media.Many of you who were not able to come also made important contributions. More than 350 of you sent testimonials about the meaning of online poker in your own lives, and these were delivered to your Representatives by the Fly-In participants (see a selection of testimonials.)

online poker is very important part of my life.Both as a game and as a chalenge it keeps me fokused for a long period of time...i like to compete and texas holdem is a perfect form...therefore i would like it to be legal so i dont have the fears of whats gonna happen if the website cannot process my transactions due to a online gambling act... it is a lot of fun playing poker with people from all over the world. also most of online poker site-s let you chat with others so it is social Game too...dont forget its only a GAME ,so it shouldnt be forbiden...
Hi - I'd like to add my voice that I really enjoy online poker (not other online gambling, which is distinct). In Georgia, where live casino or home poker games are not allowed, this is particularly of value.
I would favor the US Government:
- legalizing online poker, so that sites could be run here
-that would provide jobs for Americans
-
it would also allow better regulation to reduce the participation of minors
-
and, instead of costing us taxpayers lots of money to try to prohibit offshore poker playing, we could be taxing legal poker winnings to bring in billions in tax revenues.
-
with our devastasting deficits, that would be highly desirable.
