Do Not Ban On-Line Poker!

Let's get active in trying to CHANGE government's mind about on-line poker and hopefully, eventually poker establishments in NC.... The organization that is taking the bull by the horns and leading the way with this process is the Poker Players Alliance (http://www.pokerplayersalliance.org/index.html) and on this site, you'll find all sorts of information on how, when, who, etc.,

In addition, there are sample letters for you to use in communicating with the powers that be to let them know that the US House voted against the will of the people when they passed H.R. 4411 and that we don't want any government officials to make this same mistake going forward. Right now the people in government who we can have the most impact on are the US Senators who will be the next ones faced with this vote. In NC, they are Senator Elizabeth Dole and Senator Richard Burr. In addition to the phone call that is recommended by the PPA in the earlier post on this site, you may also send letters and emails. Here are the websites for the two Senators listed above and you can cut & paste the sample letters from the PPA site into the email space at the Senators' website. For Elizabeth Dole, the website is http://dole.senate.gov/ and for Richard Burr, the website is http://burr.senate.gov/

Please help us with this TODAY! If you enjoy poker, you should take the 10-15 minutes necessary to make the phone call and follow it up with emails to both Senators.

Do it Now!
