Get off your asses!!!

Garfield by Jim Davis

A lot of people think of poker as nothing but mindless gambling and a waste of productive time and money. A lot of people are way wrong! Mathematical experts have done extensive studies proving that poker is a mind sport and game of skill just like chess and bridge. Judges in several U.S. States have ruled poker is a game of skill.

So the why does the DOJ insist that the UIGEA applies to poker? Because they are misinformed by politicians who are out for the interest of the all powerful and all contributing brick and mortar casino industry who fear online poker will cost them revenue. They are also misinformed by others like the right wing politicians who insist on not accepting poker is a game of skill and want to legislate morals and by state Attorney Generals like Preet Bharara in New York.

Poker is the most difficult game I've ever tried to master. Good players spend hours studying and reviewing and working on their game just like chess players and golfers do. It's time to put an end to this silly and senseless prohibition of poker!

Poker is a game of skill and a game which many Americans not only enjoy playing for casual entertainment but for many it is (was) their full time well paying job. Legislation and regulation of online poker will create thousands of jobs and bring in billions in federal and state tax revenue.

While I honestly wish we could just have legal unregulated poker instead of having the government interference it's just not going to happen so supporting H.R. 2366 now is the next best thing!

What can you do to help?

Write or email your senators and representative and ask them to support H.R. 2366. The Poker Players Alliance makes the job easy by having a pre written letter ready to send. All you have to do is take 2 minutes and click a couple of buttons! Click here to send the letters!

Take less than one minute to do the daily actions on 2p2! Click here!

Sign the poker petition at We the People: Click here!

Call your senators and congressman and ask them to support H.R. 2366!

Stop making silly excuses not to do these things! The three top things literally take under 5 minutes a day! Squeaky wheels get the oil! The more voices we have speaking the more likely we are to be listened to.
