Pass HR2366. Poker is a player vs player skill game, not some random degenerate chance game like slots or the lottery.

URGENT: We need to respond to this fast and furiously. There are eight responses so far and they are all against gaming.

http://www.facebook.com/mary.b.mack#...06805109392606

The following is from the history memo for the hearing:

IV. Issues for Discussion
 How effective is current enforcement of online intrastate gaming?
 What, if any, forms of interstate online gaming should Congress consider allowing?
 What consumer protections exist for online gaming?
 How would any easing of legal restrictions on Internet gaming affect consumers and other stakeholders?

We need to frame our responses to her on Facebook appropriately, given the issues they will be covering.

(I can't believe this was posted on Facebook 12 hours ago and we didn't catch it.)

LastLife, any way you can add the AGA twitter accounts to these lists? They need to hear from us too.

If someone wants to make a list of twitter accounts, I can make it another action. Do like AGA, COPA, tribes, big casinos and racetracks, etc.

EASY thing to do.

For thousands of jobs and billions in revenues, include licensing and regulating U.S. online poker in the deficit reduction plan.
