You are wrong if you think that if you and your 100,000 closest friends each do something that takes 30 seconds that it will make even the slightest difference.

Agreed, name one evidence in favor that PPA is not ineffective & incompetent. I think this problem is WAY TOO BIG for PPA, no offense, just fwiw if anyone wants to fix it, you gotta be strong enough to fight the US Dept of Justice. Just saying...

I used to work for a US Senator, and I guarantee you this type of action works. I can only tell you how crazy it got if the AARP, etc ever got pissed at something and got a phone call, email, letter campaign going. Motivated people can actually get things done if pressure is put on elected leaders. The problem is, it is hard to get a large group to get things going on a sustained basis.

But lazy people who naysay when they have no idea how the system works only prevent even more people from taking action.

Im from Brazil, and of course won't send the letter but, if online poker is really forbidden in US, the whole world will lose so c mon Obama and all of you from the government. Allow online poker.
I just can't understand why they are forbiding the online games, when live casinos are well seen

I believe you. I just think our interpretations of "actually get things done" are not the same. Also, to claim people who take 60 seconds to click a couple buttons are motivated is not accurate.

Done. Back to my whiskey. Gave it up a few months ago, but this day drove me back to it.
