"No bill will impress everybody, but I think it's a good bill and something poker players should rally behind," Pappas said. "It's going to give adult Americans the right to play poker on licensed and regulated sites, and that's the bottom line. That's what's important."

i have to admit this quote makes me a little uncomfortable as to the contents of the bill. maybe it's just semantics but him saying "SHOULD get behind" instead of "WOULD get behind" after prefacing it the way he did is just, shrug

nonetheless i am giving my full support to this bill sight unseen

Re: TOMORROW!

FYI, Rep. Steve Cohen of TN is also co-sponsoring a bill to legalize pot. I know we don't necessarily want to lump poker and marijuana together, but thought this crowd might be interested in knowing this.
