So is this something that might actually have an effect somehow?

If it is, definitely crosspost this as well everywhere, make it sticky etc...

(Can non-US citizens vote as well?

)

The most popular initiative on the entire website (out of thousands) is +10k (1000 votes).

I don't see why we couldn't get 1000 people to vote up on this thing and make it the most popular initiative....At that point someone with power will probably at least look at it.

Cool, I voted up. I'll post it to a bunch of others and my Facebook/Myspace tonight.

Maybe we can get this stickied or spread around or something.

I'm thinking we should post this link in every Reg thread and every monthly *** thread

I don't wanna spam them all, perhaps a moderator could give the AoK on this

Who was this?

From the "comments" section:

It would be madness for the Obama administration to ignore this issue. Thanks to the current legal environment, hundreds of thousands of Americans play on offshore, unregulated sites, some of which have clearly mistreated or even cheated their players. Let's bring online poker back into the light.

There may also be some good opportunities for the government to take maney here, and with the deficit forecast looking like it is, any new revenue stream should be considered.

The f do.
