That's the info of the guy who wrote the article (it was posted at the end of the article, so I doubt that he minds it's out there mods). I wanted to call him and let him know about this thread + facebook + the reaction of the poker playing community. Some how try to generate a 2nd bad publicity article for her.
I fear though that if I call, I'll go off the rail and explode. Being forced to move because of the law was a worse experience for me then black friday. I was forced to leave a home that I loved, friends that I was close to, and a neighborhood that I grew so attached to that I called my next door neighbors by "grandparents" (there was no actual family relation, they were just old and awesome and helped me out all the time).
She brought so many tears to my mothers eyes...sleepless nights to myself, and stress to my wife, that I can't think of a better person for this to happen to.
I hope she's doesn't win in 2014 if that's when she's forced to run next time. I know I'm going to be donating money to her competitor in 2014. I hope others do the same. Maybe we can all donate, announce our donation, and keep a tally letting her know how much poker players donated against her.
I'm in for the max I can donate by law (off to google to find the dollar amount). My wife is also.
