It was 5 years to the day that those bastards tried to steal our rights to play poker by deceptive measures. A whole timeline of events have transpired against us since then, but UIGEA is the primary cause of all of our problems. I remember sitting in my dorm room as a freshman in college stunned and angry. I have the same feeling sitting in my gut 5 years later.


This isn't some advocacy thing, I just want to tell Bill Frist and Jon Kyl how we feel about them five years later....

Retweet if you are as mad as I am after all these years.

10/12/2006. Never forget.

Tell Senator Kyl how you feel HERE if standing up for the game is worth more than 5 seconds of your time.

It's been a pretty damn good try so far.
