This. And Done.

Also: In MA we had some anti-poker language in a recent casino bill and after a PPA Action alert the language was removed and some of the offices that were getting inundated with calls/emails told the PPA to "call off the dogs".

Sent a letter to Obama, my congressmen, and Governor McDonnell.

BTW EVERYONE who plays online should be doing this. I am saddened how short this thread is.

I sent the emails as well. I really hope this helps. I do feel that sending the emails can't hurt. I was not able to get any phone numbers to contact my officials. If anyone in the know could post these numbers, I think flooding their phone lines would be annoying for them and could be a positive result for us or maybe just getting to vent of some government tilt. How dare they take poker from us. I've seen this type of action before, but usually its a couple of thugs beating up on the little guy looking for their cut...you know every Saturday....DoyleD

Done. Easy process.

Like a previous poster, I also worked for a lawmaker albeit at the state level.

E-mails do help, but in my experience legislators pay MUCH MORE ATTENTION to actual snail mail letters and phone calls. Like the spam in your Yahoo inbox, e-mails are much easier to overlook than snail mail, and phone calls get the staff up-in-arms. When the staff is up in arms, trust me, the representative/senator hears about it.

Please visit this site:

http://capwiz.com/consumeraction/dbq/officials/

It will ask for your ZIP code. Once you enter that, links will appear to your Congressional Reps and Senators' pages, plus a link to the President's bio info. Click on the CONTACT tab for each one and make PHONE CALLS and send SNAIL MAIL. It will cost you a few minutes of your time and a few bucks in stamps. If that sounds like a lot, ask yourself how much you have frozen on FT and PS right now. Then go get some stamps.

There are also links to your state reps on that site. It wouldn't hurt to drop them a few lines as well. Mention "deficits" and "revenues without raising taxes" as much as possible. Or just use the text the PPA provided in the OP.

We may not win with a fight, but we definitely will not win if we do nothing.

I don't want to suggest anyone try anything illegal, but what are the chances that Anonymous or similar groups will start hacking/DDoS-ing state and federal government websites? Seems like the real way to get this sorted out and remedied quickly would be to cause as much non-violent misery as possible to TPTB.

Guys,
Did anybody think of e-mailing Stars or Ft this so maybe they can send links to all there US customers. This i think will get the attention real fast if everybody would reply!

The emails being sent out are to urge our representation to support HR 1174. In light of recent events, how likely is it that any of the sites that have had their execs indicted would be allowed to spread games in any capacity in the US in a regulated industry?

I don't think HR 1174 is a pathway to reenter the US market for Tilt, Stars, UB/AP.

Done. Thanks DOJ, gg.
