Shipped. I am really glad I decided not to move and just play on lesser/shadier sites I suppose, though I know I'm being results oriented.

I guess in a way being from Washington I am doubled banned?

Well, complainer for sure..and MAer, maybe???

FT closed my acct cause i complain too much

Here you complain that PS was frozen for 2 minutes....
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...-works-654664/

And you lost 2K to a hooker.....and you are educating us on morals and how the sites are terrible that they may have broken laws to bring us internet poker. PLEASE, give me a break

They did close my account because I complain too much. Lucky for me I got 5 digits off that site before they did. I bet some of you would be glad to make that trade now.

I bought a lesson froma hooker for 2k, Its called "ho proof your house before you party." Well worth it in my book. I didnt say anything about "morality", that would be a laugher. i didnt say "the site was terrible" either, you must be making stuff up. I didnt say that they "may have broken laws" either what are you reading?....I did say that they did break laws.

The only thing I do understand from your post is that you need a break and a kit kat bar. Cant help you there.

What we need is the fairtax! maybe many of you have not heard of this for various reasons main stream leftist media ( Obama BLOWERS) will not give this the due coverage it deserves. With the Fair tax it will do away with the irs there will be a flat tax on goods and it will not only be great for online poker it will be great for everything we are in a budget crisis! There so many reason that i am mad at my country... but I dont have enough time or space. WE NEED A LEADER!! WE NEED REFORM NOW!!!! GO to http://www.fairtax.org/ for more information !!!!!

\\rant kinda
thanks,

If Obama is a socialist and the tax laws are unfair (at a max 25% rate bush tax cuts lowered from 35%), then what was Republican General Dwight D Eisenhower in the 50's? His max tax bracket was 90% and he was the last republican to balance the budget.

You cant spend 4 trillion on war (not getting osama) and 2 trillion in tax cuts to millionairres and not have an awful defecit. Thanks Bush. (in 2000 we had a 300B surplus and were paying off natl debt by year 2010.

enjoy your informational lacking lackey

For an action plan developed in conjunction w/2+2 members in the "Legislation Forum" *** Official "Time to Fight Back" Thread *** see this web site 2+2 member has with proposed actions and phone numbers for all members of Congress, the While House, and DOJ

2. Continue phoning through 5pm or until you have reached every number.

3. On the next day (Tuesday) starting at 9am, finish calling the list if you didn’t finish it the previous day, then start over and call them all again.

4. Continue in this manner every day of the week, through Friday, April 22nd at 5pm. Try to reach every number every day of the week.

Just an encouraging note from ESPN Article:

Alexander Ripps is a legal analyst for GamblingCompliance.com, a group that focuses on the independent analysis of gambling operations.

Ripps' assessment suggests Friday's events could act as a call to action. This marks the first time that American players have been left without what many consider to be secure options as online play goes. A resulting outcry could serve to inspire politicians to action.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker...ary&id=6372121

From reading the article, and the discussion revolving around Players Funds, A strong point can be made that not taking action and not making your voice heard, may allow the DOJ to feel they can just take your poker funds locked up in PS, FTP, AP without any significant opposition.

I worked in a Congressman's office and can confirm that these probably won't ever be seen by the Senator or Congressman.

Some staff assistant will see these and probably delete them, he/she may write down that a lot of people like poker or something like that.
