What is the best way to bitch to the politicians?

e-mail, phone?

I'd avoid email since it's easily avoided. Same with the phone. We need to organize as players and SERIOUSLY do something about this in EVERY state and in the Federal forum. I've voiced this in several other threads. This new development in IN may be what it takes.

I'm talking about petitions, public hearings, etc. And I don't mean just normal joe-shmoe players; I want authors from this publishing company to be a part of it since they are known as the "experts" in our field.

Mason Malmuth, David Sklansky, Ed Miller, Dan Harrington, Ray Zee, Ray B., Alan Schoonmaker, John Feeney, Lynne Loomis, Sylevester Suzuki, Dan Paymar, Donna Harris, and anyone else that I've forgotten and/or should be included in this list: HELP US CHANGE THE MIND OF THE GOVERNMENT! It is in YOUR best interest if you desire the "POKER MARKET" to remain as thriving as it is right now. THINK LONG TERM like you teach us to!

The part of this law that pertains to individual gamblers has been on the books since the late 1970s. The new part only applies to operators.

I had to laugh at this. I follow the law so I guess it's a bit more important to me than others who do not follow the law. So yes, when I found out it was illegal for me to play in my state and that I would have to move to KY or the D.C., I immediately stopped playing. So of course I'd be a little bit passionate in legalizing it.

Luck play in whole or IN PART. Poker's got some luck. It's covered.

Those are max penalities and are very extreme. Most likely, it sounds like when you get caught drinking underage.

Court appearance, diversion, court costs, counseling, next.

Anyone else think Big Brother is becoming too intrusive to our everyday lives? This is why I became a Libertarian a couple of years ago. Check out the Libertarian viewpoints by clicking here.
