~Flops~

Got the same message from the PPA. Already filled out the e-mail to the transition commitee. Gonna call My State Representatives in the morning. What the hell is our country coming too? Next there gonna try to outlaw Apple Pie and Baseball

obama becomes president January 1st not the 19th

welcome to communism folks, america is a dying country, the government has too much power and not enuff sense. if they outlaw poker i will never pay taxes again!

lol, what next, they will try to make marijuana illegal....my bad, I forgot.

IEatDope, Obama is inaugurated on Jan. 20. Every elected president is inaugurated on Jan. 20. This is the day they officially become president. Not Jan. 1. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Im moving to canada.

This would be a disaster. Already sent a message to the transition commitee.

if you haven't been calling and emailing your congressmen and senators everyday don't complain when you can't play poker online...........

In a nutshell, the proposal requires participants (for example, banks and credit card companies) to come up with procedures for blocking illegal gambling transactions and provides suggestions for doing so. At the same time, however, some participants will be granted an exemption from blocking transactions if it is deemed that it is not practical for them. Those participants who are expressly not exempt are those who actually have illegal internet gambling companies as customers. The big issue here is that a bank or other financial institution might not know the business of their customers. Now they will be required to find out.

WHich means NOthing is going to happen in the Banning part of the sites. We will still be able to play. Just the banks will be more suspect of the player.

Did the email...made the call.

I really hope everyone in the US joins the PPA if you havent already.

They keep you abreast of all the news in a timely fashion, where you can actually do something before its too late.

Keep pestering your local senators, congressmen/women.

I love everyone who posts these, but members got alerts days ago, and today Bush approved the gaming ban. Its not final so flood these elected officials with calls and emails in hopes it will get voted down.

Just my .02

Should we pull our money off the sites while we still can or what?

what else is new...thank got these people are out

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

He has not gone yet.............................................

absolutely nothing will happen just continue to play as always and MAKE THEM WINS ..
