This is part of a greater effort being organized by the Poker Players Alliance. They are providing an 800 number tomorrow between 9 AM and 5:30 PM EST. It is (800) 289-1136. If you wish to call direct and not go through their network call (202) 224-3121.

I urge all site owners to send this out to all of their players. Please post this on as many forums, chat rooms, and blogs as possible.

Thank you

- Your friends and family while they may not call also vote in their state and are with you on this.
- Online gambling is a recreational hobby enjoyed by millions of Americans and adults should be free to spend their entertainment dollars as they see fit without interference from the government.
- If the Senate must bring up some legislation it should be for regulation, not prohibition.
- The House legislation has nothing to do with morals or protecting the consumer, it’s just about protecting some forms of gambling over other from competition.
- Your Senator should not to vote for any anti-online gambling legislation!
