Not according to the email that I got tonight.....
Dear TTinCO,
You should be outraged.
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You should be outraged that the U.S. government is infringing on your personal rights and telling you how to use your hard-earned money. You should be outraged by the fact that a minority of legislators passed the UIGEA, which impacts your ability to play the great game of poker on the Internet. They did this by slipping the language into a completely unrelated port security bill that went to the floor just minutes before Congress took its break for the mid-term elections. The bill passed without any Congressional debate or opportunity for you to object. [/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Although many legal scholars would argue that online poker should not be affected by the UIGEA, we believe the law's lack of clarity can only harm the game unless an express exemption is granted under the UIGEA. You should be outraged that, in a rush to passage, poker did not receive the objective review it deserves, and did not already get this express exemption while lotteries, horse racing, and fantasy sports were all given free passes. We demand that Congress address this grievous oversight now. [/FONT]

Outrage is good, but outrage without action is useless. Stand up for your rights and help protect the great American game of poker by joining the PPA today. [/FONT]
