Subject: Good news for Poker Players
Good news, your congressional representative
Bill Foster was a key vote in support
of HR 6870, a bill to protect your right to
play the great game of poker at the time
and place of your choice. With the help
of Representative Foster, this common-sense
reform legislation passed the important Financial
Services Committee with a bipartisan
majority of 30-19. Its provisions
are simple. It will prevent federal bureaucrats from
banning "unlawful internet gambling" until
they can at least define what this phrase means.
It will also require an economic impact study
of the costs associated with this proposed,
sweeping prohibition. Please thank Representative
Foster for standing up for you and
millions of other poker enthusiasts.
* Call Representative Foster today at 630-406-1114,
and thank him for voting yes on HR 6870
* Tell him that you are a constituent, voter,
and proud poker player
* Tell him that you are pleased that he stood
up for your rights, and urge him
to continue to support you and
the millions of other fans of the great game
If Bill Foster is not your representative,
we apologize for the error in our records.
Please
contact your representative regarding this issue.
Finally, tell your poker playing friends the
good news, and let them know
that they too can become part of the solution

Thanks to Jim
Even if you don't like or play poker, you should join us in telling
the GOP to do
something useful like go find bin Laden and stop fighting $1 poker
games online.
Whatever happened to their "less government" mantra?
