Protest In Washington Dc For Our Gaming Rights

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROTEST in Washington:
We are going to Washington to protest the bill to stop online gaming. Everyone that can possibly go needs to show up and fight for your rights. If we let it go, then we lose. The bill is supposed to be signed by Bush on Friday the 13th. So it is important to be in Washington to start the protest on Monday. I am going on Sunday, to start the protest on Monday, which is Columbus Day and even better because we will get more media coverage.
Anyone that would like to go I urge you to do so. This can't be stressed enough how important it is.
If we don't fight for our rights and our freedom we lose!!!
If you would like more info or need to call to find out where to meet, use the info below.

Great just what we need, support for the land based

casinos to fill the demand when they boot everybody else

out.

Sure, I give him/her credit for standing up in what they believe in, but this will unfortunately, be a total waste of time. Did Bush not go to war in Iraq when hundreds of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Washington ?

Do you really think a couple of thousand gambling protestors will even make the news ???

I am as bitterly frustrated and disappointed as most of you all are, but it's time to wake up and smell the coffee ! When that bill is signed, it is the deathknell for us affiliates. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I'm here on CAP every hour on the hour for therapy at this point, because like many of you, I am having trouble coping with this very grave and unfortunate situation. I knew this day was coming, but still the reality of it hitting, hasn't made it any easier.

I wonder where all the pro poker players are in this? They could mobilize large crowds if they wanted to. They could get on any TV Program or talkshow. Apparently they are content with earning their money at real tables in the future. What a miserable bunch of appeasers.

They may wait until the online operations go bust and then

the spin may be ... hey this is the land of the free

remember ... oh year right ... let freedom reign ! and

legalize the land based casinos to go in for the killing.

I posted this so you can alert your players.

If you want to stomp it out, start your own thread.

" My " players won't be mine no longer.



Thanks Dom ... I know you always mean well.

Ok Aleph.

This is supposed to aid the protesters.

It needs to be publicized ad widely as we can manage.

This really is funny, everyone has sat on the ass the last 4-5 years and now that a bill is passed they want to stand up and fight. Just like all the viral crap, why wasnt that done long ago? You cant wait until you've been shot full of holes to put on a protective vest; by then its over.

Plenty of us had a very good feeling this would be the year, but what did we do? We sat around and did nothing; we have no one to blame but ourselves for not banding together long ago.
