Just got this in the mail:
Dear loyal InterCasino player,
You are not alone in your enjoyment of the great game of poker. More than 70 million Americans play poker and roughly 23 million play the game online. Indeed, poker is an American tradition and a true game of skill as part of the heritage of the United States. From presidents and generals to Supreme Court justices and even members of Congress, poker has tested the intellect of Americans for nearly 150 years.
Remarkably, if some in Congress have their way, playing poker on the Internet may soon come to an end, forcing you to fold your hand. Legislation moving through Congress right now will seek to ban Americans from playing Internet poker by deputizing banks and Internet service providers to keep you from accessing poker Web sites.
You can take a stand to protect your right to play poker in the American way. We encourage you to contact your local Congressman today! You can help turn back Congress’ efforts to ban online poker.
Support the efforts of such organizations like the Poker Players Alliance, a growing group of more than 25,000 poker players, who are taking a stand against this legislation and working to promote and protect the game. The Poker Players Alliance is asking Congress to consider a more rational and realistic approach to online poker that would create a US regulated environment for people to play online — much like the US government has done for bricks-and-mortar casinos.
You can contact your state and local officials through sites such as http://www.congress.org. Help keep the tradition alive — both online and offline.
Sincerely,
Ryan Hartley
InterCasino Manager
