STOP WHINING!

Now that I have your attention...

I am a member of many poker forums. I read many poker blogs and articles. I'm a US citizen living in Indiana and the current UIGEA situation is very troubling to me.

*Note: UIGEA is short for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006

It's gotten people very upset, including myself. I'm sickened by our politicians and equally pissed off at the poker sites banning US players!

We have the right to be upset! However, if YOU are not signing petitions, joining PPA, spreading the word, writing and calling congressmen...then STOP WHINING!

If you don't have at least $20 to throw at the Poker Player's Alliance to protect your FREEDOM then, more than likely you are part of the problem, not the solution.

I joined the PPA about almost immediately after I found out poker was being threatened. What's $20? I've lost and won more than that in one hand plenty of times. If you don't have the $20 at least join the organization. Together we stand, divided we fall. Cliche but true. WE have power in numbers.

Non-US players should be supporting us too.

These freedoms they are trying to take away from us...these are the freedoms are forefathers fought and died for. It makes me sick. I don't think people really look at it like this, but they should.

This is our chance to come together. We now have something to fight for. No one is asking you to go overseas and fight in a war for our freedom. All we're asking is that you let your voice be heard.

Register to vote, join the PPA - do something!

Does anyone have any other things we can do? Let's make a big list and let's all do it! Who's in?

I agree! Our voice will only be heard if we make it so.
