| Pesidential Hopeful supports Online Poker This just in from the PPA (Poker Players Alliance): Presidential Candidate Takes a Stand in Support of Poker Rights In the past week the poker community has had a prominent Congressman introduce legislation to regulate poker and a few days ago a former two-term Governor now presidential candidate has issued a statement in support of poker player's rights. We have told you about Gary Johnson before, he is the former popular Governor of New Mexico and he is an ardent opponent of the UIGEA and a proponent of your freedom to play online poker. Here is what Governor Johnson said this week: Gary Johnson is the former two-term Governor of New Mexico, a Republican candidate for President, and a long-time defender of personal freedom.You can voice your support for poker by going to www.GaryJohnson2012.com/poker. Governor Johnson is also taking to the Click here to see what he is saying. Finally, we are pleased to announce that Governor Johnson will be at the World Series of Poker on July 8th and available to meet poker players and the media at the PPA Booth. If you are in Las Vegas, we encourage you to stop by the PPA Booth (right outside the Brasilia Poker Room) between 1pm and 3pm to meet Gary Johnson in person. |

| Can't Wait For His Debating The Issue In Presidential Campaign Debates I think we will get some "good press and advancement of our POKER ISSUE" when he is going to be PRO POKER in the upcoming debates? I think his straight-forward and common-sense stance on poker can only help our cause ... if he can get the funding, name recognition, backing and the interest of our citizens, he may well get there, but it is a major up-hill battle.

On Gary Johnson, I posted about him a while ago, thinking he may be pro poker, but he never answered my email. |

| Though I have to give credit to anybody who is willing to make any sort of definitive stand on ANYTHING while trying to get a presidential campaign of the ground... something tells me he won't be at the primaries. I have been surprised numerous times but I can say this: If he is, it won't be because he supports regulated online poker. I am glad to see it getting press though. That is always awesome! |

| re: Pesidential Hopeful supports Online Poker Gary Johnson is an incredible example of an American patriot which is exactly why he will never get the nomination to run against Obama in 2012. Between this guy and Ron Paul the two of them could restore America to the great country it once was, but the media will never allow them to be in the public eye long enough to figure it out. |
