Dear*Tyler:
*
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for Internet poker.* I appreciate knowing your views, and apologize for the delay in my response.
*
On February 4, 2015, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) introduced the "Restoration of America's Wire Act" (H.R. 707), which would update the Wire Act to cover a broad range of Internet gambling.* The bill would thus return the statute to the interpretation given to it by the Department of Justice prior to 2011.* As you may know, I*am a*cosponsor of legislation (S. 1668) in the Senate.
*
I understand that you support the legalization of Internet poker.* I am afraid that this is an issue on which we must agree to disagree.* The dangers of Internet gambling have long been an area of concern for the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.* I share their view that Internet gambling is too easily accessible to minors; subject to fraud, money laundering, and criminal misuse; and too easily used as a tool to evade state gambling laws.
*
The "Restoration of America's Wire Act" has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.* Please know that while we may not agree on the legalization of Internet gambling, it is helpful for me to hear your perspective on this issue.* I respect your opinion, and will keep it in mind should the "Restoration of America's Wire Act" come before me in the Senate.
*
Once again, thank you for writing.** I hope you will continue to be in touch on issues that matter to you.* Should you have any additional comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841.

Sincerely yours,


**Dianne Feinstein
*********United States Senator

Well the point is... I wrote a senator about poker and she actually wrote back. She took a whole 30 to 90 mins of her day to type that email to me.

Really? Do you really think so? Really?

I hate to rain on your ego parade, but I bet she has sent exactly the same letter to anyone that has emailed her about internet poker. Exactly the same. Sorry.

I doubt Ms. Feinstein spent any of her precious time to actually pen that email herself, and I'm not surprised to see that she has taken the "That's nice that you feel that way, but actually, I'm gonna go ahead and do what I think is better for you" stance. Very disappointed, Ms. Feinstein!

That is a form letter sent by an assistant - she never read your email, much less responded to it.

Well, the important thing is that this has been Senator Feinstein's position for years and she has been very consistent (I've recieved a bunch of these form replies from her office over the years). As I'm not a one issue voter this doesn't bother me.

Cheers!

Flooding these Congressman and woman with emails is not the answer. Rallying the constituents in their to vote against them. If your listeners of conservative radio, especially Michael Savage, you will know exactly how corrupt this woman is..it should not be difficult to get her out of office. I can't stand to hear this lady speak, she is so ridiculous and I agree with the others that she had a staffer reply to your email, although her true personality comes shining through. If she was truly worried about crime, she would not be pro open borders and such a strident supporter of PLanned Parenthood...that's just to give two examples.

Lot of haters. I think it's great you got a response. It's funny that they don't mind HBO spewing filth after hours and internet porn free for the viewing.

A minor would actually have to obtain a credit card, find a site for US players, and make the deposit.

It should be an issue for the parent to deal with. It's so sad that Washington feels the right to parent our children for us. Not surprising, but sad nonetheless.

I'm actually pissed after reading the response. I'd like to get ahold of her ear for a few minutes and let her hold it.:mad:

Excellent point. I enjoy Savage, and most of the hosts on there have pretty much the same views, at least on the bigger issues. Refreshing to listen to people who have something other than power in mind.
