America Speaks Out

Most online poker players know that it was the Republican Party that signed the UIGEA into law in October of 06, thereby making it harder to fund our games of choice. It also lead to our troubles of withdrawing winnings, and in some cases a lot of the poker rooms even banning the American Poker Player. The UIGEA stripped the American Player of our freedoms to make our own choices.

Some may even recall that it was the Republican Party that included a prohibition on Internet gaming in its 2008 policy platform! We must remind the GOP leadership that millions of Americans want them to support our poker rights and not continue with these misguided prohibitions.

Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives have asked the American people to submit ideas through a new website on ways to keep our freedoms here in this great country of ours.

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer has posted a comment on AmericaSpeakingOut.com calling on Congress to ensure poker players freedoms by licensing and regulating online poker. We need everyone's help, so vote for Greg's comment and help it become one of the top – if not the top – issue on AmericaSpeakingOut.com. It just takes a few minutes.

I'm not really an America but i like the way you protect your own interest in playing casino games. Even i do love playing most of all online casino games, and it is good when you play moderate and knowledgeable enough. And you speak well not just for your sake but for most of those who also care about it.
