A poker article worth a read

http://www.reason.com/news/show/126022.html

I just read this entire article about the status of "online gambling" in the U.S. The article is fairly academic and a great summary of what has happened in the U.S. It's tough to see how trivial our rights really are when a few members of Congress promoting a Bible Christian Conservative agenda can be. I can't stand seeing how people sit back and let this happen without even a letter to Congress. I've been a member of the PPA (Poker Players Alliance) for a while now and see how hard they have been fighting to get online poker the respect it deserves. Furthermore, there are so many Ohioans that love playing poker, but have to go to Canada or New York or West Virginia to do it legally.

I can't vote for a single Republican until this issue is resolved, but at the same time, few Democrats have done much for the cause.
