Posted at September 18, 2006, 9:53 pm: Update 9-29-06 The U.S. Congress is Trying to Ban Online Poker TODAY!!! (see my latest post below) THIS IS NOT A TEST -- Call Your Senator Now 9-22-06 This bill is gaining steam again. Call one the two members of Congress that are ranking members on the Armed Services Committee. Also call your own senators and tell that you are opposed to this bill. For their numbers see below. Senator John W. Warner Web Site: warner.senate.gov Washington Office: SR-225 Washington, D.C. 20510-4601 Phone: (202) 224-2023 Fax: (202) 224-6295 Senator Carl Levin Web Site: levin.senate.gov Washington Office: SR-269 Washington, D.C. 20510-2202 Phone: (202) 224-6221 Fax: (202) 224-1388 See below for things to say when you are on the phone. ------------------------------------------------ As you may or may not know, the US Senate may be introducing internet gambling legislation during this session (it has already passed the House of Reps.) Recently, Senate leaders have been attempting to attach internet gambling legislation to the Defense Department authorization bill. Here is a link to the story.... http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2446428 At the bottom half of this post is a list of conferees on the Department of Defense Authorization Conference Report, the bill to which Sen. Frist is attempting to attach internet gambling langauge. The list is organized by state. If you see your Representative or Senator on this list, please call his office ASAP to voice your concern against this bill. If this bill is passed it may become difficult or impossible to play internet poker in the United States. Members of the respective Armed Services Committees, who are appararently opposed to Frist's tactics, are especially important to contact and are designated with /AS (see list of members below). Here is a list of numbers for Senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm House of Representitives: http://clerk.house.gov/members/mcapdir.html Tell whoever that you speak to that you are opposed to this bill, especially with it being attached to a totally unrelated bill without any public debate or discussion. Congress should instead work to tax and regulate gambling over the Internet, as it does other forms of gambling like lotteries and horse racing. For more information (including items to mention when you make your call), you can visit this link: http://www.pokerplayersalliance.org/ Here's some other things that could/should be said during your phone conversation... Stolen from 2+2 (thanks to depokerstar for the suggestion) A couple of people have asked me what message to deliver to a Senator or represenative that you might be calling. After thinking about it some, this is what I have come up with - I am a {Republican/Democratic} voter in your {state/district}. (I would only mention your party affiliation if it corresponds with that of the congressperson. If you are a veteran or reservist, or have a son/daughter/father/brother who serves in the military, I might also mention that.) - I oppose Senator Frist's effort to attach provisions on internet gambling to the Department of Defense Authorization bill. - Internet gambling is a complex issue that deserves to be debated before the full light of day in the Senate. - It is particularly inappropriate to attach extraneous language to a defense bill, where it jeopardizes pay raises for our troops in a time of war. - Congress should instead work to tax and regulate gambling over the Internet, as it does other forms of gambling like lotteries and horse racing.
