I would suggest removing the word "it" from the title of this thread.

I second that motion.

Totally agree with lovetogamble, get everyone in your area, and tell them how the government works to sneak laws under needed laws/bills. We have the greatest medium to date to transmit information to everyone we know. The Internet!, while the government is still trying to understand what "the internets" and it's tubes lead to. But then you might then who do I vote for? Well for me, it's not just about voting independent, I mean hell look at Lieberman, he's going independent. I say vote Libertarian!

But seriously it takes a little work to research who's running in your area and who is right for you. Primaries are very important. As are, local elections.

Good luck to all.

Here is respected gaming lawyer I. Nelson Rose's take on the new legislation - rather than posting it here as I expect the contents to change periodically, here is a link:

I Nelson Rose Analysis

Basically, he has come to many of the same conclusions I have earlier in this thread, with the primary exception being that he feels affiliates could be affected under the theory of "aiding and abetting".

He also believes poker is covered by the "game subject to chance" definition in 5362.

I will try to obtain further analyses from other prominent lawyers in the industry, such as Professor Joe Kelly.

OK, everybody (including me) calm down.

Geeze Cipher...you make me look like freakin' Pollyanna.

They have 9 months to make the restrictions stick. If they don't have the proper checks and balances in place, this sucker goes by the wayside, anyway.
Besides....9 months is plenty of time for a court challenge or two..not to mention the fact that the next Congress is going to look much different. That which has been done, may find itself undone.

Damn! I just made myself feel better. There goes my whole personality.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

ROFLMAO!

Oh yes...this is really who we need for President! Why don't we just run Mickey Mouse too?

Hey now - Leave Mickey alone... LMAO!

Just FYI - I'm not the only nutty person to think this:

LOL!
