Take Jon Kyl Down Now

**Superior** · 10th October 2006, 09:22 PM

So, I went and made a nice big contribution to the Jim Pederson campaign in Arizona today because I want to see that asshat Jon Kyl be the first casualty of this bill (this was his bill, not Frist's). I don't know hardly anything about Jim Pederson, so I don't have an opinion of him except that he is Kyl's opponent.

I got a call back from Jake at the Pederson office and he asked what my motivation was. I explained about the gambling bill and we talked about how to bring this up in a campaign. We both agreed it is tricky to come out pro-gambling, but he assured me that Pederson doesn't give a shit what people do with their own money in their leisure time. There may be the possibility for Pederson to frame this as a Freedom of Choice issue in the very Libertarian state of Arizona. They are going to talk about it internally. If we can get more people on board to show support, they may push it to the front.

He is only behind Kyl by 6 points right now. They could win this thing. If Kyl loses and it's because of poker and casino players or affiliates, that could send a serious message to these idiots that messing with our rights will not be tolerated. Remember, Frist pushed through Jon Kyl's bill. This guy needs to be taken out.

They need some cash to fight this guy. If you can donate $25 or whatever, go for it. Kyl needs to go. He has been a thorn in the side of this industry for too long.

Wow, I live in Arizona. Yeah I dont like klyle.

Now my old High school history teacher Michelle is running for congress.
He was mayor of Tempe at the time I had him as a teacher. I did not like his views then, and he did not like mine, and I got a barley passing grade, although I did a LOT of hard work in that class, I just didnt AGREE with him. Heres one vote he wont get! LOL

quite a few indian casinos in Arizona.....i suspect they all send lots of "contributions" to Kyl

No doubt!

I dont know though. They were never happy here to have Arizona take a piece of the pie. I remember when Arizona tried to take their slot machiens away for not paying thier tax, and a baracade and protest was set up.

At last, I can finally make my very first post...I have been reading a lot of everyone's posts and have kept silent until now....I have been visiting this
website for years and found it to be the most informative...Thank you, members for all the insight that you have taken the time to provide...

Its a shame that this thread died off. When I first read it, I thought a lot of players would get behind the campaign for Pederson just to show how much online players have been aggravated by one politician's (Kyl's) crusade. Would'nt it have made a statement to those-self serving representatives if they were to see Kyl fall in his upcoming election bid if it were known that 1 dollar from each of those 25 million poker players was donated to the Pedersen campaign ?...

P.S. I am not pro-Pedersen either

I finally got around to making a generous contribution to the Pederson campaign. I also let him know what motivated my contribution and how he would do well to appeal to the many other Americans upset over this issue in the closing weeks of his campaign.

Hopefully we get this thread reinvigorated...

Kudos, sdaddy!

The satisfaction of seeing Kyl unseated would be huge after all these years of his political manouevring.

Its good to hear some reaction back here....As soon as I can get my money back from my frozen account from 32red, I'm sending it off to the Pederson campaign...If Kyl goes down in flames, at least I'll feel vindicated that he'll know that my dwindeling right to pursue my freedom has extinguished his right to pursue political aspirations.....I have to go lay down now. I'm still reeling from the Neteller stand (or lack of it).
