Thank you for going to Washington DC to lobby for a much needed bill! If our House is truly “representative” then they will pass this bill for the myriad of reasons you presented. I appreciate your efforts as well as Jan’s and your brother’s to personalize and present the facts to those on the Hill.

Thanks Linda, Jan, and Rich for being such a great representatives of poker players. There couldnt’ve been a better group to stand up for us. I’m sure they were duly impressed. I loved the points you expressed, including the facts, plus hitting close to home with ‘land of the free’. I know lots of people who are just not comfortable playing in a casino but love the game. Online is their only avenue for playing. People are going to play regardless and need to be protected.

Thank you Linda, Jan, and Rich for all you are doing to try to get online poker legalized. I live in Texas where live poker is against the law. And since I don’t want to go to the “illegal underground card rooms” online poker is my only option. Hopefully the work of you and the PPA will make online poker legal. The facts you stated were fabulous. I had no idea $3.3 billion in tax money could be raised annualy!

You are a lobbyist! And we thank you for what you do for the poker industry. It is important to us “Texans” that there are people like you. You are there educating the public and our government that poker is a game of skill and that online poker can be a viable industry in the US. Washington D.C. is a tough arena. Glad you made headway.

A tip of the hat to you Linda and all who took the time to fly to Washington on behalf of us Poker Players. Being in my late Seventies, it becomes very difficult to travel to a Casino, although we have three with-in fifty miles of my home, Being a retiree from the poker industry in Las Vegas, I follow and read all posted material concerning the status of online poker. Thanks again for a job well done. William W. Grey Fresno, Ca.

Thanks to you Linda and Jan for representing us in Washington DC. I know if anyone can sway these guys it’s you two. I agree that TV is skewing our image a bit. Our representatives need a good picture of the average, sit at home poker player. I spend a whole lot less at poker than I would going to baseball or football games and those are National pass times.

Keep at it. Never give up.
