Fight for Poker Rights -- Black Friday Edition: April 20, 2011

Rich "TheEngineer" Muny, PPA Board Member and Kentucky State Director, discussed the impact of "Black Friday" on the online poker player community and steps we can take to stand up for poker rights.

This was filmed solely to share information on the fight with fellow poker players and is, by design, a spin-free, no nonsense discussion with no fancy graphics or production.

Please visit http://theppa.org/takeaction and send both letters to your state and federal lawmakers. It takes less than 60 seconds to send them, but you'll be making a strong statement for your right to play poker!

THIS IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL CAMEL SHIT. ANY THING INVOLVING MONEY THE US GOV WANTS. ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, GAMBLING, EVEN HAVE THEIR HAND IN PROSTITUTION. BUT ONLINE POKER IS BAD. LOL I MEAN JESUS CHRIST, IT IS ILEGAL TO PLAY A TELEVISED SPORT IN OUR OWN HOME. THIS IS A DIRECT ATTACK ON OUR RIGHTS. CALL, WRITE COMPLAINE AND PROTEST PEOPLE. IF YOU DONT MORE RIGHTS WILL BE VIOLATED NOT JUST POKER BUT ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE. GOOD GOD, WHAT IS AMERICA COMING TO?

thanks for your efforts TheEngineer and the PPA. I'm contacting my elected officials (again)!

if it was illegal, it doesn't MATTER what you think or how you feel about it. ILLEGAL IS STILL ILLEGAL and U.S. players KNEW they were doing something illegal and continued doing it.  Now everyone wants to cry about it when they get pinched and their money ceased... what a joke! You all destroy your own credibility with your own actions. You should have waited until the laws were changed.

I have the right to pursue happiness (insofar as it doesn't infringe on another's right) automatically, naturally, prior to the government. Why would I appeal to the government to let me do something I already naturally have the right to do.

Just because they get in the way doesn't mean I'm gonna suck their dick.
