Sent that email a few months ago. My wife and I both got a response back. Our rep supports the bill. While I obviously do not support it, I definitely understand the reasons they support it in Florida.

Fair enough. But if they hear enough opposition from the people they are supposed to be representing... well, you never know.
Here is the text of the letter, pre-editing: Mine are printing right now. |

I have avoided both of these threads for a reason, when it comes to politics or religion you will NEVER change a persons mind no matter how many facts you have or how good your argument is.
Having said that, TP, I think what you are missing here isn't the idea of weather or not poker is a game of skill or chance but weather or not politicians, who care nothing about poker players unless they make up the majority of voters, passes a bill. If the bill passes and becomes law you must obey it or possibly be prosecuted, it's that simple. You make a very good argument about poker being a skill game, here in Pennsylvania you can make all the great safety arguments you want and you still don't have to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, but you have to wear a seatbelt even as a passenger of a car. Does that make sense? No, but it doesn't matter, guys can crack their skull off the pavement when they wreck up the two-wheeler, but I better not run to the corner store without buckling up, it is what it is. When on-line poker becomes illegal you can still play, but you will be breaking the law no matter how much you disagree with the law and could face prosecution, again, like it or not.
