Yep, sneaky bastards. Still, the Senate has better things to do, they have burried this thing before and will again.

I hope you're right. Here's another article:
I'll be interested to see the Poker Player's Alliance response to this. |

From pocketfives:
Poker Players Alliance Responds to House Vote Banning Online Poker Washington, D.C.(July 11, 2006) — Michael Bolcerek, president of the Poker Players Alliance, released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would prohibit Americans from playing poker on the Internet. “We are disappointed that the House of Representatives would assail the rights of Americans to enjoy the great game of poker on the Internet. It is unconscionable that a skill game like poker gets swept into the net of prohibition, while online horse betting and Internet lotteries get free passes,” said Mr. Bolcerek. “The United States should follow the lead of the United Kingdom by regulating and taxing online poker, not banning it. An economic analysis just released by our organization shows that U.S. regulation of online poker has the potential to raise more than $3.3 billion in annual revenue for the federal government, in addition to another $1 billion for state coffers. We hope that this analysis will give a fresh perspective for U.S. Senators about the benefits of regulation. “The Poker Players Alliance is undeterred in its mission to promote and protect the game of poker and we will continue to advance the cause on behalf of poker players in the United States.” A copy of the Poker Players Alliance economic analysis can be found at . ### The Poker Players Alliance is a nonprofit organization advocating on behalf of American poker players. |

 How do you figure? I realize you don't live in the U.S., but if this ever passes, it will have very clear GLOBAL impacts. Think about the big picture for a minute before making stupid comments. |

Taja
Of course you realize what happens to the action at every site if the US is not playing, right?

Seems like Taja likes to stop in and try to needle "the USA" everytime the opportunity presents itself. Pathetic needling attempt, yes, but I still see that as his motivation.
He did LEAVE the forum because he didn't want to be associated with it. When does he return? To jab at people about the US in the World Cup and in this thread. He has posted in a few other spots, I admit, but it's still weak.

The funny thing is, that's actually the exact same article as on cnn.com.
And here I thought they were like the opposite ends of the political spectrum.
