If ever there were a time for an uprising, this is it people. With the recent increase in UIGEA enforcement, online poker players everywhere are seeing what could be an end to their gaming rights. Those who do not take action against this injustice forfeit their right to bitch when the time comes.
There was a time in this country where its citizens didn’t stand for Uncle Sam leaving their posteriors red, white and black and blue. No taxation without representation? Those in favor of online gaming regulation are BEGGING to be taxed! Its advocates are seeking to help our economy thrive. There are several organizations out there that are willing to lend a hand to online poker players. These people don’t call for slactivism; they call for action! Organizations like the Poker Players Alliance have been lobbying in congress, providing gamers with legitimate political clout. There is a national revolution in movement, fighting for our right to gamble; our right to dictate over our own decisions, to spend our own taxed incomes! Poker requires a skill. It’s a subtle art in its own way. Those seeking to bring down its industry are not concerned with your financial well-being. They are concerned others will be caught with their fingers in the pie.
In short, the gaming community must bring its share to the table. Imagine if every person who partakes in online poker wrote a letter to their local officials. There are billions of us out there who stand to make a reasonable impression on our government. The bills for gaming regulations ensure not only your right to play, but also a safe and secure environment to do so. With the exception of those with poor impulse control, every citizen of America stands to benefit from internet gambling. Instead this revenue is being poured into overseas nations, depriving taxpayers from billions of dollars. Do something!
