Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 1567747, member: 13851"] I got this and wondered just who the opponents are. I can find nothing relevant via google other than some obscure references to anti-gambling zealots. Not relevant. [CENTER][SIZE=4]Thursday, September 16, 2010 [/SIZE][SIZE=4] [/SIZE][/CENTER] [SIZE=4]Dear Dennis,[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]You probably know about our win this summer in the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. By a bipartisan vote of 41-22, the Congress passed out of committee a bill that will create a safe and regulated U.S. market for online poker.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][COLOR=#0000ff][COLOR=#000000] What you may not know is that a small, but loud group of anti-poker zealots are re-doubling their efforts to stop us from succeeding this fall. That’s why we need your help.
