I personally know my state senator, and a house of representatives member, one of which is quite crooked, the other quite the opposite and i have spoke to both numerous times. It doesn't look like Kentucky will ever address the online poker issue because they just aren't interested in the whole deal. But Kentucky is wanting to keep the horse industry alive, and it seems the politics here are geared toward that end. Now, if i was the 11th richest man in the world, you can bet things would be different in Kentucky, without a shadow of a doubt.The most irksome thing to me is, Kentucky has NO law against us playing online poker, but we are excluded from 95% of all gambling sites. I'm sure it has something to do with the failed attempt by Kentucky to seize 141 domains awhile back. Sigh, but i still send an unending stream of letters to the Capital.

Monday Action Plan: Tell AGs who signed the poker ban letter to reconsider

**** Monday #Fight4Poker ****

A letter calling for a national ban on online poker (and other online gaming), even state-authorized intrastate online poker, is being circulating to all 50 state attorneys general for signature. It's cleverly worded to sound like they are seeking a clarification of the Wire Act language, but it's really in support of a new bill -- the proposed Internet Gambling Control Act.

• Let's make & like #poker posts on MI Atty. Gen. Bill Schuette's Facebook page. Schuette signed the anti-poker letter, so let's make respectful posts urging him to reconsider:
- www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=595923520487488

• Let's send six of the ten state attorneys general who signed the ban letter prefilled, editable #poker tweets:

- Hawaii: http://spredd.it/7Rlaap2c
- Michigan: http://spredd.it/N2bQ4M72

The casino issue has been such an issue that it's been hard to add to it. Fortunately, as you mention, it seems Churchill wouldn't mind making a move into poker.

Sigh, but i still send an unending stream of letters to the Capital.

I have a meeting with my Congressman, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), set up and am organizing a group of five or so poker supporters to attend with me. The meeting is at his Crescent Hills office (I-75 and Buttermilk Pike, in northern Kentucky) on Thursday, January 23rd, from 4:45 pm - 5:15 pm. Can you join us?

Poker rights

I wish this online poker ban would come to a close. I don't see why the government want to ban poker when there's no talk about the online casino's.
