I play poker on the Internet. It’s a great American game that combines skill, math, and psychology. Unfortunately, scaremongers like Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) are trying to ban this pastime with bills like H.R. 4411, the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, which passed the House in July by a 317-93 margin. The Senate bill will be coming up for a
vote soon and it’s vital that you let your Senator know that you’re opposed to yet another prohibition on having fun.

The Poker Players Alliance is sponsoring a “phone march on Washington” today that makes it easy for you to contact your Senator. Their news alert: Your urgent action is needed! On September 12th the Poker gamers
Alliance with the support of leading poker blogs and forums, PocketFives.com, Wicked Chops Poker and others are organizing a “Phone March” on Capitol Hill. From 9:00 AM Eastern Time, until 5:30 PM Eastern
