Congressman Robert Wexler on Internet Poker Legislation watch!
cardplayer.com — Good interview with congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) on the current state of online poker in regards to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. Wexler talks about personal liberty and about how to stand up for our rights against the big government anti-poker extremists who have chosen to force America's banks to enforce this law.

It sounds like everyone who cares about liberty needs to call or write to Congress over the next couple of weeks. The Poker Players Alliance has an autoletter at www.pokerplayersalliance.org/letter that you can send to Congress in less than 60 seconds. It's personalized and editable, so it doesn't show up as a form letter. Also, my blog - http://theengineer.pokerplayersalliance.org - has a ton of info on this issue.
