/s - Polarbearmarket, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4I just read on 2plus2 (NVG forum) that management at Full Tilt is assuring customers that funds are still able to be withdrawn through other processors and that echecks should be back up soon. Comforting words in the midst of this NY mess. Perhaps this is what will help bring about change. Regulate, tax, whatever. Just let me play poker!
- TheEngineer2008, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4Outraged by the freezing of our funds??? I sure hope so! Let's take a stand and fight back. Please visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact and tell Obama what you think of this. Thanks!

Dear President Obama,
It seems your White House has not taken the Government Briefing Book very seriously. The number one issue in Technology is Online Poker.
Politics and political support as we all know permeates from the bottom up. So it is with issues. Though many pressing issues face you and me, more often than not it is the little -- and, to most in Washington, insignificant -- issues that personally affect the individual that matters most.
This technology issue, online poker, is VERY important to many Americans -- Americans who supported you and the Democratic Party, both locally and nationally -- in the belief your administration would treat poker players at least equally to those who play other online games such as Spades, Hearts, Solitaire and dozens of other games who enjoy the right of privacy in their own homes to play online games of skill both for real money and for fun.
Last week, YOUR Department of Justice continued the Bush era assault on poker players' privacy by freezing the personal funds of an estimated TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND (24,000) American Citizens in the estimated amount of THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS ($30,000,000) of your American Citizen supporters' money.
However, given the current action, if this belief was misplaced then support for Democratic candidates AND your administration will likely suffer.
I implore you to direct action be taken addressing this issue and treat me, a poker player with respect and equality.
Thank you for your consideration. - brad3378, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/06/10/2238213/33- ...
