Nice. The oppressed finally speak, and all the "it's just a few liberties" types are going to hear loud and clear.

I first heard about Ron Paul because of Internet poker. (We call it getting "Fristed") He was the only one who would show up and say that we should be able to do what we want with our money. I was impressed with him before he was running for president. From there, I learned more, and now here I am.

Good to see Gambling 911 follow up their last article with another :)

How about we email other gambling and sportsbook sites about the stance gambling911.com is taking?

An odd thought occurred to me that there are probably people gambling on who wins the election as well, that those people would have an invested interest in getting him elected if they want to win the gamble of the "longshot".

Poker player for RP here and his stance on Internet gambling should not be underestimated. People are really PO'ed about losing their right to play poker online.

Very interesting. I'm tempted to join BetUS.com and put in a bet for Ron Paul.

Grassroots should really reach out to poker players. This is a BIG DEAL!

A perfect example of government trying to legislate morality. There are millions of gamblers in the United States, and Ron Paul is the only candidate addressing the issue.

First time I ever heard about Ron Paul was on the 2+2 forums. Largest Online poker forums on the net and 88th largest forum overall. He has a lot of support there. He came to our support when we were Fristed!

We've got a thread about RP over on our 2+2 forums that's over 2200 posts long. Mainly it's a video thread, but we discuss a whole lot of other stuff too.

Paul was the hero of the online poker community even before he was running, with his speech on the floor before the regulation of the internet:

After that, he showed up at the hearings and spoke out on our behalf when nobody else cared. Because of that, I watched a couple videos about his other positions when I found out he was running. He slowly converted me from an Obama supporter when I found out more. (Although Obama's waffling on the war turned me off too. I find Ron Paul's foreign policy to be MUCH MUCH more in line with my own.)

Well, let's make sure all of them are donating that cash to the campaign that they have been saving up from not gambling online! :D

Being a poker player is one of the MAIN REASONS I am now supporting Ron Paul.
