Ron Paul Supporters Need to Focus on What Really Matters in Michigan, South Carolina....Poker

With a new reinvigorated, battle ready and obviously...well rehearsed....Ron Paul emerging out of the latest Fox News Republican debate, his supporters are left wondering "What needs to be done now to keep up the momentum?" Simple answer: Focus on the poker communities in both Michigan and South Carolina. And they won't be hard to find.

Millions of American citizens play poker and the majority of them do so online. But the poker playing community was dealt a harsh blow when last year that other Arizona Senator, Jon Kyl, ensured that an online poker prohibition measure found its way onto the unrelated but popular port security act.

One of the few to vote against the prohibition was long time Republican Congressman, Ron Paul. Paul is a co-sponsor of a bill to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, along with chairmanship of the House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank. Talk about bipartisanship!

While the Poker Players Alliance would be a great place for Ron Paul supporters to approach in theory, that grass roots organization has made it clear to Gambling911.com in the past that they cannot be seen as supporting any one candidate, regardless of whether he is the best for their cause. Websites like the Two Plus Two forums have featured Paul-exclusive threads, but their reach is limited.

Some online gambling firms like Bookmaker.com were instrumental in getting their customers to participate in the recent Ron Paul one day fundraising drive. But in order to achieve a larger reach, Ron Paul supporters might consider contacting some of the larger online poker rooms like your PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. If even one of the top two online poker rooms in terms of overall real cash players were to contact their customers resideing in Michigan and South Carolina about Ron Paul's commitment to online gambling and his support of online poker legalization, the affects would be felt for sure. A lot of Ron Paul supporters play at these websites.
