On November 3, 2009 your Congressman Spencer Bachus sent a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board requesting the US Treasury to comply fully with the December 1, 2009 deadline enforcing the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). Congressman Bachus’ letter asks the Treasury and the Fed
to deny the Poker Players Alliance’s petition that seeks to extend the compliance deadline for one year (until Dec. 1, 2010).
By sending this letter, Mr. Bachus, has again made it clear that he supports an irrational prohibition against your right to play poker! [click here to read the letter]
Please call Congressman Bachus at (205) 969-2296 and tell him:
1. That you are a proud poker players, a constituent and a voter
2. That you are disappointed in his continued crusade against your rights
3. That the only proven way to protect children, families and consumer is through sensible regulations not a harmful prohibitions
