The Fight to Save Online Poker

Over the past few months I have been discussing Poker. We have looked at Poker today and in the passed. So why, have I been writing about this. Is it because I like to play Poker… well that is true, but that is not the only reason why. I’m writing about Poker because the government of United States is trying to increase regulation on online Poker. There are different pieces of legislation in different phases on this topic. Some may say what is the big deal? The big deal is clear. The internet is one of the few places were government regulation does not domination our lives. Online Poker unlike in person Poker is not highly regulated. In some states playing poker outside of government controlled areas is all but illegal. The question is why does the government think they need to regulate these things. Why do they think they need to tell us what we can and can not do? Adults should have the right to play Poker online. Online poker has become a front line battle field in the fight against government regulation and interference in your life. So ask your politicians were they stand on online poker. It will give you a clue to their general feelings on government regulation. So look for politicians who support online poker. For this is more that a fight over the right to go all-in with the nut flush, it is a battle for freedom and individual rights.
