Very nice job by Annie, thanks for putting that up. She's a great speaker simply because she does her research and believes in what she's saying. Honesty goes a long way. Word Jen!

What I meant when I said I don't understand Goodlatte and those who support anti-gaming legislation is that their point seems to weak - wouldn't stand up to the pro-gaming side in a college debate. I do understand their side but think it's a shady argument. And in truth, I do have a hard time with the fact that those who claim they want smaller government are the first to dive in and try to regulate people's personal freedoms. I have difficulties with their side of the story. I can’t deny my flaming liberal side…

People like Goodlatte seem so small-minded, and I don't understand what's behind his vendetta. He seems so far removed from mainstream America that it boggles the mind. If poker can't win this fight, this country is more backwards than I thought. Honestly, I don’t even truly understand the other side of the argument.

Totally fascinating stuff. I hope a lot of people click it and watch the various testimonies. Am I just being biased in thinking that our side is clearly winning? Thanks for that link, Jen.

(We'll pretend we didn't notice that she kept calling the PPA the Poker Players Association, as opposed to the Alliance.) Is there more video of her out there being questioned by the members? Would love to see it. Just watched the vid … and seriously, great job by Annie.
