We are a community, 5 million strong, united by our love of recreational online poker. We are diverse. We are men and women, young and old, white, black, hispanic. Family men, conservative Christians and Atheists. As individuals, we are powerless, but together, we wield immense power. We must stand together and reject this unprecedented and egregious breach of trust. We must educate ourselves on who led the drive to introduce this bill. We must not allow the likes of Goodlatte to be reelected and we must be a brick wall blocking Bill Frist's presidential hopes. Those in power today will not listen. We need to seek out political newcomers running for Congress and tell them this issue is important. We must trade our support for them in exchange for their support when they get to Washington. This November 7 is an opportunity. So find out if your Congressman supported the Safe Ports act, or the house bill in August. If he/she did, find his/her challenger, tell them you care, and support them. In the meantime, practice resistance. Unite. This fight is worth fighting.Back to my bong/ 1 dollar MTT

Frist has a fortune in the millions of dollars, most of it the result of his ownership of stock in Hospital Corporation of America, the for-profit hospital chain founded by his brother and father. Frist's 2005 financial disclosure form lists blind trusts valued between $15 million and $45 million.[5]Hospital Corporation of America was the subject of a decade-long Federal investigation into double-bookkeeping and suspected criminal fraud involving the bilking of Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare (the federal program that provides health insurance to members of the military and their families). During this period no one in the Frist family had any executive position in HCA. HCA has paid a total of $1.7 billion in fines, the largest fraud settlement in U.S. history. Shortly after Frist assumed his position as Senate Majority Leader, a final fine of $631 million was assessed and the ongoing Justice Department investigation into HCA was dropped. Rick Scott, who had been hired to run the company after Frist's brother's retirement, quickly left the company. Frist's brother, a billionaire, returned to HCA to get the company back on track; in addition, HCA was allowed to continue its Medicare contracts.[12][13]

Bill Frist medical school experiments controversyFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search The neutrality of this article or section may be compromised by "weasel words".You can help Wikipedia by improving weasel-worded statements. While he was a medical school student, Bill Frist (now a Republican U.S. Senator from Tennessee and Senate Majority Leader) performed medical experiments on shelter cats while researching the use of drugs on the mitral valve. By his own account, Frist improperly obtained these cats from Boston animal shelters, falsely telling shelter staff he was adopting the cats as pets. In his 1989 book Transplant, Frist admitted that he killed these cats during medical experiments at Harvard Medical School, as part of what he claimed were his studies.[1]In his book, Frist explained that he succumbed to the pressure to succeed in a highly competitive medical school. Frist stated that he "treat[ed] them as pets for a few days" before he "cart[ed] them off to the lab to die." He went on to say, "And I was totally schizoid about the entire matter. By day, I was little Billy Frist, the boy who lived on Bowling Avenue in Nashville and had decided to become a doctor because of his gentle father and a dog named Scratchy. By night, I was Dr. William Harrison Frist, future cardiothoracic surgeon, who was not going to let a few sentiments about cute, furry little creatures stand in the way of his career. In short, I was going a little crazy." He went on to describe why he conducted animal experiments: "It can even be beautiful and thrilling work, as I discovered that day in the lab when I first saw the wonderful workings of a dog's heart . . . I spent days and nights on end in the lab, taking the hearts out of cats, dissecting each heart, suspending a strip of tiny muscle that attaches the mitral valve to the inner wall of the cat heart and recording the effects of various medicines I added to the bath surrounding the muscle." "I lost my supply of cats. I only had six weeks to complete my project before I resumed my clinical rotations. Desperate, obsessed with my work, I visited the various animal shelters in the Boston suburbs, collecting cats . . . it was a heinous and dishonest thing to do." Senator Bill FristAlthough Frist's book had been published more than a decade before, the matter created public controversy after mention in a Boston Globe profile, published after his election as Senate majority leader. PETA, which opposes scientific experimentation on animals that results in death or cruel treatment demanded that Frist atone by sponsoring legislation to protect animals from unnecessary suffering. In response, Frist's office reaffirmed that he denounced the action, but made no promises about any animal protection legislation.Some claim that Frist's actions violated a criminal statute prohibiting cruelty to animals.[2] Frist was never charged under this statute and his defenders have pointed out that until 1983 Massachusetts law permitted shelters to release animals for laboratory experiments, and some states continue to permit such activity today. Because the Boston area animal shelters in Frist's case did not release the animals to Frist knowing they would be used for experimentation because of his deception, these laws may not have applied to the facts presently in the public record about Frist's actions.

So I just had this idea to go over to Wikipedia and inform people of Frist's idiocy... when I saw this on his page:"Because of recent vandalism, editing of this article by anonymous or newly registered users is currently disabled. Such users may discuss changes, request unprotection, or create an account."I guess other people had the same idea.Look, if you're a politician you just don't want to piss off volatile poker players. Can you imagine Phil Hellmuth assassinating Bill Frist? Probably not. Can you imagine Phil Hellmuth assassinating Bill Frist right after taking a two outer bad beat? I CAN!- TR

I sent him this this morning:To my dear masters at the US Ministry of Unsolicited, Forced Moral Abstinence; I thank you. Too long have I been allowed to do damage to myself with “immoral” freedoms. Too long has the Government gone without a legal monopoly on gambling.The most dangerous part about victimless crimes is that I don't have the common good to think about while doing it; making me so footloose and irresponsible that I can't even imagine the things I might do to myself without comrades like you to watch my back, and then force my hand, without my permission. Thanks again, guys, I now know that gambling is wrong... unless the Government holds the action, in which case it's fine, for some reason.Blindly yours,[name removed]P.S. Believe it or not, some people don't share our views: maybe you could scare them by involving church groups or accusing people of endangering children. That should do it.
