profxavier9 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 i honestly have no clue what the hell is going on.neither do i but it doesnt matter cause im Canadian, although it still effects me in different ways. Can anyone explain to me why pretty much every american and they're dog owns a gun , but now, after however many years they decide that having online gambling is unsafe for its citizens. its god damn ridiculous. Your people are dieing overseas and this what the american goverenment worries about, something that could potentially be a big cash cow for your government.... its really absurd Link to post Share on other sites

TwstdWrstr 10 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Jordan, P5's is saying it's the last thing to be voted on tonight, somewhere around 11pm. And I'm watching CSPAN-2 now, and they are voting on the US-Mexico Border Fence (the HR 6061 bill).Unfortunately upon passage of this bill the Senate determined that, after construction, the U.S. could only afford labor to paint the south-facing side of the fence.

rwood 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 if this bill passes in the house, it will still have to pass in the senate. WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE WE CALL OUR SENATORS FOR OUR STATES, AND GET ANYONE YOU KNOW THAT PLAYS POKER TO CONTACT THEM ALSO. Those who are from CA like me, make sure you contact representative Harmon and Lundgren. http://www.house.gov/list/press/ca03_lungr...feportpost.html CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVEShttp://www.house.gov/writerep/ Link to post Share on other sites
