Brush up on your poker strategy because on his website Change.gov, then-President Elect/now-President Obama asked us, his constituents, to vote on the issues we found most pressing for our new president and his administration to face on our behalf, and of all the obvious issues cited–the economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistant, immigration, a nuclear Iran–the number 2 most popular item iss regulating legal online poker in the US.
In reaction to the unpopular and unlawful UIEGA, over 30,000 citizens voted ‘Yes’ on the item on the website’s Citizen’s Briefing Book (which invites US citizens to “share your ideas on any issue facing the new administration, then rate or comment on other ideas) entitled “Boost America’s Economy With Legal Online Poker”. Additionally, since the item was posted by AAHue on Monday, January 19, over 1,000 mostly-positive comments were posted on the site on the subject.
